About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Golden Bear Insurance Company (Golden Bear), a leading provider of commercial property and casualty, professional liability, and residential insurance, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Golden Bear has selected Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud to power claims management, simplify IT operations, adapt more quickly to changing market demands, and deliver more value to policyholders.

“We selected Guidewire for its market leadership, product maturity, and track record of successful implementation projects. None of the other P&C industry cloud providers we looked at measured up to Guidewire,” said Stacey Jackson, Esq., general counsel, Golden Bear. “Subscribing to ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud fits with our overall business and IT strategy since our other custom-built systems for underwriting and accounting are also cloud-based.”

It will also provide us with critical day-to-day reports, dashboards, and next-generation predictive analytics and give us the capability of using predictive models that can be compared with industry averages. All of that is beautifully organized and presented in Guidewire Cloud so that we have real-time information that we can send to our leadership team or underwriters for their decision-making, as well as to our insureds to help them make better risk management decisions. We will be able to harness the power of Guidewire to do great things for our insureds.”

“We look forward to helping Golden Bear implement ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud,” said Victor Voss, managing partner and principal consultant, Blackcomb Consultants. “By selecting Guidewire and Blackcomb, Golden Bear will be better able to continue to address the specific needs of its customers in a rapidly-changing insurance market.”
