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.

Overall Website Satisfaction Declines among Battery Electric Vehicle Shoppers as Demand for Tools Increases, J.D. Power Finds

Lincoln Website Ranks Highest in Premium Segment; Kia Ranks Highest in Mass Market Segment

Fast-loading technical specifications, comparison tools and payment/lease calculators are having a big effect on satisfaction among online shoppers, specifically those researching battery electric vehicles (BEVs), according to the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study,SM —Summer, released today. The study also finds an increase in satisfaction when shoppers engage with manufacturer website tools, though BEV shoppers are still less satisfied than non-BEV shoppers.

“While inventory shortages continue to be a major source of frustration, we’re seeing vehicle shopping tools have a greater effect on the BEV experience than ever before,” said Eric McCready, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “Consumers don’t want to visit multiple sites when researching a vehicle. With more than half of BEV shoppers using technical specification tools, there’s an opportunity for manufacturers to boost the shopping experience with tools to cover range, time to charge details, charging locations and calculators that reflect tax credit information and fuel savings.”

The J.D. Power U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study—Summer is a semiannual study that measures the usefulness of automotive manufacturer websites during the process of shopping for a new vehicle by examining four key measures (in order of importance): information/content; visual appeal; navigation; and speed.

This wave finds that overall satisfaction averages 711 (on a 1,000-point scale) for the premium segment and 705 for the mass market segment, down 13 and 6 points, respectively, from the previous wave.

Study Rankings

Lincoln ranks highest among premium manufacturer websites with a score of 737. Lexus (734) ranks second and BMW (730) ranks third.

Kia ranks highest for the mass market manufacturer website segment with a score of 729. Subaru (724) ranks second and Jeep (721) ranks third.

See the rank charts for each segment at http://www.jdpower.com/pr-id/2022081.

The U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study, initially released in 1999, is based on responses from 11,398 new-vehicle shoppers who indicate they will be in the market for a new vehicle within the next 24 months. The study was fielded April through May 2022.
