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.

Heffernan Implements Guidewire HazardHub for Faster and More Accurate Risk Assessment

Independent insurance broker leveraging HazardHub to enhance customer service and grow business

Heffernan Insurance Brokers (Heffernan), one of the largest full-service, independent insurance brokerage firms in the United States, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Heffernan implemented Guidewire HazardHub to provide comprehensive property and casualty (P&C) risk data in order to better tailor insurance coverages for its customers and grow its business.

“We selected HazardHub because it offers us the most meaningful data set for property risk in the industry, such as fire hydrant locations,” said Heffernan Chief Information Officer Katherine Grasman. “The way HazardHub accumulates and augments data is by far the best that we’ve seen in the market. We’re able to leverage all of the data and functionality for a single reasonable price, unlike other solutions that we looked at in the market that offered add-ons and modules at different price points.”

Heffernan Small Business Operations Manager Kelly Planeta added, “HazardHub data is helping our staff work more efficiently, our brokers to have more meaningful conversations with prospects, and our customers to better understand their quotes and policies. It is a welcome departure from our previous system, which was too complex to meet our business needs.”

“Heffernan is a well-respected leader among independent brokerages, and we’re thrilled to partner with them to help deliver critical risk insights to property insurance buyers in both personal and commercial lines,” said Guidewire Vice President of Product Management Chris Folkman. “Customers like Heffernan motivate us to relentlessly improve upon our catalog of more than 1,400 P&C risk factors and scores, and we’re pleased that they've joined the hundreds of brokers, insurers, and reinsurers using this valuable data.”
