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.

Stellar Cyber Named as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Midsize Enterprises, 2023 for XDR Platforms

Stellar Cyber, the innovator of Open XDR technology, has been included as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner report, Hype Cycle for Midsize Enterprises, 2023. The report details, “Effective investments in technology are among the most substantive ways to augment the limited capabilities of resource-constrained midsize enterprises. This Hype Cycle helps MSE technology leaders identify and strategically apply technology solutions to execute against business and IT priorities.” In its section on XDR platforms, the report says, “purchasing a systemic detection stack in the form of XDR can simplify product selection and acquisition.”

According to the report, “The simplicity of XDR to detect common threats reduces the need for internal skill sets and could reduce the staff needed to operate a more complex solution, such as security information and event management (SIEM). XDR can also help reduce the time and complexity associated with security operations tasks through a single centralized investigation and response system.”

In addition, the report discusses drivers for XDR platforms:

  • “XDR platforms appeal to organizations with modest maturity needs due to the detection logic, mostly vendor-provided, that generally requires less customization and maintenance.”
  • “XDRs appeal to organizations looking for improved visibility across the security stack, as well as those looking to lower the administration requirements of more complex incident response (IR) solutions.”
  • “Midsize organizations that struggle to correlate and respond to alerts generated from disparate security controls appreciate the productivity gain from centralized XDR interfaces. Staff with the required skills to maintain and operate an extensible detection stack are hard to recruit and retrain.”

Among the user recommendations offered by XDR analysts Eric Ahlm, Thomas Lintemuth, and Franz Hinner was that midsized enterprises should “favor security products that provide APIs for information sharing, and that allow automated actions to be sent from an XDR solution,” which dovetails perfectly with Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR product philosophy.

“Since we debuted our groundbreaking Open XDR Platform five years ago, it has become a favorite for MSSPs and enterprises,” said Steve Garrison, SVP of Marketing at Stellar Cyber. “Our AI-driven detection and response and our intuitive, unified dashboard uniquely enable comprehensive visibility and protection for them while leveraging their existing assets.”
