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.

SDS Takes Home ASTORS Platinum Award, Capping Off a Year of Prestigious Accolades

Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM) company and pioneer in gunshot detection systems for the commercial market, today announced its latest win recognizing the company’s advanced technology. The American Security Today’s (AST) ASTORS Platinum Award for Best Gunshot Detection Solution. This recent achievement caps off a year of numerous recognitions and highlights the company's innovative SDS Indoor Gunshot Detection System.

The award-winning SDS Indoor Gunshot Detection System and its technology advancements in 2023 now includes the groundbreaking feature called ResponderLink. This innovative tool merges the robustness of SDS’s dual-factor gunshot detection sensors with the efficiency of Noonlight’s SendPolice platform. The result is a state-of-the-art emergency response solution that significantly streamlines the delivery of critical data to 911 Call Centers during a gun violence incident, while considerably reducing the communication burden on victims during such crises.

ResponderLink is a product of the combined expertise of SDS and Noonlight's engineers. They have developed an immediate, two-way data interface that connects SDS' mapping and alerting software with Noonlight's SendPolice Platform. With the activation of the new ResponderLink service, SDS customers can be assured that their data is effectively and securely transmitted to a 911 Call Center (also known as the PSAP or Public Safety Answering Point) via trained Safety Agents from Noonlight.

This year, SDS has garnered numerous awards for its innovative indoor gunshot detection solution and the addition of ResponderLink, which recognize the value of immediate notification of an event, faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols, and the advanced situational awareness ResponderLink provides. These include the Campus Safety BEST Award for Fire/Life Safety, Gold and Platinum New Product of the Year Awards for Weapons Detection and Emergency Communication Systems, two Gold Secure Campus Awards for Emergency Notification/Mass Notification and Fire/Life Safety, and honorable mention in the Emergency Communications category of the SecurityInfoWatch Reader’s Choice Awards.

The ASTORS Platinum Award is the crowning achievement in a year of industry recognition for SDS. The company is proud of its commitment to innovation and safety and looks forward to continuing to provide innovative solutions in the years to come.
