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.

Members of Carvana’s leadership team shared an overview of the facility’s operations and answered questions, providing institutional investors and analysts with a deeper understanding of the company's strategic initiatives and high-quality standards.

“Having visited two other IRCs pre-pandemic, we came away impressed with the improvement in process, standardization and efficiency in this latest prototype facility, with in-house software facilitating much of the most recent improvement,” Wedbush analysts noted.1

The tour highlighted the company's software development, a cornerstone of its innovative approach to vehicle reconditioning. “Carvana’s enhanced proprietary software underpins everything behind the scenes, with the goal to get data at the right time to the right users to maximize efficiencies and enhance the customer experience,” analysts at William Blair shared.2 This data-centric approach and process standardization across all Inspection and Reconditioning Centers drive significant cost savings and operational efficiencies.

The event also underlined Carvana’s ability to scale efficiently once the company returns to growth. The powerful infrastructure built to support auto e-commerce was on display at the Haines City IRC. Carvana currently operates 17 IRCs across the country with an additional 56 ADESA locations that support Carvana’s vehicle reconditioning, infrastructure, and logistics capable of providing coverage to 81.1% of the U.S. population.

Speaking to Carvana’s current utilization of its infrastructure, William Blair noted, “Given significant excess capacity across its system (which can support a tripling in volume), Carvana sees a clear opportunity for significant leverage when it returns to growth.”2
