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.

BGA Partners with Pepper to Launch the Island’s First Mobile Ordering Solution

UniPro member BGA is the first on-island food distributor to enable a white label app for their customers to order and shop from

Bermuda General Agency (BGA), a leading foodservice distributor for Bermuda, has joined forces with Pepper to revolutionize their business with the help of a cutting-edge mobile ordering solution.

BGA Wholesale is committed to delivering the best products and services to their customers. In an ever-evolving industry, BGA felt it was important to invest in a streamlined customer-facing experience to deliver the greatest value to chefs and restaurants. By partnering with Pepper, BGA has taken a significant step towards achieving that goal, and they look forward to continuing to innovate and grow.

"We are thrilled to be working with Pepper to bring our customers the latest in mobile ordering technology," said John Tomlinson, CEO, BGA. "Pepper's platform has allowed us to streamline our operations and offer a more efficient and convenient ordering experience for our customers."

BGA has been a member of UniPro, one of the largest foodservice buying organizations in the world, since 1994. As a member of UniPro, BGA has access to a vast network of resources and expertise that has helped them stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. Pepper is the preferred eCommerce provider of UniPro Foodservice, and the partnership with Pepper has allowed BGA to take their business to the next level by offering their customers a sophisticated mobile ordering experience. With Pepper's platform, BGA customers can easily browse product catalogs, place orders, and communicate with their BGA Sales Rep – all from their mobile devices. Since their official launch in February 2023, BGA customers have placed nearly 1,000 orders through the app, and within just six weeks after launch, the average basket size increased by over 37%.

"We are VERY happy with the roll-out process and how quickly and efficiently the Pepper team brought us onboard, said Aaron Bloom, Division Manager, BGA. “Getting accounts set-up, pricing set, and displays configured has been a breeze. It is truly refreshing to find a product that is designed for our line of business— it does everything we could have wished for, is user friendly, and isn’t just patchwork over an existing ERP that was designed for a different business need. It is astounding what we have accomplished in so little time."

Pepper's mission is to empower food distributors to provide the best digital experience for their customers. Their full-service online ordering catalog and payments platform enables food distributors to achieve impressive business outcomes such as +23% sales growth, 93% buyer retention, 25% lift in sales rep productivity, and meaningful reduction in DSO cycle time. The Pepper team are ERP integration experts, supporting all food verticals, including c-store, broadline, seafood, produce, and all others. They are dedicated to improving the ordering experience and relationship between food distributors and their customers.

"Partnering with BGA has been an exciting opportunity for us," said Erin Graham, Vice President of Operations & Strategy, Pepper. "We are thrilled to be working with a company that is so committed to delivering the best products and services to their customers. Our mobile ordering platform has helped BGA improve their customer experience and increase their sales, and we look forward to continuing to support their growth."
