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.

With the latest release of B2B Edition, and acquisitions of long-time technology partners BundleB2B and B2B Ninja, BigCommerce has transformed the way sellers and buyers do business, turning legacy B2B practices into a modern, agile and nimble digital operation with a composable foundation ready to ambitiously scale with the business.

The global B2B ecommerce market size is estimated to reach just over $33 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 20.2%. As B2B ecommerce catches up to its B2C counterpart, BigCommerce remains invested in giving enterprise B2B brands the enterprise-grade capabilities that collectively bring the flexibility and customization needed to elevate online selling experiences and meet digitally native buyers where they are to influence conversions, repeat purchasing and loyalty.

“BigCommerce has incorporated a wide range of B2B functionality in the platform, making B2B ecommerce practical and accessible for large B2B brands seeking a simplified approach to ecommerce,” said Brent Bellm, CEO at BigCommerce. “The progress we’ve made in this year’s Paradigm B2B Combines validates our ability to meet midmarket and enterprise business needs to drive growth and exceed B2B buyer expectations.”

BigCommerce's platform received 12 medals in the Paradigm B2B (Midmarket Edition) and 12 medals in the Paradigm B2B (Enterprise Edition), including the advancement of Ability to Execute moving from Silver to Gold (Midmarket Edition) for a total of 5 Gold medals and the advancement of Sales & Channel Enablement from Silver to Gold (Enterprise Edition) for a total of 2 Gold medals.

Developed and personally evaluated by Paradigm B2B CEO and B2B ecommerce expert Andy Hoar, the Paradigm B2B Combine assesses all vendor solutions on a five-point scale across 38 detailed and weighted criteria based on Andy’s years of industry experience, as well as his nearly 80 recent interviews with B2B practitioners such as VPs of ecommerce and IT decision-makers. Medals were awarded based on composite scores in 12 distinct categories.

“With a new generation of B2B customers expecting transparency at all stages of the buying cycle, B2B sellers need to rethink the entire buyer/seller equation and how they approach migrating offline customers to online,” said Andy Hoar, chief executive officer at Paradigm B2B. “BigCommerce’s customers spoke highly of the company’s extensive partner ecosystem and rich open application marketplace with robust APIs and easy configuration. BigCommerce is particularly well-suited for both midmarket and enterprise B2B companies looking for a value-priced, partner-centric, multi-tenant SaaS ecommerce solution that leverages an extensive open application marketplace to deliver robust functionality.”
