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.

Business Wireline Customer Satisfaction Increases—But for Different Reasons, J.D. Power Finds

AT&T Ranks Highest in Large Enterprise Business Segment for Sixth Consecutive Year and Highest in Medium Business Segment; Verizon Ranks Highest in Small Business Segment for Fifth Consecutive Year

From small business to large enterprise, each business wireline segment has different needs from their provider and those needs are increasingly being met, according to the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Business Wireline Satisfaction Study,SM released today. Overall satisfaction has increased across all three segments: small business (+30 on a 1,000-point scale), medium business (+14) and large enterprise (+13).

“Business wireline providers have shown they can be nimble and cater to each business segment’s needs,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “Specifically, we see that small business customers quickly want to be informed of outages, why they were caused and that their provider is on top of it. Medium business customers need efficiency, specifically with access to bill pay on mobile apps and customer service contact. Large enterprise customers are receiving provider communications in their preferred format and although they say receiving fewer communications this year than last, they are just as likely to say the frequency as ‘just right.’ Business customer service cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach; flexibility and resiliency is key to continuing an increase in satisfaction.”

Study Results

In the large enterprise segment, AT&T ranks highest for a sixth consecutive year, with a score of 886. Verizon (880) ranks second.

In the medium business segment, AT&T ranks highest with a score of 861. Verizon (860) ranks second.

In the small business segment, Verizon ranks highest for a fifth consecutive year with a score of 828. AT&T (813) ranks second.

The 2023 U.S. Business Wireline Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 5,141 business customers of data and voice services. The study evaluates business wireline experiences across six factors: performance and reliability; cost of service; communications; sales representatives and account executives; billing; and customer service. The large enterprise segment includes businesses with 500 or more employees; the medium business segment includes businesses with 20 to 499 employees; and the small business segment includes businesses with less than 20 employees. The study was fielded from March through May 2023.
