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.

New Study Finds Contractors Can Benefit from Safer Fleet Operations, Including Productivity and Profitability Gains

By: via Business Wire

The study exposes the impacts that contractors experience from safety challenges in the operation and maintenance of their vehicles and equipment, and it reveals opportunities for deploying technology to address them.

New data published today by Dodge Construction Network, in partnership with Motive Inc., reveals that contractors still see significant impacts to their projects and businesses due to the operation and maintenance of their fleets of vehicles and equipment. The data comes from “The Safety on the Move: Automated Fleet Management and the Future of Safety for Contractors” e-book, available now.

Key findings include:

  • Vehicles: Accidents and near-misses are reported by 57% of contractors. More than half find that these issues lead to productivity declines and increased insurance costs, while more than one third experience schedule delays and profitability declines.
  • Equipment: While accidents and near misses for equipment are reported by fewer contractors (27%), they more frequently result in the negative impacts to productivity and schedule. In fact, 60% of those who experience them link them directly to a decline in profitability on their projects.
  • Maintenance: 66% of contractors also experience safety issues due to the need for improved fleet maintenance, including both vehicles and equipment.

“Most contractors make jobsite safety a top priority, and they understand its critical role in the success of their projects,” says Steve Jones, senior director of industry insights research at Dodge Construction Network. “But these findings make it clear that vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance need to be a bigger part of the safety conversation than they are now.”

The study also reveals a notable opportunity for contractors to automate how they track and manage their fleet safety. The findings show that while 76% of contractors track vehicle safety and 62% track driver behavior, most rely on paper forms or spreadsheets to do so. Only one quarter (25%) automate data gathering on driver behavior, and even fewer (18%) automate their fleet safety tracking.

The same is true for fleet maintenance, with only 25% using automation or AI to help them manage that process. However, the study reveals that 80% of those using technology for that process find that it improves safety on their projects.

“Too often, safety is seen as a compliance requirement and not what it really is: a key element of a company’s operations that benefits the bottom line, and more importantly protects people, property and reputation,” says Abhishek Gupta, vice president of Product for Fleet Management at Motive. “The improved working conditions, efficiency, and cost savings that come with making safety a priority mean it should be a primary consideration for any business operating in the physical economy.”

For more information about the study findings and the tools available to contractors to help them better manage the safety of their fleet, the Safety on the Move e-book is available for download here.
