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 Urban Institute Report Outlines How Project DASH and Home Delivery Connect People Experiencing Food Insecurity with Charitable Food

By: via Business Wire

Charitable food is a crucial tool to help fight food insecurity, but access is challenging for many people: families with unreliable access to transportation, people with disabilities, or seniors for whom spending hours in line poses serious health risks. In 2018, DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) launched Project DASH to help break down barriers to access, empowering food banks, food pantries, and other social impact organizations to use DoorDash logistics to power the delivery of charitable food and other essential items. Since its launch, Project DASH has powered over 5 million deliveries of more than an estimated 80 million meals across the U.S. and Canada.

Today, the Urban Institute released its report, Connecting People with Charitable Food through New Home Delivery Partnerships, which studies the effectiveness of Project DASH home delivery partnerships. The report, supported by DoorDash, analyzed data from Project DASH partners and clients that receive home delivery, and found that home delivery has helped alleviate organizational capacity challenges in implementing home delivery, reduced stigma and enhanced convenience for clients by connecting hard-to-reach populations with charitable food, and expanded the communities anti-hunger organizations served. Importantly, the report finds that home delivery of charitable food, which expanded over the course of the pandemic, is a permanent part of the food access ecosystem and one which needs sustainable funding solutions. This report comes as the country recognizes Hunger Action Month, which provides an opportunity to collaborate on new ways to combat food insecurity.

Some of the report’s key findings include:

  • 80 percent of surveyed anti-hunger organizations stated that a motivating factor in seeking a DoorDash partnership was the ability to reach new people in need.
  • More than 90 percent of surveyed anti-hunger organizations reported that partnering with DoorDash allowed them to build capacity for services they otherwise would not be able to offer.
    • About three-quarters of surveyed anti-hunger organizations reported that they could reach new populations and over half named reduced staff time and reduced transportation costs as key capacity-expanding benefits of the Project DASH partnership.
  • Home delivery removed food access barriers by helping the majority (97.8 percent) of surveyed clients save money and by providing charitable food to over three-quarters of clients who faced chronic health conditions and mobility challenges and filled food access gaps, with less than half of surveyed clients receiving charitable food before Project DASH.
  • Surveyed clients identified multiple ways that home delivery had supported them in taking care of themselves or their families.
    • The vast majority of surveyed clients cited home delivery’s value in taking care of their own health (88.8 percent), while 28 percent said it helped them as they were caring for someone else who was sick.
    • More than three in four surveyed clients cited trouble traveling to food bank sites because of chronic health conditions or mobility limitations.
    • More than two-thirds of surveyed clients cited a lack of adequate transportation and lack of accessibility of the food site.
    • More than half of surveyed clients cited a lack of available support from family and friends to get to a food site.
  • 82 percent of anti-hunger organizations reported that they plan to continue offering home delivery to clients in the future, although funding is crucial to ensuring the sustainability of home delivery (96.6 percent).

“Without DoorDash’s involvement [our partner agencies] were able to handle maybe 10 clients [for home delivery], and now all four of those agencies have said that they’re feeling really good with serving 40 clients that they each have.”

– Project DASH partner interviewee

“I can’t drive anymore because of my disability, so the fact that I found out that I did not have to ask someone to go to the food bank, that I could have it delivered, that was, like, very good news for me.”

– A surveyed client who receives home delivery

Project DASH’s impact on broadening food access is powered by the work of our partners in their communities. We’re proud that Project DASH has enabled our food bank partners to reach more people experiencing hunger in a way that emphasizes client dignity and convenience. For organizations that want to expand access via home delivery through Project DASH, you can contact us at projectdash@doordash.com. As part of our mission to empower local economies, DoorDash will continue to help broaden food access via home delivery and we’re grateful for the work of our partners who are leading the fight to end food insecurity in their communities.
