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.

E2open Ocean Shipping Index Reflects Increase in Cross-Ocean Shipment Transit Times Due to Geopolitical Unrest and Natural Disasters

Latest report finds two-day increase from previous quarter in average global shipment duration across most major shipping lanes

E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ETWO), the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network, has published the latest edition of its Ocean Shipping Index, a quarterly benchmark report that provides insight for decision-making around global ocean shipments. Report data indicates that despite stability in recent quarters, all major shipping lanes in the index saw duration increases from two to four days for the fourth quarter of 2023, an upward trend that continues in the first month of 2024. Multiple recent global shipping challenges, including a drought in the Panama Canal and the threat of attacks in the Red Sea, have shippers and ocean carriers considering alternate routes that are significantly longer.

The e2open Ocean Shipping Index provides shippers with data-driven findings to better anticipate and adapt to factors contributing to delays. The report, published quarterly, is based on ocean shipping activity on e2open’s business network, encompassing over 480,000 connected enterprises managing 15 billion transactions and tracking more than 70 million containers annually. Providing details down to booking date, e2open’s Ocean Shipping Index arms the market with unique and timely insights for proactive and optimal decision-making.

“Two of the world’s most important waterways for moving global ocean shipments are experiencing tremendous challenges,” said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president, products and strategy for e2open. “The latest Ocean Shipping Index illustrates how these seemingly local disruptions are quickly impacting global logistics, causing uncertainty, and making it more difficult for companies to meet customers’ expectations. Not only do companies have to deal with longer transit times and cost, but they must also factor in the environmental impact of longer sailings. Longer sailing times also affect available container capacity for full as well as empty containers. The full impact of these disruptions is still unfolding and remains to be told in next quarter’s index; hence shippers and ocean carriers should continue to monitor transit times and update their demand, supply, and logistics planning parameters while taking proactive steps now to mitigate these disruptions.”

Noteworthy findings from the latest e2open Ocean Shipping Index covering the fourth quarter of 2023 include:

  • The global average shipment duration increased over the last quarter by two days, up to 60 days.
  • All major shipping lanes in the index saw duration increases.
  • Exports from Asia to North America and Asia to Europe averaged 60 and 64 days, respectively, reflecting an increase of three days in each route compared to the prior quarter.
  • Shipment duration from North America to Europe increased by four days, greater than forecasted.
  • Asia to South America routes saw an increase in shipment duration of two days from the previous quarter and four days from the same quarter in 2022.
