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.

Blue Yonder Reveals How Retailers Can Change Business Trajectory and Drive Better ROI By Orchestrating Supply Chains from Planning to Execution at NRF 2024

By: via Business Wire

Drive more impactful decisions by breaking down silos between solutions, people and data to unlock exponential value in supply chains with Blue Yonder

As retailers look for ways to improve their supply chains and simultaneously address changing consumer shopping habits, there is an increasing need to synchronize across retail systems from planning to omni-channel execution to generate the real-time insights and actions needed to accelerate business transformation to stay ahead of the market. At the National Retail Federation (NRF) 2024: Retail’s Big Show Jan. 14-16, 2024, in New York City, Blue Yonder (Booth # 4239) will showcase how the company’s latest cognitive capabilities and end-to-end interoperability help retailers drive better, faster and more impactful decisions by breaking down silos between people and data to unlock the hidden value within their supply chain.

“The past few years have proven that retail is ever evolving. But one thing remains consistent: the need to meet and manage consumer expectations,” said Vince Beacom, senior vice president, Retail, Blue Yonder. “To this end, retailers need to make decisions faster and with true visibility across their supply chain. That’s why Blue Yonder is excited to showcase our new cognitive planning and execution solutions and Blue Yonder Orchestrator, our generative AI capability, at NRF 2024. Retailers will also have a chance to check out our latest returns management solutions thanks to our recent acquisition of Doddle, which is helping us redefine profitable and sustainable reverse logistics and returns management for our customers. In addition, retailers will also have a chance to hear from our customers PVH and Wegmans about how they are delivering lasting results with Blue Yonder’s solutions.”

Exponential Potential

Today's retail supply chain is an ecosystem of functional silos and disparate solutions with competing needs. Retailers are making daily tradeoffs between addressing business needs, balancing availability against waste, maintaining customer satisfaction, and delivering omni-channel confidence all while maintaining lean logistics. Blue Yonder’s cognitive platform eliminates legacy constraints and unifies people and technology to serve customers faster and more efficiently, acting as the single comprehensive supply chain solutions partner to drive more sustainable ROI. This helps retailers orchestrate their entire supply chains to accelerate merchandise and supply chains plans, amplify shopping experiences, strengthen consumer trust and confidence, and supercharge fulfillment.

At the session titled “From Silos to Success: How Leading Retailers Deliver Lasting Results,” Blue Yonder’s Beacom will moderate a discussion about how decisions that drive short-term gains can over time cause contradictions across departments and diminish the overall results. More meetings, loose integrations, and one-way data sharing will only take retailers so far.
