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.

ERI Teams with Staples to Launch Nationwide Tech Trade-In Program

By: via Business Wire

Staples and ERI Invite Everyone to Trade-In and Upgrade their Used Tech with Same-Day Credit on New Items

ERI, the nation’s largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, announced today it is teaming with Staples to support an innovative new nationwide consumer technology trade-in program.

ERI and Staples are building on their longstanding commitment to e-waste recycling—over 188 million pounds recycled since the program launch in 2012—with a new Tech Trade-In program that allows customers to extend the life of their newer, unused tech rather than letting it collect dust in a closet.

This Tech Trade-In program can be utilized at every Staples store nationwide. Customers will receive a Staples e-gift card for the value of their working tech once they drop off their device at their local Staples. Anyone can bring in unwanted (but still functional) electronic devices and receive immediate, same-day credit. Staples associates will be on-site to assist with the process and answer any questions, making trading in old technology easier than ever.

“It’s an honor and privilege to continue the partnership efforts with our friends and colleagues at Staples to provide a consumer-friendly, convenient in-store tech trade-in program,” said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of ERI. “The Tech Trade-In program is helping people receive big discounts on the purchase of new devices, while making sure their old tech is responsibly refurbished. The program is sure to benefit communities from coast to coast.”

How to Trade in Tech at Staples

The Tech Trade-In process is straightforward. Customers can generate a device value quote through Staples’ online trade-in portal, then bring their devices to any Staples location to complete the trade-in and receive store credit toward any new purchase. Payment in the form of a Staples e-gift card will be e-mailed to the guest within minutes, ready to use immediately upon receipt. A Staples associate will then pack up the used device for responsible refurbishment.

Eligible devices include qualifying:

  • Desktops;
  • Gaming Consoles;
  • iPods;
  • Laptops;
  • Mobile Phones;
  • Smart Watches; and
  • Tablets.

“At a time when everyone is looking to save, this program literally pays you for your unwanted tech,” said Brian Coupland, Senior Vice President Merchandising at Staples. “We’re helping people to get the most out of their old tech so they can get the best deal on the new tech they want.”
