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.

J.B. Hunt’s Veteran-Friendly Culture Earns National Recognitions From VIQTORY, Newsweek and Military Times

By: via Business Wire

Logistics and transportation leader named Top 10 Military Friendly® Employer, America’s Greatest Workplaces for Veterans and Best for Vets

J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT), one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, announced today that it has been honored with national recognitions from VIQTORY as a Top 10 Military Friendly® Employer, Newsweek as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Veterans, and Military Times as Best for Vets.

“We are honored that these leading organizations have recognized the workplace environment J.B. Hunt strives to create for our veterans,” said Brad Hicks, president of highway services and executive vice president of people at J.B. Hunt. “Supporting our veterans ties in with our culture and legacy, providing a much deeper meaning. We continue to enhance our workplace so that service members feel valued for their service, experience and expertise as well as the excellence, commitment and honor they represent.”

This is the 18th consecutive year that J.B. Hunt has earned Military Friendly® Employer status and the second time to be included in the Top 10. It is the company’s first time receiving Best for Vets recognition from Military Times and to be included among Newsweek’s America’s Best Workplaces for Veterans. Earlier this year, J.B. Hunt was recognized by the Arkansas Veterans of Foreign Wars as Employer of the Year. More information about these awards, including methodology and criteria, is available on each organization’s website.

As a company founded by both a veteran and driver, J.B. Hunt understands that the skills and expertise gained through military service can lead to a successful career in transportation and logistics. Nearly one in every nine J.B. Hunt employees is a veteran, and the company is committed to adding approximately 1,600 veterans to its organization each year.

From Active Service to Professional Career

J.B. Hunt’s commitment to hiring and enabling veterans includes programming that meets their professional needs and assists with their transition from active service to a civilian career. The company hosts multiple programs, training opportunities and resources that enable their professional growth, including:

  • Military Leave Benefits – J.B. Hunt provides comprehensive benefits for employees who serve in any stage of their career or service. Military members and their family members are also eligible to take up to 26 weeks per calendar year to care for a family member who suffers an injury or becomes ill while on active duty.
  • Active-Duty Support – The company provides active-duty employees with a military deployment and re-entry guide and offers differential pay policies to support their military and civilian career.
  • Military Leave Concierge Service – For members of the National Guard and Reserve, J.B. Hunt provides employees and their families with assistance through each of the four phases of military leave. This service includes consultation and support from a Gold Star family member.
  • SkillBridge Program – Through this Department of Defense program, service members are given the opportunity to gain civilian work experience while still on active duty. SkillBridge is available to military members, as well as their spouses, who are within 180 days of release from active duty. Additionally, the company's Apprenticeship Program offers a route for military members interested in transitioning directly to a driver position.
  • Veterans Employee Resource Group – Recognizing the power of community, J.B. Hunt hosts an employee resource group dedicated to empowering and engaging employees and to support the professional and personal success of veterans.

Additionally, J.B. Hunt holds annual company-wide Memorial Day and Veterans Day observance events and has hosted the Arkansas Run for the Fallen Traveling Memorial each November since 2017. In December, the company will participate in Wreaths Across America for the 11th consecutive year, helping ensure the delivery of hundreds of thousands of wreaths to national cemeteries throughout the country to remember fallen veterans during the holiday season.
