About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

That’s the number of times Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, low-maintenance composite decking and railing, has topped the rankings in BUILDER magazine’s annual Brand Use Study. In addition to receiving the highest scores for brand awareness among the 23 brands included in the study, Trex® emerged as the #1 brand used most by Pro Builders and Pro Remodel Contractors in both the Composite/PVC Decking and Deck Railings categories of this year’s study. But that’s not all.

New for 2024, Zonda Media, which publishes BUILDER, along with other leading trade publications including Architect and Journal of Light Construction (JLC), also queried architects and remodelers as part of its survey, which measures the attitudes of industry professionals towards the products they recognize, use and trust. Across all three titles, readers ranked Trex as their preferred brand for composite decking and railing.

“We look forward to the results of this study each year and are extremely pleased to know that our decking and railing innovations continue to be valued by trade professionals and specifiers,” said Leslie Adkins, group vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex. “Making it easier for architects, contractors and homeowners to create stylish, comfortable outdoor spaces motivates and drives us every day. We are honored to consistently earn this recognition year after year and are committed to extending our legacy by continuing to deliver on our brand promise of performance, innovation and aesthetics.”

Among the factors influencing brand selection in the study were product performance, warranty, availability, ease of installation, price, reputation, manufacturer/dealer relationships and sustainability. Trex earned a Brand Power Rating of 1904 among professional builders and 1552 among remodel contractors. The next closest competitor earned scores of 684 and 830, respectively, followed by scores below 88 for all other brands.

As noted in the Zonda Brand Usage Study report, “Driven by high, equivalent strength amongst Pro Builders and Pro Remodel Contractors, Trex has the top Brand Power Score and then category competition drops rapidly. Trex brand stickiness is much higher than any other brand with differentiation buoyed by its superior brand commitment.”

The Best of “The Best…”

Architects and builders aren’t the only ones raving about Trex products. In 2024, Trex has also topped “Best of” lists published by three prominent home and lifestyle media outlets, including BobVila.com, Good Housekeeping and Veranda magazine:

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the opinions of trade professionals and industry insiders who not only use our products but who influence the decisions of others,” noted Adkins. “We value the trust and confidence these experts have in our products, and we are extremely proud to be their preferred brand.”
