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.

By: via Business Wire

RELEX recognized for strengths including sophisticated scenario planning including end-to-end planning, unbiased view of incremental metrics that reflect field conditions and retail expertise and consultative services

RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, today announced it has been recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail Promotions Management 2024-2025 Vendor Assessment report (1). The IDC MarketScape report is an assessment that evaluates companies relatively using a set of fixed criteria across solution capabilities and strategic objectives.

IDC defines Retail Promotions Management tools as a subset of price optimization focusing specifically on managing, planning, and optimizing promotions, offers, discounts, and campaigns within existing operational constraints such as inventory availability, price considerations, and planning. RELEX was named as a Leader for strengths including sophisticated scenario planning including end-to-end planning, unbiased view of incremental metrics that reflect field conditions and retail expertise and consultative services.

According to the report, RELEX should be considered when, “retailers are seeking higher accuracy and faster go-to-market for their promotion optimization once their data set is in place.” And when, “Retailers seek some operational support and constructive feedback through consultative operations for their promotion optimization solution.” (1)

“RELEX has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in retail promotions management with an end-to-end approach, including sophisticated scenario planning and metrics that reflect real-world conditions,” said Ananda Chakravarty, Research Vice President, Retail Merchandising and Marketing Analytics Strategies, IDC. “Smart retailers will consider RELEX when they are seeking a partner with deep retail expertise as well as operational support and consultative feedback.”

The RELEX promotions management capabilities uniquely unify pricing and promotions within a single platform. This integration allows retailers to make informed decisions, streamline workflows, and improve collaboration across teams. Unlike vendors with fragmented systems, RELEX provides a holistic view of promotional activities, enabling accurate forecasting and optimal promotional performance.

“We’re proud to be recognized as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape report,” said Mikko Kärkkäinen, co-founder and group CEO of RELEX Solutions. “We believe this distinction underscores the power of our unique approach to promotions management, which seamlessly integrates with supply chain capabilities and base pricing. By offering sophisticated tools that optimize both sales and profitability, we’re helping retailers reduce manual work, sharpen their competitive edge, and drive measurable growth—all from one unified platform.”
