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.

Watco Expands Customer Network and Maximizes Freight Capacity With Blue Yonder

By: via Business Wire

Leading logistics service provider accelerates growth by offering real-time pricing and booking capabilities to shippers utilizing Blue Yonder Dynamic Price Discovery

From labor shortages to fluctuating demand to rising costs, the transportation industry has experienced a wide range of challenges and disruptions over the last few years. For shippers, this can result in punitive freight rates for last-minute bookings, while carriers and logistics service providers face higher operating costs and inefficiencies due to excess capacity. That’s what drove Watco, a leading transportation service and logistics company, to collaborate with Blue Yonder to expand its services to shippers using the Blue Yonder Dynamic Price Discovery solution.

Founded in 1983, Watco provides rail, transloading, terminal and port, and logistics services for customers throughout North America and Australia. With Blue Yonder Dynamic Price Discovery, Watco has been offering real-time market rates to mutual customers using Blue Yonder’s transportation management solutions. This has enabled a real-time turnaround of spot quotes with guaranteed capacity to meet and exceed customer requirements.

One such shipper achieving high returns through the collaboration between Watco and Blue Yonder is Bayer CropScience LP. As part of its digital transformation efforts, the global agricultural company deployed Blue Yonder transportation management solutions, including Dynamic Price Discovery. After matching with Watco through the solution, over 80% of its loads that Bayer CropScience has booked with Watco in 2024 went through Blue Yonder Dynamic Price Discovery.

“At Watco, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our shipper customers, and Bayer CropScience is a perfect example of how we are helping them achieve their business objectives,” said Stephanie Mize, branch manager - Logistics, Watco. “Participating in Blue Yonder Dynamic Price Discovery allows us to help shippers, like Bayer CropScience, overcome disruptions and meet growing customer expectations while also enabling our business to increase operational efficiency.”

“By providing real-time visibility and data-driven insights, Dynamic Price Discovery enables shippers, carriers and logistics service providers to benefit from optimal pricing, guaranteed capacity and a streamlined booking process,” said Warren Rojas, corporate vice president, Global Logistics Service Providers, Blue Yonder. “We’re excited to offer this innovative solution to help organizations increase customer service levels and resilience in today’s volatile market.”
