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.

BFG Supply Co. Chooses RELEX Solutions to Enhance Demand Forecasting and Operations Planning

BFG Supply Co. adopts advanced supply chain technology to bolster forecasting, inventory management, and customer service

BFG Supply Co., a leading distributor to the green industry, has selected RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, to elevate their demand forecasting capabilities. This selection marks a significant enhancement of BFG Supply's demand forecasting process which will positively impact all of their distribution centers across the United States. Using RELEX is expected to yield more precise demand forecasts, leading to superior customer service and more effective inventory management.

Facing continuous growth, both organically and through acquisitions, BFG Supply Co. recognized the need to leverage cutting-edge demand forecasting technology to maintain their leadership in the highly seasonal green industry. The previous supply chain management methods were becoming insufficient for the evolving demands of their business and customer base.

Chris DeMeester, CIO of BFG Supply, said, "As we expand, it's crucial to have a robust and scalable supply chain platform that aligns with our growth strategy. The RELEX machine-learning forecasting solution stands out for its ease of use, configurability, and transparent output. It's precisely what we need to support our strategic objectives."

Keith Adams, Senior Vice President for North America at RELEX Solutions, commented, "Our experience with the unique demands of the green industry makes us a perfect fit for BFG Supply Co., a company with over half a century of expertise in gardening and plant life. They required a solution that is more than a 'Black Box' – something they can understand, work with, and trust. We are thrilled to provide them with such a solution."

BFG Supply is working with RetSci to implement the RELEX forecasting solution. RetSci's expertise in forecasting and proven record of using hybrid delivery methodologies with a wide array of customers will allow BFG Supply to achieve their ROI extremely quickly.

“RetSci brings deep experience with demand planning and data science to every engagement. Combining that expertise with RELEX has become a powerful growth tool for retailers and wholesalers alike. We look forward to seeing the forecast accuracy and process improvements help BFG optimize their inventory and meet customers' needs very soon,” said Bill Zacher, COO of RetSci.
