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.

Allstate Customers Using Safe Driving App Have 25% Fewer Severe Collisions

Research reveals Drivewise® customers are safer on the road than other drivers.

Allstate customers have a choice to opt into the Allstate app’s safe driving features and those who do are safer on the road, according to Allstate and its mobility data and analytics partner Arity.

Allstate found customers who choose to use Drivewise are 25% less likely to have a severe collision than those who don’t.1 Driving behavior research from Arity also reveals that Drivewise customers handle their phones less, speed less and hard brake less on average than other connected drivers by as much as 44%.2 Drivewise is an optional usage-based insurance feature that customers can sign up for through the Allstate app to get safe driving feedback after each trip and help save money on their policy.

Among the 100 most populous urban areas in the U.S., average Drivewise customers compared to other connected drivers:

  • Handle their phones 44% less while driving.
  • Spend 23% less of their driving distance traveling at high speed.
  • Have an 11% lower rate of hard braking.

“We offer customers the choice to pay a rate based on their driving,” said Ginger Purgatorio, executive vice president at Allstate. “We find that when customers choose to use Drivewise on their Allstate mobile app, they tend to drive safer. And those who drive safer not only get in fewer accidents, but also can save money on their auto insurance.”

Severe accidents signal need for safer driving

Leading safety advocates show motor vehicle fatalities in the United States remain at a devastatingly high level, increasing 13.6% in 2023 compared to pre-pandemic 2019. Speeding, distracted and impaired driving contribute to tens of thousands of lives lost in preventable crashes on U.S. roads each year, including the nearly 45,000 people who died in crashes in 2023.

Drivewise evaluates and helps educate on driving behaviors that can contribute to these issues, including speed, braking and how often customers use their phone while behind the wheel. Additional features like crash detection services can quickly connect customers with help when they’re in an accident. More information about Drivewise can be found at Allstate.com/Drivewise.

Where are the safest drivers?

More of these findings will be revealed alongside the upcoming 16th Allstate America's Best Drivers Report®, which will include a ranking of the top 100 U.S. urban areas by driving behavior, such as phone handling, high-speed driving and hard braking.

Methodology

1Allstate data comparing accidents of Drivewise customers against non-Drivewise customers where bodily injury claims costs exceed $100,000.

2Arity data comparing driving behavior of Drivewise customers against Arity’s approximately 40 million connections of other drivers. Drivewise customers make up about 5% of Arity’s total active connections. For this analysis, phone handling is calculated when a customer’s smartphone is in use while a trip is in progress; High-speed driving is calculated when a customer drives over 80 mph; Hard braking is calculated when a customer decelerates more than 7 mph in one second. Data is based on the location of a trip and not the zip code of a customer or their vehicle. Drivewise Mobile savings are not available in California and Alaska. This report is produced solely to boost the country's discussion about safe driving and to increase awareness of the importance usage-based insurance programs like Drivewise play in being safe and attentive behind the wheel. The research is not used to determine auto insurance rates.
