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.

Alain Afflelou Relies on Informatica to Improve and Ensure Data Trust Across Global Franchises

Afflelou Leverages the Company’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud™ Platform to Make Business-Critical Decisions

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced that Alain Afflelou, a top global franchise provider for optical and auditory solutions, is using Informatica’s AI-powered Intelligent Data Management Cloud™ (IDMC) platform to govern the data collected from its franchisees in 19 countries to make business-critical decisions.

Alain Afflelou was founded in France in 1972. Today, the company has grown to more than 1,400 independently-owned franchise stores throughout the world offering vision and hearing health solutions. Afflelou’s primary customers are their franchisees—who are autonomous merchants—meaning data definitions, organisation, types and formats varied significantly across geographies, making the governance of data a significant challenge. Afflelou turned to Informatica to develop a global, cloud-based data management solution that has robust data governance capabilities to ensure data quality and confidentiality.

“Data is one of the assets that can make a difference in the franchise business. As we need to rely on it to make important decisions, it’s crucial to build trust in it and to give access to it. It helps us to provide services that guide our partners on their operational efficiency on a daily basis,” said Jean-Christophe Leboucher, Chief Data Officer at Alain Afflelou. “We needed a data management platform that could govern, ensure quality and share the data collected across the globe to create a trusted foundation for all our strategic, compliance and reporting needs. The Informatica IDMC platform makes our data fit for business use today, and can grow with us in the future.”

“Alain Afflelou is a fantastic example of what is possible when a company commits to making a digital transformation and the increased value that can be gleaned from a modern cloud data management platform,” said Emilio Valdés, Senior VP, EMEA and LATAM Sales at Informatica. “Holistic, trusted, governed and shared data can bring significant benefits to any business, but Afflelou proves this impact at scale, across thousands of locations.”
