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.

DAT adds John Xiao, Catherine Schulz to technology leadership team

DAT Freight & Analytics today announced two new members of its technology leadership team: John Xiao has been named Vice President, Data Engineering, and Catherine Schulz has joined the organization as Senior Director, Platform and DevOps.

“John and Catherine bring extensive technical and management experience as well as new energy to our software and data engineering teams,” said Brian Gill, Chief Product & Technology Officer. “They understand our commitment to experimentation, teamwork, speed, quality, and the role that data and technology play in DAT’s customer experience.”

As Vice President of Data Engineering, Xiao will oversee DAT’s enterprise data platform, machine learning platform, and analytics services. Xiao joins DAT from Nordstrom, where he was Senior Vice President responsible for technology in merchandising, supply chain, and enterprise inventory management. His work included leveraging ML/AI to help internal merchants and external partners automate and optimize product selection, inventory allocation, and dynamic pricing decisions.

DAT’s new Senior Director, Platform and DevOps, Schulz, brings over 10 years of experience managing production engineering, site reliability engineering (SRE), and DevOps practices across retail, finance, software, and SaaS businesses, most recently at Target. She has a strong background in software development, observability, cloud computing, and data engineering, with expertise in AWS, web apps, CI/CD, and visualization.

DAT operates the DAT One marketplace for spot (non-contract) truckload freight and the DAT iQ freight data analytics platform. Together, they provide freight carriers, brokers, and shippers with the most comprehensive insight into truckload capacity and pricing for truckload services on any given lane at any time of year.

“Given the depth of our data and expertise in ML/AI, DAT is ideally positioned to help supply chain leaders create value for their businesses through software, platforms, and services,” said Gill. “We’re excited to bring John and Catherine’s talent, experience, and leadership to our technology organization.”
