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.

Sensormatic Solutions and Indyme Partner to Enhance Loss Prevention Solutions at NRF 2025

  • Retail technology brand adds Indyme’s Freedom Cases, Smart Dome and SmartResponse Customer Assist Buttons to portfolio of Loss Prevention solutions

Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), will now offer select Indyme Solutions (Indyme) merchandise protection products in its loss prevention portfolio of solutions. This new strategic collaboration will bring together two of the industry’s most recognizable leaders in customer engagement and shrink management. These solutions will be on display at NRF 2025 Retail’s Big Show.

These new offerings will include Indyme’s breakthrough self-service locking Freedom Case™. This disruptive technology helps protect merchandise from offenders while creating a frictionless shopping experience for legitimate shoppers. This and other store operations-focused solutions from Indyme will enable Sensormatic to solve an even broader range of challenges faced by our retail partners.

“We’ve long been committed to the idea that collaboration — with both retailers and other technology companies — breeds innovation,” said Tony D’Onofrio, president of Sensormatic Solutions. “Strategic collaborations like this one are the secret to Sensormatic Solutions longevity and continued leadership in developing RFID, computer vision and analytics applications that redefine retail. Pairing Indyme’s solutions with our loss prevention suite and services will help retailers adapt to changing expectations and meet customers where they are without sacrificing security or compromising the shopping experience.”

Through the collaboration, Sensormatic Solutions retail partners will be able to purchase select Indyme products — as well as get access to the company’s cloud-based offering — directly from their Sensormatic Solutions sales teams. Indyme’s SmartResponse™, Freedom Case and SmartDome™ can be easily integrated into Sensormatic Solutions customers’ existing communications infrastructure to help businesses:

  • Respond to shopper needs faster. All three solutions are designed to ensure shoppers get help when and where they need it, reducing lost sales and improving loyalty.
  • Improve loss prevention programs. Freedom Cases help protect high-risk items without deterring purchases while the SmartDomes alert associates to suspicious activity in real time. Furthermore, the data from all solutions enables better loss prevention strategies, highlighting areas of opportunity that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
  • Refine labor allocation. Indyme’s customer assistance buttons and SmartDomes help ensure associates are always where they need to be, while Freedom Cases Value-Exchange-based solutions allow employees to focus on providing merchandise insight and support rather than unlocking cases.

“Sensormatic Solutions and Indyme both recognize the important role proactive monitoring and response will play as retailers strive to meet the expectations of today’s customers,” said Philip Joosten, vice president of sales and customer care at Indyme Solutions. “The collaboration brings together our SmartResponse and Value Exchange technology solution suite and Sensormatic Solutions trusted retail leadership to ensure retailers have a clear picture of what’s happening on and off the floor and can communicate necessary next steps to employees in real-time so in-store experiences meet shopper expectations.”

Those attending NRF’s Big Show can get a closer look at Indyme’s Freedom Case and a selection of Sensormatic Solutions retail technologies at Booth #3523, Jan. 12-14, at the Javits Center in New York City.
