About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Homes.com Super Bowl LIX Ads Confidently Proclaim the Company’s Belief: Homes.com is the Best

Homes.com Network’s massive January audience of 114 million unique visitors is comparable to Super Bowl LVIII’s audience

Homes.com – a CoStar Group leading online residential marketplace – returns to the big game with two 30-second spots: “Not Saying We’re the Best” during the first quarter and “Still Not Saying We’re the Best” during the third quarter. These spots, directed by Taika Waititi and brand spokesperson and actor Dan Levy, alongside co-star Heidi Gardner and a special cameo by the legendary Morgan Freeman, irreverently proclaim the company’s belief: Homes.com is the best.

The new commercials feature Levy, as head of Homes.com, and Gardner, his top executive, doing their best to convince their corporate lawyer to let them say what is plainly true: Homes.com is the best home-shopping site. As any good corporate lawyer would, he continues to object to making such a bold claim in an advertisement, while they offer increasingly creative ways to restate their claim. The story continues and escalates across the two 30-second spots during the game. Ultimately Morgan Freeman delivers a powerful testament in a way only Morgan Freeman can.

Last year, during Super Bowl LVIII, CoStar Group launched the largest real estate marketing campaign in history with a $1 billion initiative to introduce Homes.com. Within just one year, our campaign has driven 110 million average monthly unique visitors to the Homes.com Network for the last fiscal quarter according to Google Analytics - an audience comparable to the Super Bowl's viewership, and nearly double that of Realtor.com’s 62 million average monthly unique visitors for the last fiscal quarter, according to its publicly reported internal data. Homes.com’s consumer brand awareness skyrocketed, jumping from 4% to 33%.

Homes.com is the first major U.S. real estate portal to focus first on helping homeowners and their agents leverage the marketing power of the internet to bring more potential buyers to their listings. Other major real estate websites divert the leads from home sellers’ MLS listings to sell them to unrelated agents who may use them to sell competing properties. On average, Homes.com’s Members are winning 58% more listings because they offer the home sellers a real estate portal that works for them not against them.

Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group, said, “We believe that it is obvious that Homes.com is the best home shopping website anywhere, but our lawyers told us while it may be true, we cannot legally say that in an ad. So we turned to the very best talent in RPA, Taika Waititi, Dan Levy, Heidi Gardner, and Morgan Freeman to not tell the world that Homes.com is the best. When Morgan Freeman says so who can say it is not so?”

Florance added, “We believe that Homes.com offers home shoppers the most content on an attractive spam free site. 100% of home shoppers use the internet to look for their next home purchase and we believe that Homes.com is the best place to successfully market a home for sale. We suspect that home sellers would be outraged if they knew that other real estate portals use their listings as bait to generate leads for potentially competing agents and competing homes for sale. That is why we put the home sellers first with our 'Your Listing Your Lead' principal.”

In the weeks and months following the Super Bowl, Homes.com will sustain awareness and engagement in a significant way across TV, streaming video, digital, social, and audio in almost all major outlets. Viewers across the U.S. are learning about Homes.com, and quickly adopting the platform as the best home search, buying and selling solution.
