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.

Frankenmuth Insurance (Frankenmuth), a super-regional property and casualty (P&C) insurer, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Frankenmuth selected Guidewire InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud to power its core systems and simplify its IT operations.

By operating InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud, we will be able to shift system maintenance to Guidewire, so we can stay current on the latest innovations and enable our IT staff to focus on tasks that deliver value to our business.”

Williams added, “We are also excited about using Guidewire Advanced Product Designer and Guidewire Jutro Digital Platform to develop and deliver new capabilities quickly to our agents and policyholders, as well as integrating the third-party, best-in-class insurtechs that comprise the Guidewire Marketplace and PartnerConnect ecosystem to enhance our service offerings. Our actuaries and data scientists will continue to utilize Guidewire Predict and other Guidewire Analytics products to embed powerful analytics within our processes.”

“We are excited to once again partner with Frankenmuth Insurance as they advance to the next phase of their transformation journey through the implementation of InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud,” said PwC Global and U.S. Guidewire Alliance Leader Imran Ilyas. “In today's fast-paced environment, embracing cloud technology is an essential, strategic move that will enable Frankenmuth to enhance its agility and scalability, while focusing on delivering innovative solutions and superior service to their customers. As a trusted partner, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional expertise and support to ensure Frankenmuth maximizes the benefits of this strategic transition.”
