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.

US Foods Spring 2025 Scoop

US Foods Spring 2025 Scoop

“We are thrilled to announce that the annual sales of products launched in Scoopsurpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time in 2024,” said Stacey Kinkaid, vice president of product development and innovation at US Foods. “At US Foods we are committed to bringing our operators more high-quality, innovative products that will enable them to create memorable, differentiated and profitable menu offerings. In this Spring Scoop™ line-up we’re excited to highlight a variety of inventive and authentic flavors along with behind-the-scenes insights into the inspiration and process that our product development experts used to create the products.”

Highlights from Spring 2025 Scoop include an authentic beef birria, a non-dairy butter and a Basque cheesecake, all products that are rapidly gaining traction on menus.

Birria, a traditional Mexican beef dish, has already seen 19% growth over the last 12 months and is projected to grow by 114% over the next four years1. US Foods is responding to this demand by introducing Chef’s Line® All Natural2 Beef Birria, a versatile, labor-saving product infused with a smoky guajillo pepper flavor. To create an authentic flavor profile, US Foods product developers sampled birria everywhere from food trucks to local taquerias. The result is a USDA Choice beef chuck in a rich blend of chilies, spices and orange juice that is highly versatile across a variety of Latin-inspired dishes. The product offers a clean ingredient label that has no ingredients found on the US Foods Unpronounceables List®3 and comes fully cooked to save the operator 60 minutes of labor per case versus making from scratch, making it easier to expand menus without adding kitchen staff.

To drive consistent value that helps operators save on food costs, Glenview Farms® Unsalted Non-dairy Butter fulfills operator needs by providing a plant-based4, vegan5 option that challenges the perception of what a non-dairy butter looks, feels and tastes like and can be used as a one-to-one substitute for dairy-based butter. With demand for plant-forward products projected to rise by over 55% over the next four years1, this non-dairy butter was developed through rigorous taste and application-based testing by culinary experts with decades of experience. From baking to frying, the product delivers the perfect balance of the right taste and ideal texture across applications. This butter is Non-GMO Project certified and is part of the responsibly sourced US Foods Serve Good® portfolio of private label products, which also achieved record-breaking sales, surpassing $1 billion in 2024 for the first time.

Basque cheesecake is projected to grow 183% on U.S. menus over the next four years1, presenting a prime opportunity for operators to marry global flavors with a beloved dessert on their menus. US Foods product developers crafted the Chef’s Line® Basque Cheesecake to deliver a consistent experience every time with a signature rich, soft and creamy texture that is a trademark of this sublime dessert originally from Spain’s Basque region. With ingredients such as cream cheese, whipping cream, sugar and eggs, the cheesecake offers a clean ingredient label that has no ingredients found on the US Foods Unpronounceables List®3 and will save the operator 60 minutes of labor per case versus making the items from scratch.
