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.

Using AI to simplify integrating SaaS tools and platform technology into Xvantage, Ingram Micro is driving faster decision-making and revenues, while enabling more secure modern workflows

Ingram Micro (NYSE: INGM), a business-to-business (B2B) platform company for the global technology ecosystem, is simplifying the technology industry’s capabilities to innovate and more securely integrate at scale faster with the global launch of its AI-powered Xvantage Integrations Hub.

Readily available in nine countries where Xvantage is deployed, Ingram Micro’s Xvantage Integrations Hub offers customers and vendors a frictionless experience, dramatically simplifying software integrations by enabling instant access to prebuilt applications and more secure modern workflows.

With the new Xvantage Integrations Hub, integrations that could have taken months can now be completed in seconds or minutes, helping customers and vendors significantly speed their transformations.

Engineered in-house by Ingram Micro’s global platform group, the new Xvantage Integrations Hub uses the power of AI models to integrate instantly and securely with existing SaaS Platforms—including CRM, ERP, RMM, and CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote). This effort speeds up time to value and helps eliminate the need for costly custom software development. The Xvantage Integrations Hub also helps reduce manual workloads, empowering partners to scale efficiently and apply their talent to more valuable business and service lines.

"The Integrations Hub is modern, intuitive, and incredibly easy to navigate,” said Brayton Taylor, Owner, Taylor Tech LLC. “We were amazed at how quickly we installed an app—what normally takes months, we completed in minutes. The seamless experience and effortless setup make this a game-changer for integrations."
