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.

Belden Names Three Finalists for the Joseph C. Belden Innovation Award

The winner of the 2nd annual award will be announced on June 17

Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global provider of complete connection solutions is pleased to announce that three companies have been selected as finalists for the 2nd annual Joseph C. Belden Innovation Award.

The three finalists were selected from a highly competitive field of submissions by a panel of industry expert judges. Entries were evaluated on such criteria as level of innovation, business value and sustainability (environmental, social or governance) impact. Fellow innovators and thought leaders will explore the disruptive trends that are shaping the industry while honoring the 2025 Joseph C. Belden Innovation Award finalists and winner at the Belden Innovation Summit in June.

The award is named after Belden’s founder, Joseph C. Belden. His innovative spirit and patents helped the company become an early telecommunications leader, laying the foundation for modern-day Belden’s portfolio of network and data solutions. This year’s Joseph C. Belden Innovation Award shines a spotlight on three companies that are powering the future across multiple industries through innovations such as a video-based AI solution to promote workplace safety, a near real-time DDoS protection solution, and an AI-driven industrial assistant that transforms data into actionable intelligence.

The finalists are:

  • HGS CX: The company submitted HGS Video AI. This video AI based workplace safety solution assesses potential safety violations and suspect ergonomic behavior of people-to-people, machine-to-machine and people-to-machine interactions. HGS Video AI is a near real-time early warning system that can help save lives, improve CX and labor sentiment, reduce delivery backlogs, and improve OSHA compliance for a sustainable and seamless workflow.
  • Corero: The company submitted Corero SmartWall ONE™, an always-on 24/7 modular DDoS protection solution platform for on-premises and hybrid cloud DDoS defense. Corero SmartWall ONE automatically mitigates attacks in near real-time and is designed for flexible deployment while being adaptable to any customer’s needs. It can quadruple the performance density and halve the power budget of many deployments, all while taking up the same amount of space or footprint in a data center.
  • InUse: The company submitted iLean, an industrial agentic AI assistant which seamlessly combines IoT, machine learning, and Generative AI to deliver insights, predictive maintenance, and smarter decision-making. Whether operating in manufacturing, OEM, or smart buildings, iLean transforms data into actionable intelligence, reducing downtime, improving eco-efficiency and cutting operational costs.
