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.

ISN® Releases State of Contractor Management Strategy White Paper Revealing Opportunities to Address Safety Culture Gaps Amid Increased Reliance on Outsourced Work

By: via Business Wire

Survey responses suggest need for stronger safety cultures, improved communication, and technology adoption

ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, released its latest State of Contractor Management Strategy White Paper, based on survey responses from nearly 500 leaders across various industries and geographies. ISN’s findings provide actionable insights to organizations as they navigate gaps in communication and emerging opportunities to leverage technology for improving workplace safety practices.

ISN’s survey found 96% of Hiring Organizations anticipate outsourced work will increase (42%) or stay the same (54%) over the next two years. This shift to increased reliance on outsourced work has proven necessary for labor-intensive industries, where agility is key to sustaining operations. However, working with more contractors increases the importance of consistent safety practices and effective communication to address potential gaps in a Hiring Organization’s safety culture.

“Creating a strong safety culture requires proactive leadership, consistent processes for verifying worker competency, and fostering open dialogue between contractors and Hiring Organizations,” said Kim Holly, Chief Business Development Officer at ISN. “Through this year’s State of Contractor Management Strategy White Paper, ISN is proud to equip Hiring Organizations with data-driven insights and steps to effectively mitigate risk and improve safety culture, which will ultimately help reduce the risk of on-the-job accidents.”

Highlights from ISN’s State of Contractor Management Strategy White Paper include:

  1. Safety Culture Assessment Opportunities: Within the next 12 months, 63% of Hiring Organizations plan to complete a safety culture assessment.
  2. Workforce Empowerment Gaps: More than 25% of Hiring Organizations lack confidence their workforces feel empowered to speak up about work-related issues and concerns.
  3. Psychological Safety Challenges: Workers’ fear of mistakes being held against them was identified as a top challenge by 81% of Hiring Organizations, prompting 40% to implement Human & Organizational Performance (HOP) principles to help foster a sense of psychological safety in the workplace.

“Placing a focus on closing communication gaps, assessing safety culture, and fostering a physically and psychologically safe workplace can create a space where both employees and contractors feel empowered to learn, voice concerns, and perform their jobs safely,” said Brian Callahan, Chief Executive Officer and President at ISN. “Prioritizing frameworks and philosophies such as energy-based safety, systems thinking, and HOP will not only help reduce risk but also create a more resilient and productive work environment where the likelihood of incurring a serious injury is minimized.”
