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.

Blue Yonder, Through Its Subsidiary Doddle, Acquires 100% Ownership of Inmar Post-Purchase Solutions

By: via Business Wire

Blue Yonder, the world leader in digital supply chain transformation, announced today that – through its subsidiary Doddle Inc. – it has acquired Inmar Post-Purchase Solutions (IPPS), a joint venture between Doddle, a part of Blue Yonder, and Inmar, Inc. Blue Yonder, through its subsidiary Doddle, has now purchased the remaining 51% of IPPS, adding to the 49% that Doddle previously owned as of March 2022.

Renamed Blue Yonder Reverse Retail Operations LLC, the entity will continue to support FedEx Easy Returns, which offers FedEx customers access to a low-cost, package- and label-free returns solution. FedEx Easy Returns is currently available at approximately 3,000 drop-off locations in the trusted returns network of FedEx Office and Kohl’s stores across the U.S., with plans for swift growth.

The service offered by Blue Yonder Reverse Retail Operations LLC is powered by the Blue Yonder Returns Management solution, which allows consumers to return their items without needing to print labels or have packaging, enhancing the overall convenience of the returns experience. The solution also helps streamline the returns process for retailers. Returns will be routed through a reverse logistics facility for optimal recovery, helping retailers ensure the accuracy and speed of the return, as well as potentially reducing waste.

“According to our Consumer Retail Returns Survey, consumers are more likely to use third-party returns services if they have convenient drop-off locations (60%) and offer faster refund processing (47%), so efficient returns are absolutely critical for improving consumer experiences while optimizing costs for retailers,” said Duncan Angove, CEO, Blue Yonder. “The volume of consumer returns is growing exponentially, but the disparate elements of the reverse logistics process make it hard to keep up. Through the acquisition, we will continue making returns convenient and hassle-free for retailers and consumers.”

The Blue Yonder Returns Management solution provides retailers, consumers and logistics service providers with the following benefits:

  • Superior visibility: Retailers can track their returns across the end-to-end reverse supply chain, enabling them to make smarter inventory decisions.
  • Reduced costs: Rather than shipping individually returned items from each consumer, returns are merged together and returned in bulk, minimizing logistics costs.
  • Improved consumer experience: Thanks to a returns network with thousands of drop-off locations, consumers have more convenience, and with a more connected returns process, they also gain visibility into the return and speed for their refund.
  • Enhanced sustainability: Since returned items are consolidated and shipped together, this minimizes packaging and reduces empty truck miles, helping to improve waste and carbon emissions, respectively.
  • Improved cycle time: By improving the speed at which a return moves from drop-off, through sorting, back to sellable stock, retailers improve item availability and speed up inventory turns.

“The physical movement of returned items is a major supply chain challenge, yet drop-off locations, transport services, downstream processing tasks, and SKU ownership remain siloed,” said Tim Robinson, corporate vice president, Returns, Blue Yonder. “With Blue Yonder Returns Management, retailers can optimize their returns process, enhancing speed, sustainability and cost effectiveness while simplifying the returns process for consumers.”
