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.

Divert, Inc. Expands Organics Recycling Program to All Fred Meyer Stores

By: via Business Wire

Collaboration accelerates the impact of wasted food prevention and food recovery efforts across the Pacific Northwest

Divert, Inc., a circular economy company on a mission to prevent food from being wasted, and Fred Meyer Stores, a subsidiary of The Kroger Co., today announced the expansion of their organics recycling program to support the entire Fred Meyer store footprint across the Pacific Northwest.

“Fred Meyer and Kroger have been valued customers of Divert for many years, and we are proud to expand our collaboration to further advance the impact of our food diversion and recovery efforts,” said Ben Kuethe Oaks, VP and GM, Retail, Divert. “With Divert now supporting Fred Meyer across its entire store network, we are bringing increased visibility to each and every store–unlocking new opportunities for waste prevention, food donations, as well as operational efficiencies that drive meaningful cost and time savings.”

Since 2018, Divert and Fred Meyer have worked together to address the wasted food crisis. In 2024 alone, the program prevented more than 5.4 million pounds of unsold food products from reaching the landfill. Now, with Divert's organics recycling program implemented across all 105 Fred Meyer stores in Washington and Oregon, the companies are further accelerating their positive environmental and social impact.

The program utilizes Divert’s proprietary process to more efficiently prevent unsold food from going to the landfill, while keeping microplastics out of our soil. The process improves the employee experience while also creating significant efficiencies and time savings. In addition, Divert collects actionable store-level data from its bins, providing Fred Meyer with increased visibility into opportunities to reduce waste and improve food recovery efforts. With Divert’s valuable data, Fred Meyer is able to identify patterns in unsold inventory, optimize ordering, and also improve donation opportunities to feed more people in need.

“At Fred Meyer, we are committed to sustainability and ending food waste. Our new partnership with Divert is a significant step forward in our journey towards a more sustainable future,” said Todd Kammeyer, President of Fred Meyer. “By integrating Divert's cutting-edge food recycling technology into our stores, we are making it easier to reduce waste in our stores.”
