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.

EDO names top creatives across 15 categories, as measured by the TV outcomes that are most predictive of future sales.

As media fragmentation grows and performance pressure intensifies, the most effective marketers are turning to outcome-based insights to inform their strategies. With every media dollar under greater scrutiny, EDO delivers the immediate signals brands need to make smarter creative and media decisions while campaigns are still live.

Each ad in EDO’s rankings outperformed its industry peers in driving immediate consumer response — behaviors that are proven to predict future sales. Marketers can look to these standouts for creative inspiration, performance benchmarks, and new ways to activate audiences across Convergent TV.

“Some of the biggest creative wins this year came from brands willing to meet the moment — whether it was Red Lobster rebuilding after bankruptcy, Cadillac stepping into the luxury EV space, or Taco Bell entering QSR’s crispy chicken wars,” said Laura Grover, SVP, Head of Client Solutions, EDO. “These campaigns took different paths and strategies, but all drove measurable consumer engagement that signals intent and powers future business growth.”

Here are some of the top trends from EDO’s list. For a deeper dive into all 15 categories — including Alcohol, Breakfast, Credit Cards, Cruises, Insurance, OTC Pain Relief, Snacks, and Travel — visit edo.com/topads.

  • Apparel: Levi’s reached No. 1 featuring Beyoncé, while Mott & Bow, New Balance, Vuori, and Tecovas each landed two ads in the top 10.
  • Automotive: In the Luxury Automotive category, Cadillac’s 2025 Escalade IQ ranked No. 1, with Acura and Lexus also showing a strong presence. Among Non-Luxury advertisers, GMC led with the Hummer EV and its Crabwalk feature, while Toyota and Ford secured multiple top ads, including NFL-backed campaigns.
  • CPG Beauty: Dove led with uplifting ads focused on confidence and self-care, followed by Gold Bond, Neutrogena, No7, and Lancôme with celebrity-backed campaigns.
  • Diabetes & Weight Management: Noom claimed eight of the top 10 spots promoting GLP-1 drugs and health advice, with Hims’ GLP-1-focused ad outperforming the category by 522%.
  • Restaurants: In Casual Dining, Red Lobster landed five of the top creatives, boosted by NBA vet Blake Griffin and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, alongside Applebee’s, Outback Steakhouse, and Buffalo Wild Wings, focusing on meals under $20. Meanwhile, in the QSR category, Taco Bell dominated with top ads spotlighting its Luxe Cravings Box and the debut of its crispy chicken, while Long John Silver’s and McDonald’s also engaged with value and pop culture themes.

“Great creatives drive real business outcomes by inspiring viewers to take action,” continued Grover. “This year’s top ads used bold visuals, humor, music, and culturally resonant moments to spark meaningful response.”
