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.

B&B HOTELS Announces Broad Corporate Travel Expansion with Cvent

Rapidly growing value hotel chain adopts Cvent’s business transient solutions across key European markets, enhancing visibility and access for corporate buyers and travel managers

B&B HOTELS, one of Europe’s fastest-growing hotel groups, has significantly expanded its collaboration with Cvent, a market-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider. Building on the successful implementation of Cvent Business Transient (BT) in France, B&B HOTELS will now deploy the solution across its entire European portfolio, streamlining corporate travel sourcing in major markets including Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, France, and the Benelux region.

The expanded agreement positions Cvent’s BT platform as the central hub for managing B&B HOTELS’ corporate travel requests for proposals (RFPs), reinforcing the hotel group’s commitment to supporting business travellers with flexible, cost-effective accommodation options across its robust 900-plus hotel portfolio.

The latest Cvent Corporate Travel Manager Report highlights ongoing cost concerns across the segment, with most companies implementing various cost management strategies to minimize budget impact while prioritizing meetings that drive clear business outcomes. This strategic B&B HOTELS announcement brings substantial benefits to corporate travel buyers, TMCs, and travel consortia who often struggle to access economical hotel inventory at scale. With B&B HOTELS now fully integrated into the Cvent BT ecosystem, organizations can easily discover and invite its properties to participate in corporate RFPs—accelerating the sourcing process, increasing booking opportunities, and empowering buyers to secure competitive rates across a wider network of value-driven accommodations.

"This global agreement with Cvent Transient is a pivotal step in our ambition to become the go-to value hotel brand for businesses of all sizes across Europe", said David Zimmer, Head of Loyalty and B2B at B&B HOTELS. "For corporate clients, this means easier access to our expanding network of modern, comfortable, and conveniently located hotels - now over 1,000, including contracted openings - all while ensuring they receive exceptional value and a productive trip. By leveraging Cvent's extensive RFP Publisher platform, we're not only making it easier for clients to partner with B&B HOTELS but also clearly demonstrating our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the corporate travel sector. We're excited to make it simpler than ever for businesses to discover the smart choice and warm welcome that B&B HOTELS offer, ensuring their travellers enjoy a consistently high-quality and affordable stay."

“We are thrilled to support B&B HOTELS in expanding and elevating their business transient program across Europe,” said Graham Pope, Vice President of International Sales at Cvent. “Their commitment to corporate travel aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify and enhance the sourcing process for buyers and suppliers alike. Given today’s budget-conscious environment, this announcement is a game-changer not only for B&B HOTELS, but for the broader industry as more value-focused hotel brands see the potential of our platform and vast global network to increase their share of corporate travel business.”
