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.

Porch Group’s Home Factors Audience Drives 1,054% ROI for Regional Home Improvement Brand

Porch Group today announced outstanding campaign results from its Home Factors property intelligence platform, which generated a 1,054% return on investment (ROI) for a regional home improvement brand.

Home Factors aims to improve risk segmentation and underwriting precision for insurance carriers, with plans to offer over 100 specific attributes by the end of 2025. These insights enable insurers to achieve a comprehensive understanding of approximately 90% of properties across the United States. Beyond insurance, Home Factors property segments are also leveraged across other verticals to enhance customer acquisition and retention efforts.

What sets Home Factors apart is its unique data on both interior and exterior home conditions. Leveraging advanced AI models, Home Factors analyzes property condition signals—such as windows in need of repair, roof quality, and evidence of water intrusion—to identify homes most likely to require service.

In the campaign, Home Factors was used to identify properties likely in need of exterior upgrades, with a focus on homes showing signs of potential window or roof repair needs. As part of a broader, multi-channel strategy, Home Factors' audience segments significantly outperformed traditional targeting methods, delivering results over 600% higher than standard consumer audience approaches.

These results underscore the power of predictive property condition data in driving more effective, targeted, and cost-efficient marketing strategies.

“This is another clear example of how Porch’s Home Factors can help other companies grow profitably,” said Matt Ehrlichman, Founder and CEO of Porch Group. “By targeting households with indicators of home repair needs, marketers are reaching consumers not just with interest, but with urgency.”

“Our primary focus of helping insurance companies better assess risk is progressing very well, but we are excited about the other use cases and opportunities our unique data presents. This case study validates we can match real property characteristics to real customer demand,” said Michelle Taves, VP and Group GM, Data and Marketing. “We’re helping brands connect with homeowners at exactly the right time—when the need is present and the likelihood to act is highest.”
