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 and Affinity Solutions Find Creative Quality Triples In-Store Sales Impact Versus Frequency for QSRs

By: via Business Wire

New research combines EDO’s TV outcomes data and Affinity’s Fansactions™ to reveal that creative quality, strategic sports buys, and DMA optimization drive higher QSR TV ROI

EDO, the TV outcomes company, and Affinity Solutions, the leading consumer purchase insights company, have released an analysis exploring the real-world sales impact of TV advertising for Quick-Service Restaurant (QSR) brands – challenging assumptions about media weight and the role of live sports in the media mix.

The report finds that creative quality has three times the impact on in-store sales as ad frequency, and nearly eight times the impact on online conversions. Limited Time Offers (LTOs), meanwhile, drive 15 times stronger performance online than in-store, highlighting the importance of tailoring creative strategy to the intended outcome.

Powered by Affinity Solutions’ Fansactions™, the research links 126 million linear TV ad airings to 86 billion consumer transactions, uncovering how creative quality, geographic targeting, and strategic live sports placements can measurably increase QSR advertisers’ return on investment.

“QSR brands spend millions on TV, yet often lack visibility into what actually drives customer action,” said Laura Grover, SVP, Head of Client Solutions at EDO. “This research brings much-needed clarity to the category, showing that measurable outcomes — not just reach or frequency — should guide media planning, creative strategy, and effective DMA targeting.”

When it comes to live sports, the research encourages advertisers to focus on efficiency, maintain CPM discipline, and consider underutilized sports placements that may deliver a stronger ROI.

“QSR marketers often invest broadly in live sports, but our analysis with EDO shows the benefits of a discriminating approach to these premium media environments,” added Damian Garbaccio, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Affinity Solutions. “With Fansactions™, brands now have real-time insight into how their media investments drive transactions, enabling them to better understand how they can best optimize live sports and other premium TV investments.”

The research provides a clear roadmap for QSR advertisers aiming to boost campaign performance and outpace competitors. Access the complete study: How QSRs Can Boost TV Ad ROI with Live Sports & DMA Strategies.
