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.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that LPL Financial has expanded its use of Amazon Business, the company’s online business-to-business store, to its financial advisors nationwide for their key business purchasing needs. LPL Financial is a leading wealth management firm in the U.S., supporting over 29,000 financial advisors and the wealth management practices of approximately 1,200 financial institutions.

Amazon Business makes business purchasing simpler by offering the same easy-to-use experience customers know and love from Amazon. Since launching in the U.S. in 2015, Amazon Business has empowered organizations of all sizes through vast selection, competitive pricing, and a convenient shopping experience. Amazon Business drives over $35 billion in annualized gross sales, and has more than eight million customers worldwide, including 97 of the Fortune 100, 66 of the FTSE 100, and 38 of the DAX-40 companies.

With Amazon Business, LPL Financial now has a single business purchasing solution for their advisor offices across the country.

Whether it's a small startup looking to streamline its purchasing process or a large organization seeking to optimize its global supply chain, Amazon Business offers scalable solutions that can be tailored to meet specific business requirements.

The Familiar Amazon Shopping Experience

Amazon Business tailors the best of Amazon to meet business customers' needs. It helps organizations streamline purchasing with access to hundreds of millions of products, competitive business-only pricing, and fast, flexible, reliable delivery.

Amazon Business also offers organization-ready features that deliver immediate operational value, like multi-user accounts, custom approval workflows, tax-exempt purchasing, and consolidated invoicing. Its ability to simplify receiving operations by consolidating shipments reduces interruptions and creates more predictable inventory management.

“Financial services firms like LPL Financial run on precision and trust — and their procurement operations should too. Amazon Business delivers a streamlined experience that empowers advisor offices to get what they need, when they need it, all through a familiar and scalable product,” said Brenda Spoonemore, Vice President at Amazon Business.

Unique Value Meets Global Scale

Amazon Business delivers unique value through a combination of innovation, global reach, and customer obsession that's unmatched in business procurement. The product isn't just adapting consumer solutions for business needs—it’s fundamentally reimagining business purchasing for the digital age. For large companies like LPL Financial, this means accessing a vast selection of suppliers through a single, streamlined interface that maintains necessary oversight. This technology provides tools that enable large organizations to maintain control and visibility across their procurement processes, even as their workforce rapidly expands and diversifies.

The Business Prime membership enhances this value proposition by offering organizations access to fast, free shipping on millions of items, along with powerful analytics and spending controls that optimize the management of decentralized purchasing.

Innovation-Driven Solutions

Amazon Business also leverages cutting-edge technology to transform business buying from a routine administrative task into a strategic advantage.

This isn't about incremental improvements – it's about fundamentally transforming how businesses buy, leveraging cutting-edge technology to make procurement simpler, smarter, and more efficient.
