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.

United Rentals Expands Digital Platform with Smart Suggestions and Equipment Fit Augmented Reality Capabilities

New features simplify equipment rental decisions and boost jobsite productivity

United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the world’s largest equipment rental company, today announced the launch of two new features in its suite of digital tools: Smart Suggestions and Equipment Fit Augmented Reality (AR). These enhancements help customers make faster, more confident rental decisions by anticipating needs and providing greater jobsite visibility before placing an order.

Smart Suggestions uses advanced machine learning to recommend equipment based on factors such as customer order history, jobsite data, seasonality and industry trends. The tool predicts what customers are most likely to need next, helping them bypass a full catalog search and move quickly to the right rental option. Early results show a 27% reduction in the time it takes users to identify and order the equipment they need.

Equipment Fit AR gives customers the ability to virtually place 3D models of equipment on their jobsite using a mobile device. This feature makes it easier to evaluate equipment dimensions, confirm proper fit, and plan for placement in tight or restricted-access areas. Equipment Fit AR is currently available for select equipment categories, with additional offerings under development.

Both tools are designed to simplify the rental experience and improve productivity. United Rentals developed them using direct feedback from contractors and operations teams across North America.

“Smart Suggestions and Equipment Fit AR are about anticipating customer needs,” explained Paul Maddison, Director of Product Management at United Rentals. “By leveraging machine learning and augmented reality, we’re giving customers tools that help them make confident, informed decisions at the moment of rental. It’s about delivering the right equipment at the right time, with less friction.”

These innovations build on United Rentals’ expanding portfolio of digital capabilities, which enable customers to browse, reserve, and manage equipment rentals seamlessly from any device. From visualization to smarter checkout, the company continues to enhance its digital platform to meet customers wherever they work.
