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.

Other World Computing and Hedge Deepen Partnership with OWC Innergize Integration into Hedge OffShoot

New Offering to be Showcased During this Week’s IBC2025, in OWC’s Booth: Hall 7, Booth 7.A60

Other World Computing (OWC®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced an expanded partnership with Hedge. OWC’s Innergize™ software is now integrated into Hedge’s flagship media management and backup application, OffShoot, delivering creative professionals faster, safer, and more reliable workflows.

OffShoot is widely recognized as the industry standard for media offloading and backup. Built for macOS, it enables users to create multiple verified copies and archives from cards, drives, and other media simultaneously, with checksum verification to ensure absolute data integrity. With this integration, OffShoot users can now also take advantage of OWC Innergize’s unique ability to monitor card health, perform field firmware upgrades, and sanitize OWC Atlas memory cards for peak performance.

“Creative pros do their best work when their technology performs flawlessly,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of Other World Computing (OWC). “OWC Atlas Memory Cards and Readers already deliver unmatched reliability and performance. By combining that with the industry-leading speed of Hedge OffShoot and the proactive health and performance tools of OWC Innergize, we give filmmakers, photographers, and content creators complete confidence that their footage is safe and their media is always ready for the next project.”

"Just like with any gear, people take great care of their camera cards,” said Paul Matthijs, CEO and Co-Founder, Hedge. “Now that OWC's Innergize technology is fully integrated with OffShoot, creators can do their health checks and maintenance right when they need it the most - when creating their backups.”

Integration Details:

OWC Innergize: Ensures OWC Atlas memory cards always deliver maximum performance and reliability with three key functions:

  • Health Check – view a verified report of remaining flash lifespan
  • Field Upgrade – keep firmware up to date for the latest speed and compatibility
  • Sanitize – fully clear hidden data to prevent frame drops during video or burst capture.

Hedge OffShoot: Accelerates offloading and backup with advanced features:

  • Fastest possible transfers - with checksum verification
  • Filter, rename, and sort footage - during ingest
  • Seamless support - for OWC Atlas cards and OWC readers

Together, the integration makes OffShoot not only one of the fastest ways to back up media, but also the most reliable, ensuring camera cards remain healthy and workflows stay uninterrupted.

The OWC Innergize and Hedge OffShoot integration will be showcased during this week’s IBC2025, in the OWC Booth: Hall 7, Booth 7.A60 (RAI Amsterdam, September 12-15) and the Hedge Booth: Hall 7 — 7.A32.
