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.

Versatile New Products Empower Operators to Boost Profitability with Creative Menu Offerings that Transend Dayparts, While Keeping Food Costs in Check

US Foods Holding Corp. (NYSE: USFD), one of America’s largest foodservice distributors, today announced the launch of Fall 2025 Scoop™, the company’s latest line-up of new, Exclusive Brands products designed to help operators elevate profitability and streamline operations. Today, operators across the industry are facing an ongoing “profitability paradox,” the challenge of expanding menus with profit-boosting, innovative and limited-time offerings, while managing increased food and operational costs. Fall Scoop helps operators tackle this challenge by delivering 18 highly versatile, on-trend products that can be used in a variety of recipes across multiple menu dayparts to help operators grow their menu with fewer SKUs. US Foods’ latest offerings give operators what they need to refresh their menu, cut waste and boost margins.

“The number one strategy operators use to boost profits is adding new and limited-time offerings to the menu, but for the 80% of operators who identify food costs as their biggest operational challenge1 it can be difficult to strike the right balance,” said Stacey Kinkaid, vice president of product development and innovation at US Foods. “Whether it’s a brand-new signature dish, a refreshed favorite, or a customizable add-on, our goal is to help operators do more with less because we understand there is value in the versatility of products that operators can use in many different recipe ideas across the menu.”

Product versatility not only drives menu innovation but creates value for the operator by helping them streamline inventory management needs and manage food costs. While versatility has always been central to Scoop product innovation, Fall Scoop 2025 takes it one step further by delivering various on-trend usage ideas and interactive recipe solutions. These suggestions inspire menu innovation, while helping operators envision product cross-utilization across menu dayparts, recipe ideas, and customer preferences.

Fall 2025 Scoop includes products that save time and labor, transcend dayparts, and are on-trend for operators, chefs and customers alike. Highlights of these versatile profit drivers include:

  • Monarch® Corn Ribs: A transformation of classic corn on the cob into innovative, visually appealing “corn ribs,” made popular on social media. By quartering cobs lengthwise, these pre-cut, individually quick-frozen, unseasoned corn ribs eliminate the labor-intensive and potentially hazardous task of cutting tough, round cobs. Deep-fry to crispy perfection or char on the grill for a smoky finish. Elevate with an endless array of sauces, spice rubs, dips or vibrant garnishes for an appetizer, side dish or base for a lunch or dinner offering.
  • Rykoff Sexton® Diced Dragon Fruit: This tropical ready-to-use product is making a vibrant splash across menus nationwide. Beloved by Gen Z diners for its bold and trendy pink color, the subtly sweet, versatile flavor creates eye-catching breakfast bowls, vivid desserts or striking cocktails and mocktails.
  • Cross Valley Farms® Ribbon Cut Hash Brown Potatoes: These ribbon-cut russet potatoes deliver a back-of-house appearance, while a distinctive size and shape provide versatile uses across the menu from breakfast to dinner. Deep-fry the potatoes to achieve crispy ribbon hash browns that can be used as a traditional breakfast side, burger topping or as the base for an innovative potato waffle recipe.
  • Chef’s Line® Beef and Pork Ragu: Just in time for cooler months and as consumers look for comforting menu options, this labor-saving sous vide product is a hearty addition to menus no matter the time of day. The eight-hour cooking process ensures meat tenderness and depth of flavor that can be featured in a base for a pasta dinner, a midday sandwich or even a breakfast hash.
  • Cross Valley Farms® Pineapple Pico De Gallo: A ready-to-use product that elevates any dish with Latin-inspired flavor. This fruit-forward, slightly spicy blend is perfect as a dip, a tropical butter sauce, pineapple chutney or inspiration for tropical cocktails and mocktails.
  • Chef’s Line® Garlic and Herb Cheese Filled Muffin: Filled with Boursin™ cheese, infused with garlic and herbs and topped with zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, chives, parsley and dried garlic, these muffins are ideal for breakfast, brunch or a gourmet side dish. Enjoy it solo, use it for sandwiches or pair with soups, salads or entrées across menus.
