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.

DZA Transforms Client Experience and Engagement Efficiency with Suralink’s Client Collaboration Platform

Washington-based firm reports 99.9% client adoption, zero login and upload complaints, and balanced workloads after replacing legacy portal

Suralink, the leading client collaboration platform for accountants, today announced that DZA is using Suralink to enhance client experience, streamline engagements, and improve team work-life balance.

DZA is a Washington-based accounting and advisory firm serving healthcare and not-for-profit organizations across 21 states. Committed to delivering timely, high-quality service, the firm faced ongoing challenges with its previous client portal. Frequent technical errors, poor navigation, and failed uploads disrupted workflows and ultimately reduced service quality and productivity.

With Suralink, DZA replaced these inefficiencies within its specialized 990 nonprofit tax practice with a reliable, user-friendly platform. To streamline the more than 130 tax returns it manages each year, the firm built custom templates to standardize document requests and leverages Suralink’s real-time status reporting to give clients clear updates on outstanding items, eliminating the need for repeated follow-ups and enabling the team to receive correct information more quickly.

“With Suralink, I haven’t received a single complaint from a client about logging in or uploading documents,” said Brennan Pendleton, Manager at DZA. “It’s been a complete turnaround.”

Suralink’s intuitive, single-page view streamlines the experience, driving a 99.9% client adoption rate. Firm-wide use has also smoothed workloads, allowing earlier information collection and steady 40–45-hour workweeks year-round, replacing the demanding 50–60-hour peak-season norm.

“We’re getting information earlier and maintaining a consistent workflow throughout the year,” said Clayton Batts, Senior Tax Accountant at DZA. “That’s a big win for our team’s work-life balance.”
