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.

Conduent Survey Finds Even Digital Channels Need a Human Touch

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of this year’s Customer Service Week, Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led business process solutions company, released its 2022 State of Consumer Experience Report. According to the report, 24% of consumers are willing to end association with a brand after just one bad experience. The positive impact of customer service is also real with 22% of consumers willing to spend more because of a good experience.

“Outstanding customer service is critical to the overall consumer experience and a key factor in building consumer relationships, growing revenue and differentiating brands from their competitors,” said Jeff Weiner, Vice President, General Manager for Customer Experience Management at Conduent. “Human touch is important and can be a differentiator for consumers in customer experience digital channels. Companies win when they strategically leverage data about the end-to-end customer experience to understand the consumer, are knowledgeable and demonstrate empathy – all at the same time.”

Key findings from the Conduent report:

Consumers want conversational customer experiences with 65% of consumers wanting an agent responding in digital channels like chat.

  • 70% of consumers describe customer experience as excellent if they have either a strong relationship with the brand or an interaction that evokes a feeling of "happiness."
  • 74% of consumers said brand interactions were successful because the agent was helpful, which was more important to them than efficiency (53%).

What describes customer experience excellence

Consumer trust of customer service channels grew

  • Trust in digital interactions grew from 47% pre-pandemic to 76% post-pandemic.
  • Trust in both AI and agent chats grew from 39% pre-pandemic to 65% post-pandemic.
  • Trust in self-serve options grew from 39% pre-pandemic to 73% post-pandemic.

Brands can drive loyalty by understanding customers

The survey suggests there are two ways to win a consumer’s loyalty – being very helpful (49%) and having all the consumer’s information available (34%). In the past 18 months, brands report they are focused on customer service initiatives to increase customer loyalty and attract new customers including:

  • training and enhanced processes to handle more complexity, offer more empathy and better personalize interactions (50%).
  • greater emphasis on customer feedback and identifying customer experience gaps (55%).

“To deliver excellent consumer experiences, brands must create a personalized experience while empowering agents to be empathetic and problem-solvers,” said Weiner. “To truly resonate with consumers, customer experience needs to maintain ‘the human element’ and demonstrate expertise. That’s why every year we celebrate Customer Service Week. We celebrate our 27,000 customer service agents who deliver great experiences in every interaction.”
