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.

Brook Furniture Rental and Descartes Honored with Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s 2023 Top Supply Chain Projects Award

ATLANTA, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, and Chicago-based Brook Furniture Rental, a leading provider of rental furniture, décor and housewares for the office and home, are honored to be named as one of the winners of this year’s Top Supply Chain Projects presented by Supply & Demand Chain Executive (SDCE). The publication’s award spotlights innovative projects that automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.

Brook Furniture Rental and Descartes have been recognized by SDCE for the dramatic impact of Descartes’ home delivery solution on Brook’s customer service, operational efficiency and sustainability. By replacing manual processes with Descartes’ end-to-end platform for last mile delivery operations, Brook transformed the customer experience through a best-in-class, 95+% on-time delivery performance, reducing the number of “where’s my truck?” calls by 50+%, and doubling fleet productivity and capacity to reduce its environmental footprint and increase delivery efficiency. Descartes’ sophisticated last mile delivery solution combines intelligent route planning and execution, dynamic delivery appointment scheduling, real-time notifications and mobile proof-of-delivery (POD).

“We’re honored to receive the Top Supply Chain Projects award, a testament to our commitment to building key logistics and supply chain relationships to better serve our customers,” said Nathan Sanders, President and CEO of Brook Furniture Rental. “Through our collaboration with Descartes, we’ve levelled up our white-glove delivery and pickup services, providing 24/7 self-service appointment booking, real-time status alerts and updated ETAs via our Track-My-Truck service—all to the absolute delight of our customers.”

“We’re thrilled that Brook has been recognized by SDCE for its digital transformation. Helping our customers meet the highest standards of delivery performance while enhancing customer service and boosting profitability is extremely rewarding,” said James Wee, General Manager, Routing, Mobile and Telematics at Descartes. “We’re equally proud of the sustainability benefits of this project. Brook reduced its environmental impact, doubling the number of stops made per truck per day and doubling the number of pieces carried per truck, which also improved the efficiency of its delivery fleet by 100%.”
