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.

3PL Systems and Shiplify Bring Transparency to LTL Quoting

ATLANTA, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shiplify, the primary accessorial revenue identifier for carriers, shippers, and third-party logistics (3PL) providers, today announced a strategic integration with 3PL Systems, an automated transportation management software (TMS) built for unlimited broker growth. The partnership embeds Shiplify’s location intelligence directly into 3PL Systems’ BrokerWare platform, enabling users to identify costly accessorials at the point of quote, reducing hidden fees that plague less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments.

LTL freight is notoriously tricky to price accurately. Residential deliveries, limited access locations and liftgate requirements often go unnoticed until after a shipment is booked, leading to billing disputes, eroded margins and frustrated customers. With this integration, Shiplify’s intelligence automatically flags and maps these details upfront, ensuring that brokers see carrier-specific charges instantly.

“By embedding Shiplify’s location and accessorial insights directly into 3PL Systems, brokers using BrokerWare finally have access to delivery transparency at the point of quote,” said North Winship, President, Shiplify. “That means fewer unexpected fees, faster wins and protected margins. Even more impactful, all of this can be done without ever leaving BrokerWare.”

For 3PL Systems, the integration reinforces a philosophy of delivering everything brokers need within one intuitive platform. BrokerWare already unites LTL and truckload operations across rating, dispatch, tracking and accounting. Now, it gives users an even sharper competitive edge in the LTL market.

“Everything brokers need should exist in one intuitive system,” said Michael Sternberg, Director of Sales, 3PL Systems. “The integration of Shiplify reinforces that ethos. Users can now unlock more accurate quoting, fewer billing headaches and smarter, automated decisions. It’s a win for our customers and a call to the industry: Seamless point solutions don’t just enhance user experience, they change the game.”

The integration is available immediately for all 3PL Systems BrokerWare customers. By removing the guesswork from LTL quoting, Shiplify and 3PL Systems are empowering brokers to win freight with confidence, protect margins and deliver transparency to shippers; turning what was once a liability into a strategic advantage.
