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.

ATLANTA, Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shiplify, the primary accessorial revenue identifier for carriers, shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers, today announced the launch of its self-service product, tailored specifically for shippers looking to optimize their Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) processes independently. This solution provides shippers with access to the same detailed location data used by over 90% of LTL carriers, delivering unparalleled insights to streamline operations, eliminate surprises, and boost profitability.

Shiplify’s self-service plans cater to shippers of varying sizes and scales, with pricing starting at just $99/month for the Basic plan (up to 500 location lookups per month) and going up to $249/month for the Premium plan (up to 1,500 location lookups per month). Enterprise plans are available for parties that need access to more than 1,500 location lookups per month.

“With our self-service solution, shippers can finally simplify LTL processes and improve their relationships with carriers,” said North Winship, President of Shiplify. “By allowing all parties to work with the same data, we’re creating a more transparent and efficient logistics environment.”

Shiplify’s self-service solution simplifies LTL shipping with advanced features like exclusive location data for dock and forklift identification, location types, and lumper details, helping shippers streamline operations and avoid delays.
