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.

Sprout Social Expands Salesforce Collaboration to Revolutionize Social Customer Care


  • New Digital Engagement integration brings Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp* into Salesforce to scale faster, smarter customer experiences on social.
  • This integration helps brands streamline social customer care, unify social and CRM data for a 360-degree view of their customers, and deliver consistent, high-quality experiences across all channels.

CHICAGO, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sprout Social (Nasdaq: SPT), an industry-leading provider of cloud-based social media management software, today announced an expanded relationship with Salesforce, as the first social media management platform to build a connection with Salesforce Digital Engagement using their Bring Your Own Channel architecture. In collaboration with Salesforce, Sprout Social will bring social channels—Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp—directly into Salesforce.

With 73% of consumers ready to switch brands if social media responses are delayed, and personalized service topping their expectations in 2025, brands need seamless solutions to stay competitive. Sprout’s integration will address this by embedding social conversations directly into Salesforce, in addition to the channels that come with Digital Engagement, giving service reps the ability to support customers across digital, voice, and social channels–all in one workspace. This will empower customer service and social teams to resolve issues faster and deliver personalized support with access to Salesforce’s powerful AI tools, customer data, knowledge and workflows.

“In today’s customer care landscape, social media is central, and rising expectations demand more unified care solutions,” said Scott Morris, CMO of Sprout Social. “Our expanded Salesforce relationship will be a game-changer for brands, who will now be able to drive business-wide impact with the power of Social Intelligence integrated into their primary customer engagement platform.”

“Our collaboration with Sprout Social plays a pivotal role in enhancing the value of Service Cloud for our shared customers,” said Kishan Chetan, EVP & GM of Service Cloud at Salesforce. “By integrating social conversations into Salesforce, Sprout Social enables businesses to unify social data with their customer data to deliver better, more personalized service–helping them build stronger, more trusted brands.”

Key benefits of the upcoming Sprout Social and Salesforce Digital Engagement integration include:

  • Work smarter with AI and automation: Tap into Salesforce’s Agentforce, reporting tools, and advanced workflows to turn social insights into fast, intelligent action.
  • Unify social with your current tools: Route social messages into the same agent workspace used for email, chat and voice, with no new platforms or additional training required.
  • Create a 360-degree view of your customer: Unify social data with your customer data to give every team a holistic view of interactions across channels
  • Fuel strategy beyond support: Help marketing, sales and product teams leverage real customer conversations and social insights to inform messaging, improve journeys and drive results

While the integration is not currently available to customers, Sprout Social will showcase the integration and share availability details at this year’s Dreamforce, taking place Oct. 14–16. Learn more about how to optimize care with Sprout Social and Salesforce here.
