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.

Shiplify Launches Strategic Integration with Freight Management Software

ATLANTA, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shiplify, the primary accessorial revenue identifier for carriers, shippers and third-party logistics (3PL) providers, today announced its integration with Freight Management Software (FMS), a premier provider of transportation management software (TMS) for freight brokers and 3PLs. The collaboration was introduced through a shared partner, Compass Logistics, which sought Shiplify’s capabilities within FMS to improve LTL accuracy and speed.

The integration leverages Shiplify’s advanced location intelligence and accessorial mapping technology to provide unmatched visibility into shipment requirements. By embedding Shiplify directly within FMS’s LTL Plus platform, brokers can instantly identify residential deliveries, limited-access locations and other critical factors that impact pricing and service levels, before a shipment is booked.

“Accurate location data enables users to make smarter, faster and more accurate LTL decisions,” said North Winship, President, Shiplify. “FMS extends our capabilities directly to brokers and 3PLs within the tools they already use every day. By automating accessorial identification and eliminating unexpected costs, we’re helping users win more freight and protect their margins.”

Freight brokers frequently face unexpected charges when shipments require additional services such as liftgates, inside deliveries or residential drop-offs, costs that often aren’t identified at the time of quoting.

With this integration, Shiplify automatically flags accessorial needs in real time, rerates shipments when necessary and provides the most accurate, carrier-specific costs instantly. This helps brokers quote confidently, avoid billing disputes and deliver a smoother experience to shippers.

For mutual customers like Compass Logistics, which manages hundreds of LTL shipments each month, the integration represents a significant operational advantage. Before Shiplify, brokers relied on manual lookups and disconnected workflows to identify accessorial requirements. Now, with Shiplify fully embedded in FMS, users can book faster, price smarter and operate with complete confidence knowing quotes are accurate, competitive and transparent.

“We saw immediate value in partnering with Shiplify,” said Henry Sheldon, President & CEO, Freight Management Software. “Our brokers and 3PL customers are looking for tools that give them an edge. Shiplify helps them quote confidently, manage costs proactively and deliver better results for their shippers.”

The integration is live and available now for all FMS customers using the LTL Plus platform. Current users can enable Shiplify’s accessorial intelligence through their TMS admin settings or by contacting their FMS account representative.
