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.

How to save on wedding dresses in 2023

The average cost of a wedding dress varies depending on the designer, the type of fabric and embellishments used, and other factors. Generally, most brides-to-be can expect to spend between $1,000 and $3,000 for their gown. Dresses typically take up around 10-15% of your wedding budget. Using a wedding budget calculator can help you estimate how much you will spend in each big category.

Even if you do use a wedding budget calculator and you find these numbers still make you nervous, here are a few tips for saving money on a wedding dress in 2023:

  • Always shop around and compare prices: Look at various stores and websites to see what options are available and at what price points. This will help you understand the going rates for different styles and brands.
  • Consider buying a pre-owned or gently used dress: You can often find great deals on gently used wedding dresses. Check out online marketplaces like Still White, Once Wed, and Preowned Wedding Dresses, or see if local consignment stores carry wedding dresses.
  • Rent a dress instead of buying: Many formal wear stores and websites offer dress rental options, which can be a more budget-friendly alternative to purchasing a new dress.
  • Choose a less expensive fabric: Wedding dresses made from satin, silk, and lace are more costly than those made from cotton, polyester, or chiffon.
  • Look for discounts: Keep an eye out for sales and deals at bridal stores, and don’t be afraid to negotiate with the salesperson to see if they are willing to offer you a better price.

Where to find discounted wedding dresses

There are plenty of places to find your perfect dress at an affordable price. Check out:

  • Online marketplaces: Websites like Still White, Once Wed, and Preowned Wedding Dresses offer gently used wedding dresses at discounted prices.
  • Department stores: Some department stores, such as David’s Bridal and JC Penney, have a selection of wedding dresses at more budget-friendly price points.
  • Off-the-rack bridal stores: Many bridal stores offer off-the-rack dresses available immediately rather than ordering a made-to-measure dress. These dresses may be less expensive than custom-ordered dresses.
  • Rentals: Renting a wedding dress can be more budget-friendly than buying one. Many formal wear stores and websites offer dress rental options.
  • Sample sales: Many bridal stores have sample sales, where you can purchase a dress used for display at a discounted price. These sales are usually held at the end of the season or when the store is looking to make room for new styles.

 Bottom Line

Planning a wedding can be incredibly expensive, and one of the most costly investments is typically the dress. Fortunately, there are several strategies you can use to save on your wedding dress without sacrificing style or quality. Shopping online allows you to browse dozens more options than a bridal boutique may offer, and you can often find great deals on eBay or other auction sites.

Additionally, buying off the rack, instead of ordering a custom-made gown, can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars while still finding something beautiful and suitable. Searching secondhand shops or consignment stores is also an option that many couples overlook; you may be delighted at the designer gowns that can be found in some of these places for a fraction of the price. With all these money-saving tips, you’ll find that same dream dress for less.
