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.

VendorConnect Launches New Platform to Empower Australian Suppliers

By: Prodigy
09/12/2025, Fortitude Valley QLD // PRODIGY: Feature Story //

VendorConnect today announced the launch of its open-source platform designed to transform how Australian businesses manage external vendors, projects, and deliverables. Built with modern frameworks and available on GitHub, VendorConnect empowers organisations to collaborate more effectively with contractors, standardise workflows, and ensure consistency across distributed teams.

VendorConnect

At its core, VendorConnect provides a user-friendly vendor portal that integrates project oversight, vendor management, and task standardisation into a single ecosystem. By reducing friction in working with external partners, the platform helps businesses save time, maintain compliance with client requirements, and strengthen supply chain and service delivery performance.

Key Features

  • Template-Based Task Management: Reusable templates with custom fields ensure repeatable, standardised workflows.

  • Comprehensive Vendor Management: Maintain a secure vendor database with performance tracking and role-based access controls.

  • Client Resource Integration: Attach permanent brand guides and client assets directly to tasks for consistency across projects.

  • Advanced Deadline Management: Flexible or strict deadline enforcement with automated grace periods and extension requests.

  • Project Oversight: Real-time progress tracking, approval workflows, and detailed audit trails for accountability.

  • Global Search & Dashboards: Intuitive navigation with analytics and reporting across projects, vendors, and tasks.

Built for Modern Business

VendorConnect v1.0 ships with a modern UI, role-based access controls, and portfolio management tools. It adapts seamlessly to industries ranging from marketing agencies managing creative contractors, to operations teams standardising vendor onboarding and compliance.

Powered by Laravel 10, Next.js 14, and MySQL, the platform is engineered for performance, reliability, and scalability. With its MIT-licensed open-source release, VendorConnect is both accessible for small teams and extensible for enterprises.

A Local Solution with Global Alignment

While designed with the Australian market in mind, VendorConnect reflects best practices in global vendor collaboration. Its modular approach allows suppliers, contractors, and agencies to align with international compliance standards (including GS1 labeling, where required) without building complex systems in-house.
