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.

Plasterboard Prices Soar: Online Supplier Build4Less Warns of Dramatic Price Increases in Plasterboard in July

By: Magic PR

The perfect storm of the conflict in Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors has meant we’ve all seen dramatically rising costs across all sectors of life. The construction industry has not escaped this inflation, and builders are currently bracing themselves in the face of upcoming increased costs.

Build4Less, a leading online retailer of building materials, has issued a warning that prices for plasterboard are set to increase by as much as 25% in July. This follows similar price increases for cement, insulation and other key construction materials. What’s more, with the current pressure on availability and increases in raw materials, energy, and labour costs, estimates suggest that price inflation will continue to be a major issue across industries as we progress through this year.

Build4Less is urging customers to purchase plasterboard and other vital materials sooner rather than later because of these rising rates. You may do so via the Build4Less website at https://build4less.co.uk/.

Previous plasterboard price hikes

July’s price hikes in construction materials will by no means be the first significant increase we’ve seen in recent years. Supply chains across a variety of industries have already seen major flux and uncertainty due to the fallout from the global coronavirus pandemic – an example of this is paper, a key material in the production of plasterboard, which was in short supply last year due to the increased demand for shipping packaging. While this is no longer the case, other factors such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and soaring fuel prices have added to – and continue to add to – this supply chain instability as manufacturers struggle to produce and transport materials.

Government statistics state that construction materials prices increased steadily throughout 2021, with contractors paying on average a fifth more for critical products and components by the end of the year. 2022 is unfortunately shaping up to look very similar in terms of increasing prices across the board.

Purchase plasterboard today

Build4Less are encouraging people to purchase plasterboard before prices increase, if possible, in order to obtain better value on materials and reduce overall construction costs. It is thought that prices for British Gypsum products (such as moisture resistant plasterboard and insulated plasterboard)  will rise between 7-20% on the 11th July 2022, while prices for Knauf products (including moisture-resistant, insulated and acoustic plasterboard) will rise by approximately 5.5-26% on the 1st July 2022.

Build4Less is an online retailer that was founded with the goal in mind of offering an excellent variety of products to meet all your construction project needs – all in one place. The company stocks everything from plasterboard, bricks and mortar to tools, equipment and more.
