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.

Descartes Acquires BoxTop Technologies

Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that it has acquired ВохТор Technologies Limited, a leading provider of shipment management solutions for small- to mid-sized logistics services providers.

BoxTop Technologies Ltd, a shipment management solutions provider that specializes in working with logistics service providers (LSPs), has announced that it has just been acquired by Descartes Systems Group (TSX:DSG) (Nasdaq:DSGX), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce.


BoxTop is a UK-based firm that has helped LSPs utilize computer-aided management solutions that can help them manage the complexities of the freight industry. With the help of BoxTop’s management platform, LSPs are able to ensure security and efficiency in logistics, including routing, booking, and delivery. BoxTop has previously worked with Descartes as a partner, using the Descartes Global Logistics Network (“GLN”) to provide their clients with more insight into shipments across differing transportation and shipment models, with support for electronic customs filings.


Descartes, which has now acquired BoxTop, is a logistics platform provider that offers a range of solutions, including routing, mobile & telematics, customs & regulatory compliance, transportation management, and other services. With Cloud-based logistics and supply chain solutions, they empower LSPs with access to greater insights and more precise decision-making for both employees and customers. With their acquisition of BoxTop, the suite of tools their platform offers is able to grow exponentially.


“We’ve been working successfully with BoxTop for a number of years, and this was the next logical step in our partnership,” said Scott Sangster, General Manager of Logistics Services Providers at Descartes. “BoxTop has an excellent solution for small- to mid-sized LSPs and we see an opportunity to integrate it with more solutions on the GLN.  This will help us deliver more value to BoxTop customers and expand the geographic footprint into more countries in Europe.”


“LSPs will continue to play a vital role in trade in the global economy,” said Edward J. Ryan, Descartes’ CEO. “As LSPs continue to digitize their operations, we want to make sure that small- to mid-size LSPs have access to the same breadth of solutions to manage the lifecycle of shipments in a secure and efficient manner.  The acquisition of BoxTop puts us in a better position to deliver even more value to this community. We’re excited to welcome the BoxTop employees, customers, and partners into the Descartes family.”


BoxTop is headquartered in Windsor, England. Descartes acquired BoxTop for approximately £10.25 million ($US 13 million), satisfied from cash on hand.
