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.

Agridence Develops Platform for GPSNR’s Reporting Requirements (RR)

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 July 2024 - Agridence developed a digital platform specifically for the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) Reporting Requirements (RR) with the aim of simplifying the process of sustainability data reporting, collection and aggregation for the natural rubber value chain. When the exercise was first introduced to GPSNR members in 2022, a major tire maker reached out to Agridence to develop a solution to improve the reporting process and make data consolidation and aggregation easier. In 2023, two more major tire manufacturers started to use the tool.

Reporting Requirements Supplier Submissions Dashboard

In previous years, some GPSNR members expressed concerns about the redundant efforts required to generate reports for multiple downstream customers, who requested the reports in different formats.

As a solution, Agridence was appointed by GPSNR as a service provider and developed an online form for users to log in, work on the form, and submit it with a click of a button. Data will then be consolidated in a consistent format to reduce efforts in re-formatting data into a single file for data aggregation.

"Agridence has developed an intuitive digital form that consolidates the reporting process onto one efficient platform. We hope this will help in ensuring a smooth data collection process without duplication and multiple formats. Their ongoing commitment to enhancing usability and meeting our members' needs have made the collaboration fruitful," said GPSNR Platform Director Stefano Savi.

In 2024, Agridence has upgraded its product for use, by GPSNR and all its members to further streamline the reporting process. Through this exercise, the platform provides suppliers and upstream companies with the following key features:

  1. Prefilling of data to copy and paste the same response to the respective recipients, reducing any duplicated efforts for reporting
  2. Ensuring data confidentiality in the users' responses
  3. Allowing members to manage and assign their upstream suppliers with the relevant forms
  4. User-friendly and intuitive form to capture data easier than an excel sheet
  5. Submission tracking dashboard, to allow members to monitor the progress of their suppliers' submissions and download their responses

"Using Agridence's Reporting Requirements product has enhanced our sustainability reporting efficiency, allowing us to streamline our data collection process", stated Sumitomo, an RR user.

As part of Agridence's service agreement with GPSNR, only selected GPSNR Secretariat staff can access the data, in accordance with the permission settings set by GPSNR.

"As a former user of this platform feature in my previous role, I experienced its significant benefits first-hand. I am delighted that GPSNR has adopted the RR product, and I am confident it will deliver substantial value to its members." said Ulrich Antoni, Managing Director, ARPL.

As an ISO 27001-certified company, Agridence has set precautionary measures to maintain the integrity of the data in line with security policies and data confidentiality to prevent the misuse of the data.
