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.

HeyScottie Launches Manufacturing Industry-First Automatic Pricing Engine, Delivering Breakthrough in Finishing Service Price, Quality, and Turn-Around

HeyScottie, the AI-enabled and cloud-based marketplace for anodizing, powder coating, and electroless nickel finishing services, has today announced the launch of its industry-first Automatic Pricing Engine for manufacturers. The breakthrough platform cuts the RFQ process for finishing services down from months to minutes, giving manufacturers the power to break free of "local only" finishing sources while saving time and money.

Using HeyScottie's Automatic Pricing Engine, manufacturers can simply upload a CAD and say, "Go fetch," to immediately get a quote for the fastest and best value in finishing services anywhere in the United States.

"When I was a manufacturer myself, I saw the process take weeks, even months, because there was no price transparency—and the only options were local," says HeyScottie Founder and CEO Rhonda Dibachi. "I created HeyScottie and the Automatic Pricing Engine so that manufacturers can take advantage of advances in artificial intelligence and cloud computing to gain access to finishing services anywhere in the country and get a reliable quote in seconds."

Nation's First Database of its Kind

Drawing on her deep experience in manufacturing, product design, and manufacturing applications design, Dibachi built the nation's first database of finishing service operators, pricing, and turnaround times. This allows even small U.S. manufacturers to easily outsource finishing services beyond their immediate locale so they can speed innovation, boost production, and cut costs. 

"I found that pricing in finishing services is widely variable, and not just from state to state; even within the same town, you can get quotes for $25 to $500 for the same finishing service," notes Dibachi. "Our Automatic Pricing Engine automatically provides the best price, whether that's a block away or several states away."

Providing the Best Value and Turnaround

HeyScottie's extensive manufacturing experience, finishing know-how, in-house engineering team, database of finishing shops, and proprietary grading algorithms ensure quality and consistency for every order—allowing manufacturers to get the best value from suppliers and service providers throughout the U.S.; quickly and easily find out if they can onshore their overseas production without losing quality or increasing costs; explore new services; and increase capacity for custom orders.  

HeyScottie can help U.S. manufacturers find the best value for services such as:

  • Powder Coating
  • Anodizing
  • Electroless Nickel Plating
