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.

ArrowStream Launches ChainConnect, First-of-Its-Kind Technology Aimed at Manufacturer Revenue Growth

Leading Foodservice Cloud Platform Partners with Manufacturers to Build Manufacturer Sales Enablement Solution

ArrowStream, Inc. ("ArrowStream"), the leading foodservice cloud platform for supply chain intelligence, today announced its first-ever manufacturer-focused solution for manufacturers to grow their revenue and partnerships. After years of leading the market with chain operator and foodservice distributor solutions, ArrowStream introduces ChainConnect to change the way foodservice manufacturers grow their direct contract agreement with multi-unit restaurant chain sales and expand their indirect distributor business.

Today, most U.S. and Canadian foodservice manufacturers participate in ArrowStream's collaborative applications that provide visibility to its vast network of 100k operator locations and 1,300 distributor locations. With ChainConnect, ArrowStream extends the same visibility that has become the gold standard for the rest of the industry to manufacturers. ChainConnect represents an essential new platform for manufacturer sales and accounts teams.

"We've always been a customer-first company," said Nick Hummer, Director of Product Management at ArrowStream. "Our team set out to understand the manufacturing industry's biggest challenges. Through countless conversations, we learned manufacturers weren't getting the complete picture of where their products ended up. We built ChainConnect alongside our partners to ensure it was a product that filled a critical gap for them and to provide manufacturers with a solution that other products on the market couldn't match." 

ChainConnect is a manufacturer sales enablement solution that delivers up-to-date market data and insights from operators and distributors. Revenue teams, including sales and marketing, can identify unknown purchasers to increase revenue and expand distributor-partner relationships. Manufacturers can also easily monitor purchasing patterns and at-risk revenue with contracted customers.

"ArrowStream's ChainConnect truly delivers on its promise to put high-quality, truly meaningful data at your fingertips," said Jerad Miller, Director of National Accounts at Handgards. "It's an unmatched tool in terms of visibility across all distribution for us, and it provides our team with a competitive edge in the marketplace."

While ChainConnect is designed for manufacturers, chain operators have already seen the value in working with manufacturers that implement ChainConnect. "When a well-informed manufacturer contacts us, it saves time and improves meeting effectiveness. Manufacturers who use ChainConnect are already aware of our requirements. It reduces administrative activity like pulling data and sending it back and forth. It also enables the supplier to drive compliance of their products within our supply chain," said Gary Nash, Sr. Director of Purchasing at Zaxby's. 

Unlike other industry research and data insight products, ChainConnect data is updated daily. It closes the information gap by extending insights beyond the distribution warehouse to operator and restaurant locations. ChainConnect enables revenue teams from large scale foodservice manufacturers to emerging manufacturers alike, to quickly adjust to market changes and actively pursue new business with confidence.

ArrowStream's solutions are developed specifically for the foodservice industry and provide operators, distributors, and manufacturers with an intelligent network that drives efficiency and cost savings in an end-to-end solution for their partners. 

For restaurant chain operators, foodservice manufacturers and distributors looking to improve their supply chain operations and partner collaboration, please request a consultation with one of our supply chain experts today.
