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.

Nicelocal Has Changed Its Rules for Company Ratings

Nicelocal has changed its rules for rating businesses. In order to rate a business they've been to, users now have to write a Nicelocal review.

How did Nicelocal's rating system work before?

Before the end of 2022, the rules for rating businesses were the following:

  • The user had to have a Nicelocal account.
  • A user could only rate (1-5 stars) a few businesses in each category. Website users who rated businesses could decide on their own whether to write a review about them or not.

On the one hand, this approach allowed companies to get more ratings, so their Nicelocal ratings would change more quickly. On the other, this made it possible to spam both positive and negative ratings.

What's changed?

In order to rate a business whose services they've used, users now have to write a review as well. It doesn't matter whether the review is positive or negative as long as it's based on real experience. Review moderation still takes the same amount of time -- up to three business days.

Nicelocal believes that this approach is better and fairer for both users and the companies in its catalog. After all, users would much rather read about how real people experienced and interacted with a business than just see how many stars it's earned.

Advantages for businesses:

1. They get more feedback from real clients. And the more reviews a business gets, the more objective its Nicelocal rating will be.

2. It enables them to work with reviews more actively. Marketing experts and business owners will be able to get more reliable information about a given business in order to analyze its strengths and weaknesses. This will enable business owners to constantly work on improving the quality of their service.

3. It will make Nicelocal reviews more transparent and fair by minimizing the possibility of review spamming intended to boost a business's position in Nicelocal's search results.

Advantages for users:

1. They will have access to more Nicelocal reviews. This will make it even easier for them to choose the right business, since Nicelocal will contain even more information from real customers.

2. They will get a more objective impression of a given business. Before someone can write a review, they have to analyze the company's service and remember what they liked and disliked about it. If they do this, the rating given to the business will be more objective.

Users will also benefit from Nicelocal reviews becoming fairer, since a company card's position in the catalog is one of the key factors users base their decisions on when choosing a business. 

These changes to the way Nicelocal reviews work will make competition between the companies on the platform more transparent and fair. For businesses, it's a great opportunity to get more reviews and more information about the quality of their service, how in-demand it is, and which issues it might need to address.
