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.

Webb Eyecare Selects SimplyRFID AIMS Software for Eyewear Inventory Management

Struggling with existing ERP software to maintain accurate inventory across multiple stores, Webb Eyecare finds solace in AIMS for managing inventory.

Webb Eyecare uses the AIMS RFID Handheld for inventory management

Webb Eyecare runs three optometry and eye glass stores in Nebraska. With 25 staff and thousands of eye frames to choose from, it was never possible to maintain accurate inventory of what was available. Manual counting was too time consuming and tracking never caught up with the daily demands of serving customers.

The AIMS RFID inventory system developed by SimplyRFiD in partnership with Frame Source Group solved the problem. By installing RAIN RFID tags on every frame, Webb takes an accurate inventory using the AIMS RFID handheld in a few minutes vs. the days it took to scan barcodes.

"Keeping inventory through our practice management system hadn't been working for years."

General Manager, Jessica Schwager, ABOC, CPOT

"Inventory was always off, and with 25 staff members selling frames there was just too much room for human error to ever fix the problem. AIMs finally gave us a solution. I know exactly what is in each of the three offices every day when they take inventory," said Schwager.

Beyond Inventory, AIMS allows fast correction when things go missing.

"I also know instantly if frames are disappearing from our office.  Before [AIMS] it could have gone on for quite awhile without being caught," added Schwager.

Webb Eyecare has three locations in Scottsbluff, Alliance, & Bridgeport Nebraska.

AIMS allows eye care professionals to:

  • Manage inventory in minutes with RFID. Weekly management reduces loss/theft an average of 90%.
  • Place re-order and drop ship orders, automatically, from seven manufacturers with two-day turn around for a prescription lens and frame.
  • Reduce inventory requirement. With AIMS, frames are placed back on board to sell multiple times a day vs. whenever the rep shows up to restock. This also smooths cash flow and expenses to match sales.
  • Maintains a stock list of more than 80,000 frames from 17 manufacturers with frame data, pictures, and stock levels.

The AIMS eyewear order management and inventory system is available today from Frame Source Group and designed for eyewear stores with one or one thousand locations.
