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.

New Industrial Metal Supply location in Phoenix doubles in size to meet industry demand.

Industrial Metal Supply Co (IMS), the Southwest's largest metal supplier, is moving to its new, larger warehouse and store located at 38th Street and Southern Avenue in South Phoenix. The new facility offers same-day access to a large variety of metals and related accessories and continues IMS's tradition of 75 years of service. 

"The demand for metal is growing exponentially here in Arizona, and we are ready to meet that demand," said IMS owner and CEO Neil Sherman. "With twice the square footage, we can expand our same-day solutions for businesses that are part of Arizona's technology and manufacturing building boom. IMS customers have come to expect the highest quality materials, unmatched customer service and convenience, and we're proud to provide these on an even larger scale."

The new facility is comprised of 160,000 square feet of space including a 15,000 square foot store, twice the size of the original retail store. In addition, the new facility offers more parking, including oversized spaces for large trucks and trailers, drive-through Will Call capabilities and indoor loading zones for customer comfort. To increase functionality and efficiency, IMS has added a Somerset Mfg order filling machine, an AccurShear conveyor stacker, a Canrack bundle splitter and four overhead cranes. Inside customers will also find a Grab & Go area for small orders. Cutting equipment includes two shears that handle up to 1/2" plate, and a band saw that will cut up to 24" product.

The tremendous variety of IMS product available to customers includes steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass to tool steel, lead and bearing bronze. Other items include expanded, perforated and welded wire sheets, casters, welding accessories, patinas, structural aluminum pipe fittings and hobbyist miniature shapes. The store also stocks thousands of metal accessories in a clean, highly organized indoor space, making it easy and fun for even novice metal buyers to navigate. 

"We pay very close attention to the needs of our customers and the business climate around us. It was easy to see the increased demand, so we were intentional and proactive in getting this new facility built and stocked as quickly as possible. Now that it's ready, we're able to bring our 'metal made easy' capabilities to a wider array of Arizona customers," added Sherman. 

In addition to providing the highest level of product and customer service, IMS is steadfast in its commitment to the community and prioritizes charitable giving to a variety of groups. With 23 years in the Valley, IMS believes in embedding itself beyond just the business and does so by working with local charities and robotics teams.

In addition to offering the state's widest selection of metal in one location, IMS stores are proud to offer a store discount to seniors, members of the military, students and first responders. The store is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and half day on Saturdays. For added convenience, IMS offers next-day local delivery, or same-day Will Call pick up. Learn more at https://www.industrialmetalsupply.com/ or call (602) 454-1500.

Family-owned and operated since 1948, IMS offers the broadest line of metals available from a single distributor, meeting California and Arizona metal buyers' needs with seven locations offering delivery, will call and in-store options unique to the industry.
