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 Survey Data Shows Innovation Teams at Large Companies Are Focusing More on Near-Term Initiatives, but Internal Politics and Culture Remain Top Challenges

InnoLead has released a 2023 update to its popular Benchmarking Innovation Impact research with KPMG LLP.

Benchmarking Innovation Impact 2023 Report

InnoLead has released a 2023 update to its popular Benchmarking Innovation Impact research with KPMG LLP.

Global 1000 companies are pulling back on longer-term innovation projects and allocating more resources toward the near term, according to the new research report Benchmarking Innovation Impact 2023, produced by InnoLead and sponsored by KPMG LLP. Innovation group budgets are under more pressure, compared with an earlier survey conducted in 2019, but more than 40 percent of corporate respondents expect the size of their innovation teams to increase in 2023.

InnoLead surveyed more than 200 professionals globally who work in innovation, R&D, and strategy roles to understand how organizations are navigating decisions related to innovation investment.

Key findings from the report include:

  • More than 40 percent of organizations expect innovation group staffing to increase in 2023, while 43 percent expect group size to remain the same. Fourteen percent are anticipating a decrease. 
  • 26 percent of respondents expect their budgets to decrease in 2023, compared with only nine percent expecting a decrease in the earlier 2019 survey. Thirty-nine percent of respondents expect their budget will increase in 2023.
  • The vast majority of innovation groups (81 percent) say they're working together in a hybrid model, with just 6 percent working together entirely in person and the remainder (13 percent) working entirely remotely. 
  • The top challenge for corporate innovators remains the same as in the 2019 survey: navigating internal politics and turf wars in order to get new initiatives launched.
  • When asked about the factors that help attract additional budget or staff to innovation activities, respondents put two things atop the list: Senior leadership is excited by the innovation group's vision, and the group has demonstrated the ability to generate new revenues. 

"Innovation empowers organizations to deliver new capabilities, tackle unexpected challenges, and meet client demands," says Cliff Justice, National Leader of Enterprise Innovation at KPMG US. "Our report provides valuable insights for leaders in strategy, R&D, design, and more, so they can create quantifiable impact across their organizations."

In addition to quantitative data about how innovation in large organizations is evolving, the 55-page research report includes perspective pieces from KPMG professionals and qualitative interviews with executives from Colgate-Palmolive, Entergy, Goodyear, Illumina, Kimberly-Clark, Mastercard, PTC, and NASCAR.
