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.

SURVEY SHOWS GERMAN COMPANIES IN THE US PROFIT FROM ROBUST MARKET SIZE AND CUSTOMER DEMAND

93% plan to grow their company's US investments in the next three years.

The German American Chambers of Commerce (AHK USA) present the key findings of the 2023 German American Business Outlook (GABO), surveying 201 German subsidiaries in the US about their 2023 business prospects. The results were presented in Atlanta and Chicago on February 8. This year's respondents represent industries including automotive (41%), industrial manufacturing (37%), financial and professional services (25%) and more.

German companies view the US as an attractive investment location due to market size & customer demand, proximity to their customer base, and market stability. Government incentives and lower energy costs, did not prove to be significant drivers for increased US investment.

  • German companies view the US as an attractive environment for future investment; 93%
    plan to grow their US investments by 2025
  • 64% of German companies in the US predict growth of the US economy in 2023; 85%
    expect their net sales to grow
  • Skilled workforce remains #1 challenge for German companies; inflation is another topconcern

85% of the German companies surveyed expect their net sales to grow; 30% expect strong to very strong growth in 2023. 93% of the respondents plan to grow their company's investments in the US by 2025; 72% in 2023. 22% plan to invest over 10 million USD by 2025.

Among the top investment areas within the next three years, digital transformation dominated, with machinery/new office facilities following closely behind.

Workforce and inflation top two challenges for German companies in the US

Building a sustainable workforce pipeline remains the #1 challenge for German subsidiaries in the US for the second year in a row. 78% say they experience difficulties attracting skilled workers. However, 53% of the surveyed companies plan to grow their workforce in 2023; 82% plan to do the same by 2027. Despite recent news of layoffs across multiple industries, only 5% of German companies predict their workforce will decrease in 2023.

Compared to last year's GABO results, inflation overtook supply chain as the second biggest challenge for German companies in 2023.

German companies call for US government support

Over 5,600 German companies invest ~$637 billion in the US market (Representative of German Industry and Trade, September 2022). In the next congressional sessions and election cycles, German companies in the US would like the US government to address inflation, free trade agreements, immigration, reduction of bureaucracy/regulations, and apprenticeship programs. Crispin Teufel, Chairman of the German American Chambers of Commerce, says, "I am proud to highlight the strong economic partnership between our two countries. Our commitment to innovation, growth and mutually beneficial trade agreements has proven to be a recipe for success. Together, Germany and the United States continue to drive economic progress and competitiveness on a global scale."
