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.

Assent's New EU Deforestation Regulation Solution Helps Manufacturers Ensure Readiness for Urgent Deadline

By: PRLog
Platform enhances supplier engagement, mitigates supply chain risk, and helps protect market access

OTTAWA, Ontario - Aug. 14, 2025 - PRLog -- Assent Inc., the leader in supply chain sustainability management, has announced its new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) solution. This purpose-built software is designed to help manufacturers struggling to document and report on urgent EUDR regulation compliance, ahead of the December 30, 2025 deadline. It effectively meets the unique needs of manufacturers navigating complex, multi-tier supply chains for full EUDR readiness.

The EUDR requires companies to prove that products entering the EU are deforestation-free, legally produced, and traceable to the plot of land where raw materials — such as rubber, wood, soy, or cocoa — were harvested. Due diligence statements are required by the end of 2025 for companies classified as large or medium, meaning manufacturers face a tight timeline, limited supplier visibility, and increasing pressure from regulators and customers alike. Companies that do not meet requirements may lose market access in the EU, and face fines of up to 4 percent of their European revenue.

Assent's EUDR solution combines an AI-enhanced software platform with built-in regulatory expertise to help manufacturers assess their exposure, engage hard-to-reach suppliers in multiple languages, and collect the verified data required for compliance. With the addition of the EUDR solution, Assent continues to expand its product sustainability capabilities, helping manufacturers gain control over the materials and processes behind their products. The solution supports due diligence statement generation, full audit readiness, and proactive risk mitigation — all within a centralized system integrated with the Assent platform.

"Assent is uniquely positioned to solve the scale and complexity challenges of EUDR compliance with our purpose-built software for manufacturers sourcing complex assemblies with indirect commodity risk," said Catherine Cormier, Chief Product Officer at Assent. "Our EUDR software builds on Assent's core strengths, including advanced technology like AI, a proven supplier engagement model, and deep regulatory expertise.. With this product launch, we are continuing to help manufacturers reduce operational risk and build stronger, more transparent supply chains that stand up to regulatory and partner scrutiny."

Assent provides a centralized platform to manage multiple regulatory topics for manufacturers, with frequent updates to address emerging sustainability issues, such as the EU Battery Regulation Solution and the enhanced Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Solution.
