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.

HeavyConnect and Starfish Partner to Tackle Data-Sharing Gaps in the Food Supply Chain

By closing the data gaps between supply chain partners, the joint solution empowers businesses to drive better decisions around product safety, quality, and freshness.

(PRUnderground) April 10th, 2025

HeavyConnect, a leader in digital compliance and operational solutions for agriculture, has announced a strategic partnership with Starfish, a collaborative data-sharing network that enables food companies to exchange critical traceability and operational information with their supply chain partners. The partnership streamlines data flow across the supply chain, connecting producers, processors, and retailers through improved visibility and integration.  Beyond supporting regulatory initiatives like the FDA’s FSMA 204 traceability rule, the collaboration is designed to help the food industry build a more connected and resilient supply chain.

This partnership is designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in the food industry: fragmented and inefficient data-sharing across complex supply chains. By integrating HeavyConnect’s mobile-first data collection platform with Starfish’s interoperable network, food producers, processors, and suppliers will be able to connect more easily, without the need for costly, custom-built integrations or major system overhauls.

“Today’s supply chains rely on real-time collaboration, but too often, data lives in silos and is exchanged manually or inefficiently,” said Patrick Zelaya, CEO of HeavyConnect. “Our partnership with Starfish breaks down these barriers, enabling food companies to share information effortlessly and accurately, whether it’s for traceability, quality, or operational insights.”

HeavyConnect’s platform allows users to digitize records and workflows at the source—on the farm, in the field, or on the production floor—using mobile devices. By connecting to Starfish’s network, users can now streamline the secure exchange of that data with buyers, suppliers, and regulators, regardless of the systems those partners are using.

“Starfish is dedicated to eliminating the friction in data-sharing by helping technology providers connect their customers without the need for custom integrations,” said Wiggs Civitillo, CEO of Starfish. “By teaming up with HeavyConnect, we’re expanding access to seamless, scalable data exchange built on industry best practices and a user experience that’s trusted across agriculture.”

This partnership marks a significant step toward a future where interoperability and collaboration are no longer obstacles, but core strengths of the food industry. By closing the data gaps between supply chain partners, the joint solution empowers businesses to drive better decisions around product safety, quality, and freshness.
