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.

Starfish and DeltaTrak Join Forces to Redefine Cold Chain Intelligence

Starfish, the leading neutral data-sharing platform for the food supply chain, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with DeltaTrak, a global leader in cold chain visibility and environmental monitoring technologies.

(PRUnderground) July 22nd, 2025

Starfish, the leading neutral connectivity platform for the food supply chain, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with DeltaTrak, a global leader in cold chain visibility and environmental monitoring solutions. This collaboration brings together real-time temperature and location data from DeltaTrak’s trusted monitoring devices with Starfish’s event-based traceability platform to give food companies deeper insight and greater control across their supply chains.

In today’s high-stakes food environment, raw data isn’t enough. This partnership delivers context-rich intelligence, layered, actionable information that tells the full story behind every product movement, environmental condition, and chain-of-custody event. From temperature and time to location and transformation, Starfish and DeltaTrak are bringing these data streams together in one connected view, helping teams move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, insight-led decision-making.

“We’re not just layering data, we’re capturing context,” said Wiggs Civitillo, CEO of Starfish. “When you can see not just what happened, but when, where, and why—it changes the game. That’s the kind of visibility companies need to reduce waste, protect quality, and respond in real time.”

Through this partnership, DeltaTrak’s trusted FlashTrak® sensor data will flow directly into the Starfish platform, which uses an event-driven, GS1 EPCIS-based framework to translate and organize data across fragmented systems. This powerful combination enables food companies to layer traceability and cold chain logistics data, not only improving operational visibility but also enabling dynamic shelf life tracking, adjusting freshness estimates based on actual handling conditions throughout the product journey.

By moving beyond static expiration dates, companies can more accurately predict remaining shelf life, reduce shrink, and make smarter inventory and quality decisions in real time.

“This isn’t just about visibility, it’s about empowering action,” said Karl McDemott, Chief SaaS Officer at DeltaTrak. “Our partnership with Starfish transforms raw environmental data into real-time intelligence, giving supply chain partners the clarity they need to protect product quality, reduce waste, and perform at a higher level across the board.”

Early adoption is already in motion across categories like produce, seafood, and ready-to-eat foods, where brands can’t afford to compromise on freshness or quality. As more companies look to lead with transparency and precision, demand is growing to connect traceability with real-time cold chain insights that drive smarter, stronger supply chains.
