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.

Driving Interoperability: Starfish and Top Technology Partners Transform Food Supply Chain Traceability

Starfish and Leading Technology Providers Unite to Deliver True Interoperability in Food Supply Chain Traceability

(PRUnderground) August 12th, 2025

The future of food traceability depends on one thing: breaking down the barriers between systems so that data can move freely across the entire supply chain.

Starfish, the leading connectivity platform for food traceability and data sharing, today announced its Global Partner Ecosystem, bringing together more than 50 of the industry’s top solution providers who are leading the charge toward a fully connected, interoperable food system.

The companies featured in the Global Partner Ecosystem are recognized leaders in their respective fields, delivering exceptional value to their customers through deep expertise in traceability, cold chain visibility, compliance, sustainability, and supply chain intelligence. By leveraging Starfish as a utility layer for data sharing, these organizations are able to:

  • Focus on serving their clients with innovative, specialized solutions—without diverting resources to build and maintain custom connectors or translation services.
  • Deliver interoperability at scale, helping retailers collect data from suppliers, enabling distributors to connect with all of their trading partners, and allowing suppliers to reduce manual processes with portals and unlock new business opportunities.
  • Facilitate broad, industry-wide data sharing, not just adopting capabilities internally, but actively driving an ecosystem of collaboration that benefits the entire food system.

“True interoperability requires leadership and collaboration, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing from these companies,” said Wiggs Civitillo, CEO of Starfish. “They’re not wasting time rebuilding what already exists. Instead, they’re partnering with Starfish to give their customers a connected, compliant, and efficient supply chain experience today.”

Starfish is the only neutral platform in the market, purpose-built to support all technology providers equally without competing against their offerings. This makes it the connectivity backbone of the food supply chain, harmonizing data across more than 100 technology solutions, including ERP, EDI, GS1 EPCIS, traceability, WMS, TMS, and custom partner-built systems. Thousands of food companies already rely on Starfish through participating solution providers to securely share data with retailers, distributors, and suppliers at scale.

The launch of the Global Partner Ecosystem represents a turning point for food companies seeking practical solutions that work with existing systems. Starfish and its partners are proving that interoperability doesn’t mean rip-and-replace; it means using the tools you trust while unlocking the full value of traceability data.

The full list of featured partners is now live on the Starfish Ecosystem Page: www.starfish-network.com/ecosystem

“Solution providers that are truly committed to working together are redefining what progress looks like in the food industry,” said Civitillo. “Together, we’re pursuing a path to deliver the best value possible to food companies around the world.”

If you’re a supplier, manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or restaurant unsure which technology provider is the right fit for your needs, Starfish can provide recommendations and introductions to the right solution for you. As a trusted, neutral advisor, Starfish will ensure you get the right solution for the job, while keeping you connected to all of your trading partners.
