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.

American Time's EverAlert System Integrates with Raptor Technologies to Deliver Unified Campus Safety Communication

Coordinated audiovisual alerts, alignment with emergency protocols, and automated response mechanisms will strengthen school safety and preparedness.

DASSEL, MN, October 02, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- American Time®, a leader in synchronized time and campus communication systems, today announced two-way integration between its EverAlert® system and Raptor® Technologies' Emergency Management System. This combined solution advances school safety by delivering rapid, consistent, and automated campus-wide communications—both for everyday use and in the most critical emergencies.

Support for The "I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is built in, giving schools a nationally recognized framework with a clear, shared vocabulary for emergency response, while also ensuring compliance with mandates such as Alyssa's Law requiring silent panic alert systems directly linked to law enforcement.

This integration builds on the daily utility of EverAlert while harnessing Raptor's advanced emergency response workflows:

Everyday Familiarity, Emergency Readiness — EverAlert supports daily synchronized time scheduling, announcements, and audiovisual messaging across classrooms, hallways, and common areas. Because these devices are a trusted, everyday source of information, occupants instinctively turn to them during critical events for reliable emergency guidance.

Automated Response — Through Raptor Connect™, EverAlert ties directly into Raptor Technologies' automated emergency response sequences. When a crisis alert is activated—such as a lockdown or evacuation—EverAlert instantly carries out pre-configured messaging and instructions across designated zones, minimizing manual steps and accelerating coordinated response.

Synchronized Response Across All Devices — When an alert is activated with a simple push of a button, EverAlert displays and speakers broadcast the appropriate message, tone, and instructions campus-wide or to targeted zones, ensuring speed and clarity.

Compliance & Consistency — The integration supports state and federal safety mandates, such as Alyssa's Law.

Seamless Infrastructure Fit — Schools and districts already using Raptor or EverAlert can adopt the integration without rework of their existing system architecture.

"Standardization, speed and familiarity save lives," said Chris Noell, Chief Product Officer at Raptor Technologies. "By bringing together Raptor, SRP, and EverAlert, we are helping communicate instantly and consistently across every corner of a campus."

Tim Leung, VP of Engineering & Operations at American Time added, "EverAlert's strength lies in being both a daily operations tool and a crisis awareness system. Because students and staff already engage with EverAlert for schedules and announcements, they trust and understand its messaging when emergencies occur."

This integration is now available nationwide, giving districts a unified solution for everyday communication and emergency management that aligns with national safety protocols.
