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.

Coastal Windows & Exteriors Ranks #1 Woman-Owned Remodeler and #4 in New England — Only Roofing Company in the Region's Top 500 on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler List

Beverly, MA exterior remodeling company continues rapid growth among the nation's top remodelers, while securing the #1 position in New England as a woman-owned leader.

BOSTON, MA, October 03, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Coastal Windows & Exteriors has been recognized on the 2025 Qualified Remodeler Top 500, ranking as New England's #1 woman-owned exterior remodeler and the only roofing company in the New England region to make the list. The family-owned company has climbed more than 200 positions in just four years, including a 42-spot jump since last year, to reach #191 nationally and #4 overall in New England. With 842+ verified Google A+ reviews with a 4.8-star rating, Coastal stands apart as the region's most trusted remodeler, delivering award-winning service in roofing, windows, doors and siding.

In an industry increasingly dominated by private equity firms and national franchises, Coastal Windows & Exteriors stands out as a family-owned, woman-led company that has climbed more than 200 spots in just four years. Owner Stephanie Vanderbilt was named Massachusetts Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration — national recognition that underscores Coastal's strength as an independent business competing at the highest level. While women hold only 13% of construction jobs nationwide (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), far fewer lead exterior remodeling firms at this scale. This makes Coastal's achievement as New England's #1 woman-owned remodeler — and the only roofing company in the region's Top 500 — especially significant.
