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.

Skiptown Unleashes Franchising Opportunity With New Model, Tapping Into the Thriving Pet Services Category





New franchising arm of the business now available for pup-loving entrepreneurs

CHARLOTTE, NC, October 08, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Skiptown, a first-of-its-kind, tech-enabled pet care facility offering dog daycare, boarding, full-service grooming, and dog walking, has launched franchising to expand its national footprint. Building on a strong foundation of corporate-owned locations in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Denver, the brand now invites entrepreneurs to join its fast-growing, premium concept.

The timing aligns with industry trends. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly half of U.S. households have a dog—nearly 90 million in total—making dogs the dominant household pet and fueling demand for specialized care.

"We're proud to announce that Skiptown is now open for franchising, marking an exciting new chapter in our growth as we expand to meet the rising demand for personalized pet care," said Mike Rotondo, CEO of Skiptown. "Skiptown brings an unparalleled standard of care in the pet industry, featuring our proprietary technology that enables convenient in-car drop-off and pick-up, as well as easy customization of appointments. Our highly trained team is well-equipped to extend Skiptown's premium experience to new markets at an affordable cost, putting pups and their people first."

As part of its franchise launch, Skiptown is introducing new facility prototypes designed to deliver its signature services in dog daycare, boarding, grooming, and dog walking. The company is initially targeting growth in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Chief Development Officer Patti Rother, who brings extensive experience in scaling franchise brands, is leading the company's franchise growth strategy.

"Skiptown has demonstrated strong unit and growth performance and is entering franchising with proven programs and technology that set us apart in the industry," Rother said. "We've already welcomed more than 50,000 dogs in our three corporate locations, and we see a significant opportunity ahead to share the benefits of Skiptown with more pups and their people across the country."

Skiptown is already seeing strong early interest in its franchising opportunity. The company is set to host its initial Meet the Team Day in Atlanta on October 22, welcoming prospective franchise candidates from multiple states. This response highlights the brand's building momentum and that their first three locations are a launchpad for further growth.
