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.

The Dairy Alliance and Georgia Milk Team Up to Bring Innovative Solutions to School Milk

Partnership invests $200,000 to expand bulk milk dispensers in Georgia schools

ATLANTA, GA, October 08, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Dairy Alliance, a nonprofit funded by dairy farm families in the Southeast, has partnered with Georgia Milk Producers, Inc. (Georgia Milk) to innovatively provide real dairy milk to students across Georgia. The initiative, supported by a $200,000 commitment from Georgia Milk, helps schools improve the milk experience in cafeterias statewide by funding approximately 30 bulk milk dispensers, enhancing the school milk experience while reducing waste from single-use cartons.

Dairy farmers' dedication ensures milk remains a staple in school nutrition. Their commitment to nourishing our children is unwavering. "School feeding programs are critical to ensuring our children are building strong bones and healthy immune systems," said Matt Johnson, President of Georgia Milk's Board of Directors and a dairy farmer from Climax, Georgia. "Our dairy farmers are investing in these programs to cultivate healthier school environments and get students excited about drinking milk."

The Dairy Alliance's Youth Wellness staff works closely with school nutrition directors to promote the benefits of milk and dairy foods. The $200,000 in funding removes a major barrier for schools by covering the cost of bulk milk dispensers and the necessary equipment to maintain them.

"The Dairy Alliance's Dairy Optimization grants encourage schools to explore new ways to deliver nutritious dairy products to students," said Will McWhirter, Youth Wellness Manager for Georgia. While traditional milk cartons have served students well for decades, bulk milk dispensers offer a better school meal experience – providing delicious milk in a cup, reducing packaging waste, and supporting sustainability goals.

Roughly three-quarters of children aged two through eighteen do not consume the daily recommended amount of real dairy. Data collected from a milk dispenser pilot in Tennessee, reported that the combined average milk consumption rose 29% and the combined waste declined 14 points when milk is served from dispensers. Schools receiving milk dispenser grants across the Southeast have consistently reported an average increase of at least 14% in the movement of milk.

And let's not forget what's inside that cup of milk. Real dairy milk delivers 13 essential nutrients – including calcium, vitamin D, potassium plus high-quality protein. These nutrients fuel energy, support learning throughout the day and are critical for growth and development. When we put milk on every tray and the students drink it, we invest in the health and success of every child.

School nutrition directors and administrators interested in installing bulk milk dispensers in their cafeterias can contact The Dairy Alliance for more information about the grant program at wmcwhirter@thedairyalliance.com
