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.

Stephanie Vanderbilt of Coastal Windows & Exteriors Featured on SBA Website as a National Success Story One Year After Winning SBA's Massachusetts Business Person of the Year





Recognized for building a top-performing home improvement company from scratch, Stephanie Vanderbilt's entrepreneurial journey is now featured by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a model of small business success.

BEVERLY, MA, April 16, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Just one year after receiving the prestigious title of 2024 Massachusetts Small Business Person of the Year, Vanderbilt's inspiring entrepreneurial journey is being shared nationwide. Starting with no prior experience in home improvement, she launched her company in 2011 with nothing more than a desk above a warehouse and a powerful mission: to help homeowners make smarter, energy-efficient upgrades.

Early in her journey, Vanderbilt sought guidance from the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center (MSBDC), gaining valuable insights in finance, marketing, and business planning.

"I had no background in home improvement, but I knew I wanted to educate homeowners on energy efficiency," said Vanderbilt. "MSBDC provided the support I needed to grow Coastal Windows & Exteriors into the company it is today."

From humble beginnings, the company has now grown to more than 30 employees and continues to serve communities across Eastern Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Southern Maine. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is celebrated not only for its high-performance products—roofing, siding, windows, and doors—but also for its deep commitment to social responsibility. Programs like Roof for Heroes and the Freedom from Want Thanksgiving Project underscore Vanderbilt's mission to give back.

As a woman-owned, family-run business, Coastal Windows & Exteriors has earned multiple accolades, including the GAF President's Club Award, James Hardie Service Excellence Award, and BONS Editors' Choice Award.

Vanderbilt's feature on the SBA website reinforces her continued role as a leader in sustainable building practices, small business development, and women's empowerment in the trades.
