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.

Family Meal Delivers Real Conversations from the Heart of the Restaurant Industry in New YouTube Series





A new docu-series spotlighting the people, culture, and community that fuel restaurant life.

CHICAGO, IL, April 29, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Family Meal, a new documentary-style YouTube series created by Bottle Rocket Media and hosted by food journalist Ari Bendersky, offers a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what really happens inside restaurants beyond the menu and media spotlight.

Rather than focusing on fame or dramatized chaos, Family Meal features honest, roundtable conversations with chefs, GMs, sommeliers, line cooks, and other hospitality pros. Each episode is filmed inside a real restaurant, revealing the culture, teamwork, and quiet rituals that define modern restaurant life.

The show's namesake is at the center of each episode: the family meal; a pre-service tradition where teams pause to share food, decompress, and reconnect. Often unknown or misunderstood by diners, the family meal is a moment of reflection and camaraderie that reminds restaurant workers why they do what they do.

"This show is a love letter to the people who make hospitality happen," says Bendersky. "We're not just talking about food, we're talking about mentorship, burnout, grit, creativity, and the family dynamic that forms behind the scenes."

The debut episode features Chicago's West Town Restaurant, Brasero, where Chef John Manion and his team explore the highs and lows of life in the industry. The episode centers on shared experiences and the everyday family meal that turns coworkers into a chosen family.

"I've had this concept in my head for years," says Brett Singer, Executive Producer and Principal of Bottle Rocket Media. "I'm not a chef or a foodie, I just deeply respect the people who hold this industry together. This show was born from wanting to show the craft, the chaos, and the community of restaurant life from the inside out."

Created for Hospitality Professionals, Industry Insiders and Foodies
The Family Meal audience spans the hospitality spectrum from back-of-house kitchen staff and general managers to vendors, hospitality leaders, and industry partners. It also resonates with everyday food lovers who want a deeper, more authentic understanding of the people behind the plates.

- Food & beverage media audiences
- Hospitality brands & service vendors

- Workers across every level of the industry, from prep to plate
