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.

Emotional Intelligence, Not IQ, Drives Career Success in Gifted Individuals, New Insights Show

While IQ has long been seen as the key to success, new evidence suggests that emotional intelligence (EQ), not IQ, may be the true driver of career achievement—especially for gifted individuals.

SAN FRANCISICO, CA, May 30, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/

Gifted Minds, Real Struggles
Many gifted people experience social and emotional difficulties that limit their success. According to the Studybay survey, 72% of students believe that gifted learners are not given enough intellectual challenges during their time in school but differentiated instruction and project-based activities can help. These steps make sure gifted students stay engaged and grow, just like everyone else.

A 2020 meta-analysis found that gifted students scored moderately higher in EQ than their non-gifted peers. It also showed that gifted girls scored higher in emotional intelligence than gifted boys.

Some studies from the article Why Do Geniuses Perform Worse? points out that having a high IQ does not always lead to success. Many gifted people struggle in real-life situations because they lack emotional and social skills. Being "smart" is not the same as being good with people.

EQ: The True Predictor of Success
Multiple studies support the claim that emotional intelligence matters more than IQ in the workplace. According to a Harvard Business Review article based on research by Dr. Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence—emotional intelligence accounts for the difference between high and low performers in leadership roles. IQ may get someone into the job—but EQ determines how far they go.

Another major study published in 2024 found that employees with high emotional intelligence had better job satisfaction, lower stress and stronger peer relationships—all are key to long-term success.

Key To Career Success Today
Emotional intelligence means understanding your own feelings—and the feelings of others. It is about knowing what you feel (self-awareness), staying calm under pressure (self-regulation), staying focused (motivation) and caring about others (empathy)—and bonding well with people (social skills).

These are not just nice-to-have traits. They are essential in today's workplaces—where teamwork and clear communication are everything. But they matter just as much in our schools, too.

A survey by Studybay reveals that 65% of people believe teachers are not fully prepared to recognize or support gifted students, especially in classrooms with a mix of learning levels.

With better tools and training, educators can spot emotional needs early and help every student grow, both in knowledge and confidence.

EQ Is The Skill Of The Future
According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report, emotional intelligence is among the top 10 job skills employers look for. As automation and AI handle more technical tasks—human-centric skills like empathy and communication are becoming even more essential.

Even top business schools now teach emotional intelligence as part of leadership training. Whether it is managing conflict or staying calm under pressure, emotional intelligence is what turns knowledge into success.
