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.

In the AI era, Wild Fox Ridge, an acclaimed Asian Novel by Xuemo Blending Love and Wisdom, has been honored with the 2025 International Book Award





Wild Fox Ridge marks a turning point in Xuemo's literary journey, transitioning from his earlier realist works—such as The Desert Trilogy—to a narrative style that blends historical storytelling with mystical elements.

NEW YORK, NY, June 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Recently, American Book Fest announced the winners and finalists of THE 2025 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS (IBA), one of the world's largest international book award programs for mainstream, indie, and self-published titles. Among them, Wild Fox Ridge, the English edition of Chinese author Xuemo's novel, stood out from a fiercely competitive global field and won top honors in the Historical Fiction category.

Translated by renowned sinologists Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-chun Lin, and published by Ruxue International Media, Wild Fox Ridge had already garnered significant attention earlier this year. In February, it won the 2025 International Impact Book Award and topped Amazon's bestseller lists multiple times. Xuemo was invited to attend the awards ceremony held in Phoenix, Arizona, as a guest of honor.

Wild Fox Ridge marks a turning point in Xuemo's literary journey, transitioning from his earlier realist works—such as The Desert Trilogy—to a narrative style that blends historical storytelling with mystical elements. The novel reconstructs a forgotten myth from China's West, unraveling the mysterious disappearance of two camel caravans a century ago. Told through 28 ghostly monologues, the story revives the legendary lives of the camel riders in what critics have hailed as "a reconstruction of the Western mythos."

Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of the Book Festival, noted that this year's competition received thousands of submissions from authors and publishers worldwide, across nearly 100 categories. The selection process was rigorous and multi-staged, culminating in the final announcement of award recipients. As one of the most influential honors for both traditionally and independently published books, the International Book Awards recognizes outstanding works published between 2020 and 2025, and are considered among the highest accolades in North American publishing.

This award not only affirms Xuemo's personal literary achievement but also reflects the rising global recognition of Chinese literature, strengthening the cultural bridge between East and West.

The judging panel included representatives from prominent publishers such as HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Wiley, Hachette, Rowman & Littlefield, Wipf and Stock, Routledge, Hay House, HCI Press, Minotaur, Inner Traditions, Greenleaf Book Group, She Writes Press, Ideapress Publishing, Kogan Page, Johns Hopkins University Press, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, National Galley of Victoria and hundreds of national and international Independent Houses contribute to this year's Outstanding Competition!, alongside hundreds of independent publishers from around the world.

This week, the Book Festival committee will launch a promotional campaign for Wild Fox Ridge, aiming to bring the novel to an even broader international audience. This initiative is expected to reach well beyond the festival's current following of 132,000 readers, further amplifying the book's global influence.
