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.

Akshay Harlalka Recognized for Excellence in Precision Machine Design and Advanced Manufacturing





From India to Silicon Valley, Mr. Harlalka's journey exemplifies the impact of high-skilled immigrants on America's continued leadership in advanced technology.

SAN JOSE, CA, June 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Akshay D. Harlalka has been honored with inclusion in Marquis Who's Who, a distinction reserved for individuals recognized for exceptional professional achievements, influence, and lasting contributions to their field.

Born in Jagdishpur, a rural town in India, Mr. Harlalka graduated top of his class in Mechanical Engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology, earning the University Gold Medal. After spending a year doing research at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, he went on to earn a master's degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supported by scholarships from MIT and the KC Mahindra Education Trust. At MIT, he specialized in precision machine design and conducted research under Professor Alexander Slocum in the Precision Engineering Research Group.

Mr. Harlalka began his career at ASML, where he contributed to the development of high-throughput lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. He co-invented in-situ cleaning systems—patented in the U.S. and Taiwan—that significantly reduced fab equipment downtime, saving millions in operational costs. He also led the development of reticle slip limiter technology that enabled lithography machines to achieve industry-leading throughput. He later joined the CTO Office at Applied Materials, where he led the development of precision lithium delivery systems for next-generation battery electrode manufacturing.

Currently, Mr. Harlalka is a Staff Mechanical Engineer at Atomic Machines Inc., where he leads the development of 3D inspection systems for MEMS applications. Over his career, he has received several accolades including MIT's Great Dome Award—the highest honor from the MIT Alumni Association. His peer-reviewed research is widely cited, reflecting its significance in the field.

He credits his success to technical curiosity and a passion for solving meaningful problems. Outside of work, he leads public service initiatives like LifeStream—India's first geocoded blood availability map—and mentors aspiring engineers through the MIT Alumni Advisors Hub. His website blog reflects his enthusiasm for mechanical engineering through practical insights and real-world problem-solving.
