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.

A Living Buddha in Texas?





Inside the Rare Female-Led Monastery Quietly Transforming Spiritual Life in America

HOUSTON, TX, July 01, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a quiet corner of Sugar Land, Texas, just outside the hum of Houston, sits a spiritual sanctuary unlike any other. At the Universal Door Meditation Center (Thiền Viện Phổ Môn), visitors don't just practice meditation. They step into the presence of Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien, a rare female spiritual leader recognized by students across the world as a living Buddha.

As wellness trends continue to flood social media with curated calm and surface-level self-care, this monastery offers something far more powerful: direct experience.

"Each person is a droplet of water, flowing together like a river," shares Thich Dieu Thien. "The river finds its way back to the Source, flowing into the immense Ocean."

Here, Zen isn't something you study. It's something you live.

A Different Kind of Retreat

At Universal Door, every moment becomes part of the practice. Walking. Eating. Speaking. Even washing dishes. Visitors are invited to experience the Unborn Mind, a deep, unshakable awareness beyond stress, fear, and thought. This is not a place for escape. It's a place to wake up.

"We don't offer distraction here," says one longtime student. "We offer freedom. Even joy. The real kind."

Unlike commercial retreats focused on temporary peace, the teachings at Universal Door offer clarity that carries into everyday life.

Youth & Teen Summer Retreat: July 21–25

This July, Universal Door will host a five-day retreat for youth and teens, ages 10 to 18. Guided by Thich Dieu Thien, the retreat helps participants let go of performance pressure and digital noise. Instead, they are supported in returning to a calm, clear awareness that builds emotional stability and self-trust.

Retreat Fee: $500, includes meals and accommodations
Location: Universal Door Meditation Center, 15202 Dora Lane, Sugar Land, TX
RSVP: (281) 565–9718

Media visits and on-site interviews are available by request.

Why This Story Is Timely

This is a rare opportunity to spotlight:
A respected Vietnamese American woman in spiritual leadership
A monastery led by a living Buddha, open to the public
A Houston-area retreat center rooted in authenticity and service
Gen Z's growing hunger for spiritual connection and emotional clarity

Universal Door is more than a meditation center. It's a living example of what awakening looks like in real life.
