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.

Sonepar and Klein Tools Donate $8,004 to the Bob Woodruff Foundation





Annual partnership supports veterans and families through proceeds from limited-edition linesman's pliers.

CHARLESTON, SC, July 24, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sonepar and Klein Tools are proud to donate $8,004 to the Bob Woodruff Foundation as part of a collaborative initiative supporting veterans. This contribution marks the culmination of the program's inaugural year, during which a portion of proceeds from each sale of custom Klein Tools pliers was directed to the foundation. These funds help support vital programs for wounded veterans and their families. The limited-edition lineman's pliers, engraved with the American flag, are available exclusively through Sonepar company branches and websites.

"Sonepar and Klein Tools are proving once again that they have the backs of our nation's heroes," said Anne Marie Dougherty, CEO of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. "Our partnership with these great companies has allowed us to fund critical veterans services programs providing housing assistance, mental health care, and job training in communities across America. We are so excited for what the second year of our campaign will mean for our military veterans and their families."

The joint program launched on Veterans Day in 2024 and will continue as an annual partnership to show appreciation for the military community. The patriotic plier design is also a nod to Klein Tools' iconic American-made products.

"We're proud to make this donation to the Bob Woodruff Foundation, which provides aid to the military families who've made so many sacrifices to our country," said Bill Mortimer, Director of Strategic Vendor Engagement for Sonepar. "The partnership between Sonepar, Klein Tools and the Bob Woodruff Foundation is one we hope to grow in the years to come."

As part of Sonepar's larger commitment to the military community, the company has established more than 25 partnerships with military-focused organizations to help integrate veterans, reservists, and military spouses into its workforce. Over the past two years, Sonepar representatives have participated in more than 300 veteran-focused recruiting events, contributing to an increase in military hires. Internally, the Military and Veterans Employee Resource Group (MERGE) provides a strong support network, fostering connection and belonging among its members. In 2024, MERGE furthered its impact by donating $10,000 to the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
