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.

UNCF CHICAGO HOSTS 42ND ANNUAL UNCF WALK FOR EDUCATION THIS SATURDAY AT BURNHAM PARK





Chicago's longest-running walk for education enters its 42nd year with a call to action: more students need support than ever.

CHICAGO, IL, September 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On September 13, 2025, the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) will hold its 42nd Annual Chicago Walk for Education. The event kicks off at 9:00 a.m. at Burnham Park at 39th and South Dusable Lake Shore Drive.

"For every one kid we give a scholarship to, there are five more who need it," said Lisa Rollins, UNCF Development Director. "We know for a fact that the average $5000 scholarship can, for a first-generation college student, singularly change the life of their family. That's why events like this are so important."

The UNCF Walk for Education serves as UNCF's premier grassroots fundraising initiative, providing crucial support to the colleges, universities, and students it serves through the contributions of individuals, corporations, and various group donors. Event participants can register for a 5K walk/run or a 10K bike/skate on their own, join a team, or form their own team online at uncf.org/chicagowalk or on-site, starting at 7:00 am on race day. There will be plenty of music, dancing, food, and fun for the whole family.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle will chair the Walk, which will be emceed by Omni Channel Radio Personality Davante "Stone Pony" Stone, along with media personalities Frankie Robinson and Tamera Fair. The 2025 Walk honors Grand Marshals, including Dr. Macquline King, Interim Superintendent/CEO of Chicago Public Schools; Reggie Summerise, President of the National Pan-Hellenic Council Chicago; Lady Vynessa Alexander of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc.; Donavon Isaac "JukieThaKidd," DJ and community influencer; and media personality Frankie Robinson. The Chicago chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, led by Reggie Summerise, is partnering to mobilize its Divine Nine organizations in support of scholarships and educational opportunities.

The UNCF's top priority is to increase the total number of underrepresented college graduates by focusing on activities that ensure more students are college-ready, enroll in college, and continue to graduation.

To register for the event, please visit www.UNCF.org/chicagowalk. For more information and sponsorship opportunities, contact UNCF at 312-845-2200. Follow us on social media: #LaceUp4UNCF, #UNCFChicago, and @UNCFChicago.
