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.

Scott Asner Shares Tips for Preventing Seasonal Pests as Fall Approaches

Scott Asner, Kansas City real estate investor and Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, is sharing practical pest-prevention tips for homeowners and renters as fall approaches.

LEAWOOD, KS, September 15, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Scott Asner, KC real estate investor and Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, today shared some practical advice to help property owners and renters prepare their homes and apartments before pest problems take hold.

With cooler weather on the horizon, many Kansas City residents are looking forward to crisp mornings, fall festivals, and colorful foliage. Unfortunately, the change of seasons also means that pests such as ants, spiders, and rodents begin searching for warm, sheltered environments indoors.

"As temperatures drop, pests naturally look for safe places to nest and store food," said Scott Asner. "Once they are inside, it can be difficult and costly to remove them. The best approach is to take preventive steps in advance."

Scott recommends a few key strategies that can make a big difference in keeping pests at bay:

1. Seal entry points thoroughly. Small cracks or gaps around windows, doors, and foundations are the most common ways pests get inside. Inspect your home's exterior carefully, paying special attention to areas where utility lines enter. Adding weatherstripping and caulking where needed provides both pest protection and energy efficiency benefits.
2. Keep food properly stored. Rodents and insects are drawn to easily accessible food. Store dry goods such as cereals and grains in airtight containers, and avoid leaving fruit or baked goods uncovered on counters. Wiping down surfaces promptly and taking out the trash regularly further reduces the attraction.
3. Reduce clutter inside and outside. Stacks of cardboard, paper, or firewood can become hiding places for pests. Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from your home, and avoid piling up boxes in basements or garages. A tidy environment makes it more difficult for pests to settle in.
4. Address moisture concerns. Many pests, including roaches and silverfish, thrive in damp environments. Fix leaky faucets, ensure gutters and downspouts are clear, and use dehumidifiers in basements or other moisture-prone areas to discourage pests.
5. Schedule seasonal maintenance. Regular inspections of HVAC systems, roofing, and insulation can uncover small issues before they become larger problems. Many pest control services also offer seasonal checkups to identify vulnerabilities.

"Proactive steps now will save both time and money later," Scott Asner explained. "I always encourage residents to view pest prevention as part of their overall home maintenance plan, just like changing air filters or checking smoke detectors."

In addition to protecting the home itself, Scott emphasizes that pest prevention contributes to healthier living conditions. Rodents and insects can carry allergens and bacteria that affect air quality and overall well-being, making preventive care even more important for families and individuals.

"I hope these tips will help Kansas City residents enjoy everything fall has to offer without the stress of unwanted pests," Asner said. "A little preparation today ensures that your home remains safe, comfortable, and welcoming throughout the season."
