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.

Mother/Daughter Honor Vascular Birthmarks Through Co-authored Children’s Book to honor Vascular Birthmark Awareness

Valley Mother and Daughter Raise Awareness for Vascular Birthmarks in New Children’s Book.

PHOENIX, AZ - Annually, one in ten infants are born in the U.S. with a birthmark, also called a vascular anomaly. According to Vascular Birthmarks Foundation (VBF), of the 40,000 children impacted each year, nearly 70 percent require some form of intervention by a medical specialist.

Recent high school graduate, Jessica Alexander, was one of those children 18 years ago. Her parents struggled to get information on her prominent birthmark and find support for their daughter. Her mother, Erica Maxwell, recalls, “When Jessica was eight years old, we were walking to a soccer field for a playdate. My heart sank when she told me her birthmark was ugly, she didn’t like it, and she knew I thought it was ugly too.” As a concerned parent and a certified educator for more than 25 years, Erica was determined to learn more about birthmarks and to inform others of their potential impact on children and their families.

It took nearly a decade before the family found relief through meeting Toni C. Stockton, M.D., FAAD of Stockton Dermatology in Phoenix. Dr. Stockton determined Jessica’s birthmark was Nevus of Ota, a hyperpigmentation that occurs on the face, most often appearing on the white of the eye, which explained the two spots on Jessica’s right eye.

“Beauty with a Birthmark” is a new children’s book by this mother-daughter duo that lovingly captures Jessica’s childhood experiences with a distinct facial birthmark. They co-authored the book to elevate and celebrate the beauty of Jessica’s birthmark journey through stories highlighting self-love, resilience,  and diversity.

Dr. Stockton said, “Birthmarks highlight a person’s individuality, and this book shows their importance.”

“This delightful book is vital for building children’s self-esteem as they learn to fully embrace themselves and what makes them unique. It's an integral part of any home library as an important child development tool that teaches empathy, understanding, and acceptance - key character traits that can greatly reduce the likelihood of bullying," said Dr. Judith Outten, a licensed and board-certified Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at Springfield Psychological in Philadelphia.

Signed copies of “Beauty With a Birthmark” are available for a limited time at Barnes and Noble, Chandler Mall, 3111 W. Chandler Blvd. Chandler, Arizona.

Books are available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Erica and Jessica are available for book signings, speaking, and other events; a teaching guide will also be available this fall.
