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.

Thomas F. McLoughlin’s “Atlas of Pennsylvanian Age Plant Fossils” Unearths Prehistoric Wonders

United States - Thomas F. McLoughlin's "Atlas of Pennsylvanian (Carboniferous) Age Plant Fossils of the Central Appalachian Coal Fields - Volume 2" is a fascinating journey into a world before dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Published in 2018, this comprehensive guide offers an in-depth look at plant fossils from the coal horizons of Southwest Virginia and Southeast Kentucky, serving as a virtual field guide for enthusiasts and scholars alike.

The book aims to provide a non-technical exploration of palaeobotany, making it accessible and enjoyable for readers as young as ten years old. McLoughlin's work is a testament to his passion for the subject, as he shares his extensive knowledge and experience in a format that is both educational and engaging.

"Plant fossils that date back before the time of the dinosaurs offer us a glimpse into a world long gone," says McLoughlin. "This book is designed to be a comprehensive guide, grouping fossils by names, coal seam horizons, and locations, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of our planet."

The "Atlas" is filled with high-quality photographs, detailed drawings in color, charts, and a variety of fossil examples that bring the ancient vegetation to life. McLoughlin's dedication to the subject is evident in the care he has taken to ensure that each fossil is presented with clarity and context.

Readers have praised the "Atlas" for its excellent information and enjoyable narrative. "Well written, in a clear, organized way, it communicates some of the author's comfort with and enthusiasm about his favorite subject," says Raymond Dobbins, a verified Amazon reviewer.

The book is perfect for libraries, schools, children's "Show 'n' Tell" activities, rock hound clubs, and anyone with an interest in paleontology. It's not just a book; it's a tool for understanding the plants of the past, as noted by parent and reviewer Bill Clark, who appreciates the detailed descriptions and images when exploring plant fossils with his children.

"I'm not just cataloging fossils; I'm telling the story of Earth's ancient flora," McLoughlin shares. "My wife, Beth, has been incredibly supportive, despite our home being overrun with fossil specimens at times. Her relief was palpable when I donated the collection to museums, but the journey we've shared through these fossils has been priceless."

The "Atlas of Pennsylvanian Age Plant Fossils" stands out as a unique and valuable contribution to the field of paleobotany. It's a work that not only educates but also inspires a sense of wonder about the natural world.

Thomas F. McLoughlin's "Atlas" is available for purchase, and readers can delve into the prehistoric world of plant fossils by visiting the author's page on Amazon.
