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.

Fresh Voice in Historical Fiction: Shara Moon Launches Debut Novel Let Us March On with “Hidden Figure” Elizabeth McDuffie

Fresh Voice in Historical Fiction: Shara Moon Launches Debut Novel Let Us March On with "Hidden Figure" Elizabeth McDuffie
Novel Sheds Light on the True Story of White House Maid Turned Activist Elizabeth “Lizzie” McDuffie and Her Pivotal Role in the Civil Rights Movement During FDR’s Four-Term Presidency.

Shara Moon, an emerging voice in historical fiction, has announced the debut of her first novel, Let Us March On. This meticulously researched work, releasing on February 4, 2025, uncovers the fascinating life of Elizabeth “Lizzie” McDuffie, a White House maid who served under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The story, inspired by real events, explores McDuffie’s role as a “hidden figure” who provided a crucial line of communication between the African American community and the presidency.

Shara Moon’s novel focuses on Lizzie McDuffie’s journey from her early ambitions to her significant responsibilities in the White House. When she boldly identified herself as “secretary on colored people’s affairs” for President Roosevelt, she became more than a devoted staff member. She acted as an intermediary, ensuring that concerns from the Black community reached the highest levels of government. Her dedication and courage shed fresh light on the “political migration” of African American voters during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency, drawing them in greater numbers to the Democratic Party. Through vivid descriptions and carefully crafted narratives, Let Us March On offers a portrayal of Lizzie McDuffie’s life that highlights her tireless commitment to justice, her devotion to her husband Irvin McDuffie (FDR’s personal valet), and the broader historical context of her life during the Great Depression and the upsurge of racial violence.

Although Lizzie McDuffie’s efforts occurred behind the scenes, her influence on domestic policy and voter realignment was significant. Historical records suggest that her forthright nature both impressed and sometimes unsettled President Roosevelt, who often applauded her fortitude while cautioning her about the challenges they all faced. The novel examines Lizzie’s personal struggles, including marital strains and confrontations with racial inequality, casting her as a reluctant yet effective activist who found her calling within the corridors of power.

The book has already garnered praise from noted authors. In an early review, New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn recognizes the impact of Shara Moon’s debut, describing the novel as a “quietly compelling portrait of a woman in the shadows, at last stepping into the light,” and noting how its resonant themes will linger in readers’ minds. Award-winning author Vanessa Riley, known for Island Queen and Sister Mother Warrior, commends Let Us March On for its portrayal of an unsung heroine who boldly appointed herself FDR’s “secretary on colored people’s affairs.” Riley emphasizes that the novel’s engaging style and intimate correspondence allow readers to discover McDuffie’s courage and vital historical contribution.

According to Shara Moon, the goal has always been to tell stories that honor forgotten figures of American history in a natural and compelling way. The author describes Let Us March On as a testament to the resilience of individuals who have too often gone unnoticed or unmentioned, but whose legacies continue to impact us today.

Let Us March On is available for pre-order on all major platforms. For more details visit here.
