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.

Oak Manor Fragrances Continues Two-Decade Legacy as Missouri’s Premier Destination for European Niche Perfumery

Oak Manor Fragrances Continues Two-Decade Legacy as Missouri's Premier Destination for European Niche Perfumery
Taking over from my wife's parents wasn't just acquiring a business—it was accepting the responsibility to continue a legacy of bringing extraordinary fragrances to customers who understand that scent is an art form.
Husband and wife team preserve and expand family fragrance boutique in small-town Missouri, importing exclusive brands like Fragonard, Carriere Freres, and Rance 1795. The second-generation owners maintain the boutique's reputation as the Midwest's hidden gem for discerning fragrance collectors seeking authentic European perfumery.

Oak Manor Fragrances stands as an unexpected treasure in small-town Missouri, where a husband and wife team has taken the reins of a beloved family business that has served fragrance connoisseurs for over two decades. The boutique, now in its second generation of family ownership, has earned recognition as one of the Midwest's most sophisticated destinations for authentic European and niche perfumery, offering brands rarely found outside major metropolitan areas.

The transition from first to second generation ownership represents both continuity and evolution. The original founders, the current female owner's parents, spent a decade cultivating relationships with exclusive fragrance houses and educating customers about the artistry of fine perfumery. When the younger generation assumed ownership, they inherited not just inventory and supplier relationships, but a reputation for expertise and curation that had taken years to establish. This foundation has enabled them to expand the boutique's reach while maintaining the personal service and deep knowledge that defines Oak Manor Fragrances.

The boutique's carefully curated selection reads like a who's who of prestigious European perfume houses. Fragonard, the historic Grasse-based parfumeur dating to 1926, brings the essence of the French Riviera to Missouri through perfumes crafted using traditional methods. Carriere Freres, established in 1884, offers botanical fragrances that merge French savoir-faire with responsible sourcing. Feret Parfumeur represents contemporary French perfumery with compositions that balance tradition and innovation. Rance 1795, one of France's oldest perfume houses, provides fragrances with noble heritage and uncompromising quality. Christian Tortu, the renowned Parisian florist turned perfumer, creates scents that capture the poetry of nature through a designer's sensibility.

The challenge of operating a luxury fragrance boutique in a small Missouri town has become Oak Manor's unique advantage. Without the overhead costs of major city retail spaces, the boutique can invest more heavily in inventory depth and customer education. The owners personally test and select every fragrance, ensuring that each addition to their collection meets exacting standards for quality, originality, and artistic merit. This hands-on approach extends to customer service, where consultations often resemble educational experiences rather than simple transactions.

Digital commerce has expanded Oak Manor's influence far beyond Missouri's borders. The website, oakmanorfragrances.com, serves customers nationwide who seek alternatives to mass-market fragrances but lack access to specialized boutiques. Social media presence through @oakmanorfragrances provides a platform for fragrance education, featuring scent profiles, layering suggestions, and the stories behind historic perfume houses. This online engagement has created a community of fragrance enthusiasts who view Oak Manor as a trusted curator in an industry often dominated by marketing rather than artistry.

The boutique's success challenges conventional retail wisdom about luxury goods distribution. By proving that sophisticated consumers exist everywhere, not just in coastal cities, Oak Manor Fragrances has become a case study in specialized retail success. The owners' commitment to education has created demand where none previously existed, transforming casual shoppers into knowledgeable collectors who appreciate the difference between commercial fragrances and artisanal perfumery.
