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.

"Oscar the Mighty Crab" Makes a Splash - A Whimsical Tale of Curiosity, Courage, and the Comfort of Home

Award-winning children’s author Penny Higgins dives deep into the magic of storytelling with her enchanting new picture book, Oscar the Mighty Crab — a rhythmic, heartwarming adventure that reminds young readers that sometimes, the bravest journeys lead us right back home.

Set in a quiet ocean bay, this delightful tale follows Oscar, a curious young crab who dreams of exploring the world above the waves. Alongside his loyal best friend Tom, Oscar lives peacefully among his family — until one day, his curiosity gets the better of him. Drawn by the shimmering light of the surface, Oscar ventures into the fascinating “upper world,” discovering a place bursting with color, wonder, and excitement.

Fascinated by what he sees, Oscar returns again and again, each time feeling the irresistible pull between the thrill of discovery and the warmth of his underwater home. When a turn of fate sends him tumbling back to the bay, Tom’s gentle guidance helps him rediscover the treasures of friendship, family, and belonging.

Perfect for children aged 4 to 8, the story encourages young readers to dream big, stay curious, and value the connections that make them feel safe and loved.

More than just an undersea adventure, Oscar the Mighty Crab is a poetic celebration of life’s balance — between ambition and belonging, excitement and contentment.
