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.

Author Michele Lamons-Raiford Unveils The Gullah Chronicles
The design features a clean, modern aesthetic with strong typography that highlights the title — “THE GULLAH CHRONICLES” — in bold, capitalized lettering that conveys both strength and reverence. The author’s name, Michele Lamons-Raiford, is displayed clearly, grounding the visual with a professional and literary tone. The cover text situates the book as “Reflections on the Gullah-Geechee Tour in Hilton Head, South Carolina,” signaling a personal yet historical narrative.
The Gullah Chronicles by Michele Lamons-Raiford is a compelling collection of poetic expressions inspired by a transformative writers’ retreat in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Lamons-Raiford captures the beauty, resilience, and legacy of the Gullah-Geechee people—the descendants of West Africans enslaved on the coastal plantations of the Carolinas and Georgia. This powerful reflection bridges history and personal transformation.

Hilton Head, SC - October 8, 2025 - Acclaimed educator and author Michele Lamons-Raiford invites readers into a deeply moving exploration of heritage, resilience, and personal transformation with the release of her newest work, The Gullah Chronicles.

Born from a life-changing writers’ retreat in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in October 2023, The Gullah Chronicles is a stunning collection of essays that interweaves rich storytelling with vivid photography. Lamons-Raiford’s prose captures not only the breathtaking beauty of the Lowcountry landscape but also the enduring spirit and traditions of the Gullah-Geechee people, the descendants of West Africans enslaved on the coastal plantations of the Carolinas and Georgia.

Through her thoughtful reflections, Lamons-Raiford explores the intersections of culture, identity, and belonging. Each piece of prose resonates with both historical reverence and intimate self-discovery, offering readers a rare opportunity to walk alongside her as she honors a people whose legacy continues to shape the cultural fabric of the American South.

“This book is more than a collection of poetic expressions; it is a journey through memory, ancestry, and the unspoken stories that bind us together,” Lamons-Raiford shares.
