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.

When the Government Calls, Don’t Expect a Retirement Party – Bob Kawka’s ‘Why Me?’ Delivers Sci-Fi, Suspense, and Laugh-Out-Loud Twists

When the Government Calls, Don’t Expect a Retirement Party - Bob Kawka’s ‘Why Me?’ Delivers Sci-Fi, Suspense, and Laugh-Out-Loud Twists

What unfolds when an ordinary man with retirement plans is suddenly pulled from his calm life and thrown into a chaos of mind games, secret missions, and helicopter rescues? Bob Kawka’s new sci-fi adventure, Why Me?, offers a humorous and unpredictable ride that’s as much about survival as discovering your true self and understanding why the universe keeps choosing you for strange jobs.

Synopsis

Tom Roberts believed his life couldn’t get any stranger until a mysterious phone call suddenly plunges him into the middle of “Project Pyramid,” a top-secret operation with unclear rules. What seemed like a simple task quickly turns into a bizarre gauntlet of booby traps, questionable alliances, and bureaucrats who make spy agencies seem like summer camp counselors.

Armed with nothing more than stubbornness and a dash of charm, Tom must confront a rival he doubts, a stealth expert who can outsmart a shadow, and a rising number of questions with no obvious solutions. As the danger intensifies from uncomfortable to life-threatening, Tom needs to determine whether he’s in too deep or exactly where destiny intended him to be.

About the Author

Bob Kawka retired in 2002 after a rewarding career teaching students with special needs. He now resides with his wife, Elaine, in Port Orange, Florida. In retirement, he channels his creativity into writing and making custom pens, merging humor, craftsmanship, and storytelling in each piece. His latest work, ‘Why Me?’, showcases his skill in combining compelling plots with humorous, laugh-out-loud moments.

What Makes This Book Stand Out?

‘Why Me?’ distinguishes itself in modern sci-fi by combining intense intrigue with absurd humor, crafting a story that explores human quirks and covert conspiracies. Rather than focusing solely on technology or apocalyptic themes, Bob Kawka presents a relatable, reluctant hero involved in a secret government project, with chaos, wit, and chemistry propelling the narrative.

Key Features

- A Reluctant Hero: Tom Roberts is a relatable character you root for, embodying a mix of confusion, bravery, and sarcasm.

- Humor Meets High Stakes: Enjoy humor as the tension heightens with witty, satirical commentary on government secrecy and covert operations.

- Unexpected Allies & Rivals: The cast ranges from clever yet sneaky operatives to charismatically irritating bureaucrats, making them as unpredictable as the storyline itself.

- Fast-Paced, Twisty Plot: A thrilling journey through hidden facilities, risky missions, and strange encounters.

Author's Quote

"A voice on his cell phone had said, ‘Your name is Tom Roberts. You have a wife named Mary and a son who graduated from State. You are being activated under Project Pyramid. For the sake of your country, wife, and your son, please get on the chopper that just landed. If not, your lives will be in danger. This is not a joke, but for real. We can discuss your part in it soon, but you must get on that chopper now!’" – Bob Kawka

Call to Action

‘Why Me?’ is set to be launched soon in paperback and eBook formats on Amazon and other mainstream book platforms. Immerse yourself in Tom Roberts’ world, but be ready to navigate mind games, question authority, and enjoy a humorous journey through an unexpected mission.

Make sure to grab your copy upon launch and find out why the universe might just choose you next.

About the Book

‘Why Me?’ combines clever humor, ridiculous scenarios, and intense sci-fi suspense. It’s a tale where espionage meets comedy, and a witty remark could be the most powerful weapon. Fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and satirical spy stories will find much to enjoy. And plenty to laugh about.
