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.

The Untold Story of Publishers Clearing House: New Book “Downfall of an Icon” Explores the Rise, the Fall – And the Hard Truths In Between

Port Washington, New York - In 1953, 72 years ago, Publishers Clearing House was an empire. Its legendary sweepstakes made headlines, its mailers flooded American homes, and its name was synonymous with the dream of instant wealth. But behind the confetti and oversized checks lay a more complex narrative—one of rapid expansion, shifting consumer trust, a Jekyll and Hyde change in management philosophy, and a battle to stay relevant in a digital-first world. In a stunning turn of events, Publishers Clearing House officially filed for bankruptcy just last week—sending shockwaves through an industry built on dreams, sweepstakes, and glossy envelopes.

In Downfall of an Icon, industry veteran Darrell Lester delivers an unfiltered, insider’s account of PCH’s meteoric rise and turbulent decline. With decades of experience inside the company, Lester unpacks the corporate decisions, ethical crossroads, and marketing gambits that defined—and ultimately derailed—one of America’s most recognizable brands.

“This isn’t just a business story—it’s a cautionary tale,” Lester says. “It’s also an entertaining read, woven with unforgettable winner stories, behind-the-scenes Prize Patrol escapades, and outrageous antics of a bold, larger-than-life executive team.”

What Downfall of an Icon Reveals

  • The rise: How PCH revolutionized direct marketing and built an empire.

  • The reckoning: Inside the critical missteps that eroded consumer trust in a startling shift, the company went from being one of America's most beloved to one of its most despised in the blink of an eye.

  • The lessons: What today’s businesses must learn to survive in an era of disruption.

  • For those drawn to the intersection of business and culture, or anyone craving insider insight, Downfall of an Icon is a sharp, must-read exploration.

About the Author

Darrell Lester’s story is one of grit and evolution. Starting at PCH in an entry-level role straight out of college, he worked his way up to Senior VP. He’s the only person alive who knows the full story—the wins, the setbacks, and messes no one talks about. Having witnessed firsthand the dramatic shifts in consumer engagement and corporate philosophy, Lester offers a powerful mix of candid analysis and gripping storytelling that pulls back the curtain on an industry that descended into chaos and bankruptcy while leaving PCH as one of the few still standing.
