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.

Rising from the Projects to Purpose: Speedy Sheppard’s Mission to Inspire and Transform Lives

Rising from the Projects to Purpose: Speedy Sheppard’s Mission to Inspire and Transform Lives
Speedy Sheppard in 2024 on the Raw Success Podcast
Founded in 2017, The Speedy Tribe empowers individuals through motivational content, coaching, and restorative community work—helping people break cycles, discover purpose, and rise into their best selves.

Passaic, NJ - Bryan C. Sheppard Jr., affectionately known as Speedy Sheppard, is a motivational speaker, life coach, and community leader whose remarkable journey from adversity to impact is touching lives across the nation. As the founder of The Speedy Tribe, Sheppard is dedicated to helping others overcome hardship and unlock their true potential.

Who Is Speedy Sheppard?

Born and raised in the Aspen Place Projects of Passaic, New Jersey, Sheppard's childhood was marked by extreme challenges—including homelessness and the tragic loss of two siblings. At just 7 years old, he turned to football as an outlet for his pain and found his passion.

From 2009 to 2012, Sheppard played football and ran track at Passaic High School, serving as team captain in both sports. His leadership earned him the school's first-ever “Coaches Award”—a defining moment that fueled his dream of playing at the collegiate level. That dream came true at Post University, where he competed in sprint football and track from 2013 to 2016. He graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management and made the Dean’s List.

In 2019, Sheppard played semi-pro football with the New York Bears, an experience that led to an international opportunity in Iceland. After 16 years in the sport, he retired in 2020, closing one chapter and opening another.

The Birth of The Speedy Tribe

The deaths of his brother in 2014 and sister in 2017 led Sheppard into a period of deep reflection. He realized his purpose extended beyond football. In late 2017, with only an iPhone 6s, he recorded his first motivational YouTube video—marking the beginning of The Speedy Tribe.

His message quickly resonated. During the pandemic, his viral TikTok video, “Everybody Wanna Party But Nobody Wanna Clean Up,” garnered over 1 million views and brought in more than 90,000 followers.

What Is The Speedy Tribe?

The Speedy Tribe is a global platform offering:

  • Inspirational Content on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok (5M+ views)

  • Podcast episodes on mindset, healing, and growth

  • Coaching & Mentorship for individuals seeking purpose

  • Community Engagement that fosters healing and accountability

Giving Back

Now coaching football and track at Passaic High School, Sheppard also serves as the school’s Restorative Justice Coach, hosting peace circles and wellness check-ins to support student well-being.

Speaking Engagements

Sheppard has partnered with FoundCare Inc., Passaic NAACP, Oswego State University, and Benjamin Franklin Middle School to speak on purpose, healing, and breaking cycles.
