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.

Cuban Guitarist Laura Mazon Franqui Signs with Prima Classic for Debut Album

MIAMI, FL - June 24, 2025 - Classical guitarist Laura Mazon Franqui, originally from Havana and now based in Miami, has signed with the distinguished classical music label Prima Classic for the release of her debut solo album, scheduled for early 2026. Singles will begin to roll out later this year.

This milestone marks a significant moment in Mazon Franqui’s journey—from arriving in the United States a decade ago with no resources and not even guitar of her own, to now joining the roster of a label known for spotlighting artists with unique voices and uncompromising artistry.

“When I came to the U.S. ten years ago, I had just sold my guitar to afford my plane ticket,” Mazon Franqui recalls. “I came with no instrument, but I had a deep sense of purpose. I believed there was space for my voice in this field, and that if I worked hard, I would be able to stand out and make it.”

After earning her Masters in Music from the University of Miami under the tutelage of Rafael Padron,and starting her Doctoral Degree at the University of Southern California she built a career as a performer, educator, and advocate for underrepresented voices in classical music, with the guidance of notable mentors and guitar masters along her way, such as Maestro Pepe Romero, Scott Tennant and Adam Levin. Her work frequently highlights Latin American, music of Hispanic descent, and women composers, and she is a fierce advocate for the women in music and women empowerment.

Her forthcoming album with Prima Classic reflects those values. Featuring a bold and intimate program of Hispanic and Latin American works, it honors both the musical heritage she brings from Cuba and the personal path she’s charted as an immigrant, artist, and woman in a traditionally male-dominated space.
