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.

HIS Paint Uncovers the New Role of Exterior Stains in Long-Term Home Resilience

When homeowners think about protecting their investment, they often focus on the roof, insulation, or landscaping. But a growing trend is shedding light on a new hero in home durability, exterior paint stains. These finishes are proving to be more than just cosmetic enhancements; they're becoming an essential part of home resilience.

As climate conditions become more extreme, with increased exposure to sun, moisture, and wind, the protective qualities of exterior stains are being reexamined. In response, many homeowners are turning to local paint manufacturing companies for products designed to withstand the elements.

The Role of Exterior Paint Stains in Home Protection

Unlike traditional paint that often peels or fades over time, modern exterior stains penetrate the surface, creating a deeper bond and offering long-lasting protection against weather damage and moisture. This deeper absorption makes them less likely to crack or flake, especially in areas subject to harsh environmental conditions.

Exterior stains are particularly effective on wood, helping to:

  • Repel water and reduce the risk of rot
  • Minimize UV damage that leads to fading and warping
  • Resist mold and mildew growth
  • Preserve the natural texture and grain of materials

For regions experiencing frequent rainfall or intense heat, these benefits can significantly extend the life of siding, decks, fences, and other outdoor structures.

Local Demand Fuels Innovation

The rising demand for durability and sustainability has more homeowners searching for paint manufacturing companies that offer advanced exterior stain solutions. Local manufacturers are stepping up with eco-friendly, climate-adaptive products tailored to regional needs. Whether you're in a coastal, desert, or forested area, localized production often means better performance.

Choosing local also offers additional benefits such as:

  • Faster delivery and better product availability
  • Greater transparency in the manufacturing process
  • Local expertise to address specific climate challenges

How Paint Manufacturers Are Responding

To meet evolving demands, forward-thinking paint manufacturing companies are investing in research and development focused on resilient, long-lasting exterior stains. Innovations include:

  • UV-blocking additives that prevent color fading
  • Advanced resins for better bonding on textured surfaces
  • Water-based, low-VOC formulas for eco-conscious application

Manufacturers are also expanding their color ranges to meet aesthetic preferences, showing that exterior stains can be both protective and stylish.

Choosing the Right Exterior Paint Stain

Not all stains are created equal. When selecting a product, consider the following:

  • Transparency: Solid stains offer maximum protection, while semi-transparent options allow the wood’s natural grain to show through.
  • Surface Compatibility: Some stains are better suited for hardwoods, others for softwoods or cement siding.
  • Weather Resistance: Look for formulations labeled with UV protection and mildew resistance.

Consulting with a local expert from a nearby paint manufacturer can help you choose the right stain for your home and climate.

Resilience Starts at the Surface

As homeowners and contractors prioritize long-term durability, exterior stains are becoming a key part of resilient home design. They’re more than a finishing touch; they’re a vital layer of protection against the elements.

Whether you’re planning a DIY project or working with a professional, reaching out to a paint manufacturing company near you can ensure you get the best weather-resistant stain for your home. It’s an investment that pays off in longevity, performance, and curb appeal.
