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.

SlapBak To Perform At The Funk Lived Matter Festival at The Mint September 11th

SlapBak To Perform At The Funk Lived Matter Festival at The Mint September 11th

Los Angeles - The funk is alive and thriving in Los Angeles! On September 11, 2025, legendary funk innovators SlapBak will join forces with The LA Maggots and Official Biz at The Mint for the highly anticipated Funk Lived Matter Festival—a celebration dedicated to preserving and elevating the timeless power of funk music.

Known for pushing funk into the 21st century with raw energy, heavy grooves, and undeniable soul, SlapBak continues to prove why they remain at the forefront of the modern funk movement. Their dynamic performances and genre-bending sound have earned them recognition across the globe, all while keeping the spirit of funk authentic and unshakable.

Sharing the stage is The LA Maggots, a powerhouse tribute band committed to keeping funk alive worldwide. What began as a passionate fan collective of the Parliafunkadelicament Thang—loyal supporters of Parliament-Funkadelic, Bootsy’s Rubber Band, and Brides of Funkenstein—has evolved into a professional group of musicians determined to preserve the funk legacy. As George Clinton once declared: “Y’all look like a gang of maggots.”

Adding even more electricity to the night is Official Biz (OBiz), a Southern California-based band of seasoned performers and producers who bring funk into the modern era with undeniable style. Known for their high-energy shows, they’ve shared the stage with El DeBarge, Chico DeBarge, Christopher Williams, Lyfe Jennings, Jon B, Brandy, Ray J, Jellybean Johnson (of Morris Day and The Time), and more. Drawing inspiration from icons like Prince, Morris Day and The Time, The Gap Band, and Earth, Wind & Fire, OBiz blends funk, R&B, and electro-dance into a fresh yet timeless groove. Led by bassist Dwayne “The Rugged” Cousin, with Janie “Bunny Hearts” Gafford and Diana “The Goddess” Ross on keys, Cody “Coyote” Breyer on guitar, and Chuck “Mr. Hervey” Hervey on drums, Official Biz guarantees a show that’s as dynamic as it is unforgettable.

The Funk Lived Matter Festival is more than a show—it’s a movement. By uniting trailblazers like SlapBak, torchbearers like The LA Maggots, and innovators like Official Biz, the festival ensures that funk’s rich legacy continues to evolve, inspire, and bring communities together through the power of rhythm.
