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.

A World Beneath Our Feet: “Roo and the North Burrow” Unveils an Epic Saga of the Ancient Forest’s Secret Guardians

A World Beneath Our Feet: "Roo and the North Burrow" Unveils an Epic Saga of the Ancient Forest's Secret Guardians
A groundbreaking novel invites readers into the moss-draped, root-webbed world of the Crum, a tiny, noble people living in harmony with the wild, where the fate of a new colony rests on courage, friendship, and the whispered wisdom of the woods.

MARIETTA, GA - From the heart of the great old forests, where the phosphorescent glow of mushrooms lights the way and the thoughts of animals are as clear as the babbling creek, comes a tale that will redefine your sense of wonder. Roo and the North Burrow, the stunning new literary fantasy by Carrie A. Keller, is not just a story—it’s an immersion into a world thriving in the shadows we seldom notice.

This is the story of the Crum, an evolutionary offshoot of humankind, standing a mere thirteen inches tall. With grey-brown skin, green hair, and large luminous eyes, they have lived in secret burrows under giant "Home Trees" for centuries. They are weavers, healers, and watchers, who communicate with the forest creatures and live by a simple rule: respect all life. But for Roo, a quiet dreamer with a formidable knowledge of the wild, the safety of the known burrow is not enough. He harbors a grand and scary idea: to journey north and establish a new home.

What follows is an epic adventure of exploration and survival. Alongside his healer partner Cra, his mischievous best friend Pip, and a cast of unforgettable animal allies—a pragmatic fox named Fen, a jovial raccoon, and an exuberant young bobcat—Roo ventures into untamed territories. They seek the perfect tree, facing territorial wolverines, navigating treacherous rivers, and earning the respect of formidable predators like the great bear Dub. This is a story of building a community from the roots up, of loss and resilience, and the profound, unspoken bond between all living things.

More than a fantasy, Roo and the North Burrow is a love letter to the natural world. The author’s meticulous attention to ecological detail creates a breathtakingly authentic tapestry of forest life. Readers will feel the crunch of pine needles underfoot, smell the rich scent of damp earth and fungi, and hear the cacophony of the dawn chorus. The novel masterfully explores a unique ethos where civilization does not dominate nature but intertwines with it—where a Crum’s survival depends on listening to the warning of a rabbit, learning the ways of a river otter, and understanding the territorial laws of the forest's great hunters.

Roo and the North Burrow is a triumphant work for readers of all ages who cherished the animal camaraderie of Redwall, the intricate world-building of The Borrowers, and the timeless wonder of Watership Down. It is a call to adventure, a testament to the spirit of community, and a powerful reminder of the magic that exists at the level of the forest floor.

The book is available for purchase in paperback and e-book formats on Amazon.
