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.

TheBestGoBag.com Launches with GB101 Powered by MSS and Haz Assist

Danbury, CT - September 15, 2025 - Instinct Ready and Disaster Operations Group today announced the official launch of TheBestGoBag.com, a groundbreaking platform designed to make emergency preparedness accessible to all. At the center of this launch is Go Bag 101 (GB101), a first-of-its-kind, hands-on workshop built on the Minimum Survival Standard (MSS) and Haz Assist, which together form a unique, proprietary framework that redefines how civilian preparedness is taught and applied. Much like FEMA’s Community Lifelines serve as the standard for federal and state administrators, MSS and Haz Assist are positioned to become the civilian standard—speaking to everyone from extreme survivalists and off-gridders to families, schools, and professional emergency managers.

The Problem: Awareness Without Action

For decades, preparedness efforts have fallen into two traps:

- Government trainings that overwhelm with jargon, designed for professionals.

- Commercial kits that promise convenience but fail to meet individual needs.

The result: most people know they should have a go bag, but few actually do.

The Solution: A Standardized, Accessible System

GB101 is more than a class—it’s the gateway to a new standard of preparedness. Built on:

- Minimum Survival Standard (MSS): A universal framework defining eight essential categories—Water, Food, Clothing, Shelter, Comms & Nav, Health, Sustainability, and Special Considerations—ensuring every bag is reliable and complete.

- Haz Assist: A hazard assessment tool that tailors each bag to the specific risks of participants’ environments, from hurricanes to power outages.

Together, MSS and Haz Assist make GB101 standardized, scalable, and personalized.

TheBestGoBag.com: Launching September 14, 2025

The new website serves as the central hub for the preparedness movement, providing:

- Access to GB101 workshops for individuals, schools, and communities.

- Educational resources for building and maintaining go bags.

- Sponsor partnerships enabling workshops to be offered at low to no cost, bringing high-quality preparedness solutions to underserved communities.

Meeting the Challenge of Equity

“Preparedness has been talked about for years, but rarely lived out,” said Wesley Long, COO and Director of Community Engagement at Instinct Ready. “In a conversation with former FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor, he told me, ‘When someone figures out how to provide high-quality solutions for the underprivileged—that will really be something.’ That challenge resonated deeply with us. GB101 is designed to meet that challenge head-on: through sponsor-supported workshops, we’re ensuring that preparedness isn’t a privilege, but a right.”

Partnership for Resilience“Our collaboration with Instinct Ready brings the best of both worlds together—curriculum and operations,” added Anthony Escoto, CEO of Disaster Operations Group. “By co-designing GB101, we’ve created a workshop that municipalities and community organizations can confidently adopt. It’s not just education; it’s a partnership model that strengthens local resilience.”

With the launch of TheBestGoBag.com, preparedness is no longer just an idea—it’s a movement. Individuals, schools, and municipalities can join today, and sponsors are invited to help bring workshops to every community nationwide.
