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.

Chef-Driven Coffee Shop, Southern Grounds, Officially Opens in St.Petersburg, FL

Chef-Driven Coffee Shop, Southern Grounds, Officially Opens in St.Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg, Fla. - September 17th, 2025 - Southern Grounds is thrilled to announce the opening of its new location in St. Petersburg, Florida. Originally founded in Jacksonville, Southern Grounds aims to establish itself in St. Pete as a community hub offering high-quality coffee, food, ambiance, and hospitality.

The Mission

Southern Grounds is a chef-driven coffee shop providing sustainably sourced food and beverages. The brand's mission is to “Nourish, nurture and inspire healthy community life by giving back.”

After years of searching for a location with a sense of community in St. Pete, Nick and Zach Presti, along with their business partner, Jordan Hooten, found their ideal location in the heart of downtown. Wanting to bring a unique experience to what a coffee shop can provide, the owners and operators of Southern Grounds have meticulously cultivated a space where people can gather, connect, and foster a meaningful sense of community in an inviting location that encourages patrons to stay awhile, thanks to its full-service menu.

“Southern Grounds brings a seed oil-free food menu to an already elevated coffee shop,” says Nick Presti, owner/operator of Southern Grounds’ St. Pete/Tampa location. “It gives the community a place not only a place to fuel up before or after a workout, hold coffee meetings, or studying outings, but stay for a healthy, sustainable meal to fuel them through the day!”

Southern Grounds’ St. Pete location is a unique coffee shop concept offering seasonal food and beverages. It is also decorated with art from local artist Matt Kress, a deliberate choice by the operators to ensure they continue supporting the local community they are now part of. Each of Southern Grounds’ eight locations boasts a unique aspect, with the local St. Pete art featured in its newest spot contributing to the unmistakable feel of the city’s downtown area.

Southern Grounds brews fresh coffee from Intelligentsia, which is sourced directly to the shop. This community hub will soon offer a spot for happy hours, wine nights, and painting events as it continues to establish itself as a focal point in downtown St. Pete.
