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.

APEX Honors United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby With APEX CEO Lifetime Achievement Award for Advancing the Future of Aviation and Passenger Experience

WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / September 12, 2025 / The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) proudly presented United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby as the recipient of the 2025 APEX CEO Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his visionary leadership and lasting contributions to reimagining the passenger experience and shaping the future of the aviation industry.APEX IFSA

The prestigious APEX CEO Lifetime Achievement Award has been awarded to only seven other industry pioneers before. Kirby joined this exclusive group of industry-leading airline CEOs who have transformed advancements in aviation through innovation, decisive leadership, and an unwavering focus on the passenger experience.

Since becoming CEO in 2020, Kirby has led United through one of the most transformative periods in its history. His distinctive leadership guided the airline through the pandemic with an unflinching focus on future growth, resulting not only in United Airlines' recovery but also a customer service renaissance. His dedication to employee culture and customer service has established United as a leader in modern aviation excellence. At the same time, Kirby prioritized innovation with the award-winning United mobile app and by launching a partnership with Starlink that will redefine inflight WiFi connectivity for years to come.

"Scott Kirby has proven himself as the perfect leader not only for United Airlines, but also as one of the brightest stars for our industry advancing customer experience," APEX Group CEO Dr. Joe Leader stated. "Scott's leadership has accelerated passenger innovation and raised the bar for all with the fastest concurrent wave of new aircraft deliveries alongside refurbishments in the history of aviation. Scott's philosophy of giving customers exactly what he would want when he's flying himself: an app that gives the fullest information immediately, ConnectionSaver to save passengers on tight connections, Control Tower to see exactly where you are on the runway for takeoff, and new even overhead bins so that everyone can have rollaboard luggage. Every one of these positive steps sets a higher bar for our industry that has rippled far beyond United Airlines."

Kirby championed elevated in-flight offerings, including upgraded amenity kits, the return of iconic snacks, and culinary collaborations with Magnolia Bakery, as well as enhancements to coffee and wine service, all aimed at raising the bar for passenger delight. Only a few years ago, the concept of U.S. business class where two passengers could dine together in the same suite with caviar sounded like imagination. Under his leadership United Airlines has transformed that vision into reality. Kirby has also overseen strategic hub international restructuring and global network expansion, bringing more direct connectivity that has accelerated demand.

"I want to thank APEX for the honor and recognition. The way I see it, this award is for our employees. The dedication from our team is what enables us to make our customers days', every day, and deliver on our United Next strategy to be the world's biggest and best airline in the history of aviation," United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby shared.

Kirby accepted the CEO Lifetime Achievement Award before one of the largest gatherings of airline leaders and professionals at the APEX/IFSA Awards Ceremony, held during the APEX/IFSA Global EXPO.
