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.

Dr. Vinson Eugene Allen and his wife Dr. Connie Yu, founders of the Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Awards, hosted a sold-out event, with parking to match. The dynamic duo captivated and dazzled a packed audience with heartfelt stories, and lighthearted moments. The couple received humble recognitions from city officials and state representatives, including acknowledgments from the Office of Mayor Karen Bass, the Office of Laura Richardson, Councilwoman Bridget Lewis, the Office of Fiona MA and many others. The award show featured many families and caregivers, who also were celebrated for their heroic stand, fighting battles alone, while living with disabilities.

The energy was exciting as music headliner Club Nouveau ignited the crowd with an energetic performance that drew both attendees and celebrities onto the dance floor. Master of Ceremonies Dannon Green kept the crowd entertained with his comedy styles, while special guest Ernest Harden Jr., a passionate advocate for families with special needs, delivered a heartfelt speech on the importance of community support. The evening also featured a memorable and humorous reunion between Harden (Marcus) and his former co-star from The Jeffersons Marla Gibbs (Florence), whose warm camaraderie delighted the audience.

A standout moment during the award show featured the Allen children. Colin Matthew Allen, age 11, the evening's namesake and known for his passion for helping others, captivated the audience with an unscripted and genuinely charming surprising address to the crowd. His younger sister, 8-year-old Aliani Allen, followed - her effervescent smile and bubbly demeanor radiating youthful enthusiasm addressing the audience. The elder brother Vinson Eugene Allen Jr., age 13, then delivered an inspiring, heartfelt speech about the extensive work and contributions their parents have provided to thousands of families. His words of gratitude and his commitment to serve alongside his parents created a truly memorable highlight. Vinson Jr., poised and an eloquent speaker, mark him as a promising figure to watch in Los Angeles leadership and as a young Hollywood actor.

Embracing this year's inspiring theme "The Silent Wave of Love," the Foundation is dedicating a significant portion of the 2025 Colin Matthew $50,000 Hand-Up Award proceeds to its new "Making Dreams Come True" initiative. This ambitious project will give 1,000 children an unforgettable trip to Disneyland Park in 2026. This heartfelt initiative was a central focus of this year's award show and gala to help make these dreams a reality for so many children. Donate today at beinspirational.org.
