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.

Transcend Releases Beyond Fine Report: Data From 70,000+ Students Reveals School Experiences Significantly Associated With Academic & Behavioral Outcomes

As AI reshapes the world and our schools, this report suggests student experience surveys can provide real-time impact data that correlates with long-term outcomes and can help schools redesign learning faster

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / Transcend, a national nonprofit that works with communities to create and spread extraordinary learning for all students, has released the report Beyond "Fine": How Students Really Feel About School and Why It Matters, analyzing more than 70,000 student responses to their validated Leaps Student Voice Survey. The survey data reveals that:Transcend's Beyond Fine Report

Transcend's Beyond Fine Report

  • How students experience school is significantly associated with a range of important outcomes including test scores, GPA, attendance, and disciplinary incidents.

  • Students who report better school experiences achieve better outcomes.

  • Students at schools which regularly seek and incorporate student feedback into how they "do" school have more positive school experiences and outcomes than the norm.

"AI is re-writing the world we live in, yet step into most schools, and you'll see a different story: rigid schedules, siloed subjects, and little space for relevance or real-world connections," says Aylon Samouha, CEO of Transcend. "Transcend's Beyond Fine report shows us that many students are feeling locked in place by their learning experiences, and they're asking, ‘How is this preparing me for what's next?' By understanding how students experience school and what's important to them, educators can gather near-term data to fuel rapid improvement, giving more students the strong academic and behavioral outcomes they deserve."

Beyond "Fine": How Students Really Feel About School and Why It Matters finds that:

  • Students who report higher quality learning experiences perform better on key learning and behavioral outcomes.

  • Most students report that they are not having great experiences in school. School feels irrelevant, boring, and offers them few opportunities to take charge of their learning.

  • The longer students spend in school, the less they like it. Middle and high school students are particularly dissatisfied with their school experiences.

  • Innovative communities across the country are adopting new models that create extraordinary learning experiences. Many schools and districts with strong student experiences and outcomes feature design choices that differ from the "traditional" approach to school.

The report highlights successful examples of schools using student experience feedback to drive improvement:

  • A Massachusetts school cut chronic absenteeism from 28% to 12% by adapting to student feedback.

  • A North Dakota school adopted student-advocated "studios" to make instruction feel more relevant to the real world, growing from 18% of students reporting school felt relevant pre-studio to 89%.

Because student experience data is highly responsive to changes in instruction and culture, listening tools like Transcend's Leaps Survey allow educators to make decisions about data-driven improvement in ways that important, but lagging, outcomes cannot. While it can take months or years for interventions by a school or district to influence standardized assessment scores, the Beyond Fine report suggests that educators do not need to wait that long to test impact±or make informed changes to learning.
