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.

NEI General Contracting Breaks Ground on Two Affordable Housing Projects

Cheney Homes in Dorchester and 4 Mellen in Cambridge will add much-needed supply

RANDOLPH, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2025 / NEI General Contracting, an award-winning general contracting firm, announced today it has broken ground on two new affordable housing projects: one in Dorchester's Grove Hall neighborhood and a second in the City of Cambridge. In Dorchester, NEI will work with the Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation (JPNDC) to bring the Cheney Homes community to life, while it will collaborate with HRI in Cambridge on the future home of 4 Mellen.

The Cheney Homes development will involve the demolition of an existing structure and construction of 48 new apartments for seniors aged 55 and older. Cheney Homes will feature service- and feature-rich units to allow older adults to age-in-place while still meeting key affordability measures, a critical housing need in many Massachusetts communities. The project will additionally incorporate a 3,500 square foot Senior Wellness Center, in partnership with Upham's Corner Health Center, to serve all neighborhood seniors. Project partners include ICON Architecture, MassHousing, the City of Boston, and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), CEDAC (Community Economic Development Assistance Corporation), MHIC, Dorfman Capital and MHP (Massachusetts Housing Partnership).

In Cambridge, NEI will oversee the unique combination of restoring a historic 3-story mansion and constructing a 6-story Passive House certified infill building. HRI's 4 Mellen project represents the next generation of sustainable construction, where historic reuse is married with new construction Passive House design to create an affordable housing community. The 4 Mellen design will prioritize family-sized apartments, with 65% of the units being 2- and 3-bedroom units, for a total of 29 new homes. In addition to HRI, project partners include ICON Architecture, the City of Cambridge, the CEDAC, Citizens Bank, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, MHIC, and the MHP.

NEI is an experienced builder of affordable residential communities and routinely works with private developers and public agencies to bring much-needed housing stock to Massachusetts residents. The company is also an expert in Passive House construction and has emerged as a leader in delivering highly sustainable housing to individuals and families at or below the poverty line.

"When we look towards the future, it's clear that delivering healthy living environments for residents in need of attainable housing solutions is where the construction industry is heading, and we're pleased to be leading the way," said Josef F. Rettman, President, NEI. "In addition, the project partners responsible for bringing these developments to life deserve our praise and appreciation for persevering in getting these exciting communities out of the ground."
