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.

+Vantage Vinyl Gold is the highest verification a company can receive for its sustainability performance in resource efficiency, emissions and health and safety. GreenCircle Certified is an independent third-party that verifies sustainability efforts within five Guiding Principles: environmental stewardship, social diligence, economic soundness, collaboration and open communications. Gold recognition means GEON achieved 100 percent compliance with all applicable Guiding Principles and has implemented at least two Advanced Practices and one Innovative Practice Achievement.

"We are proud to receive +Vantage Vinyl Gold verification. One of GEON's priorities is to integrate sustainability into our business and decision-making processes for the benefit of our people, customers, communities and planet," said Janice Worden, GEON chief operations officer. "We continue to make progress in our sustainability targets by setting ambitious goals and innovating across the value chain."

One example of GEON's 2025 environmental goals, outlined in its 2024 Sustainability Report, is to reduce electrical consumption per pound of product by 15 percent. The company is doing this by modernizing equipment and electrical infrastructure to reduce energy intensity.

"Congratulations to GEON Performance Solutions for attaining Gold level +Vantage Vinyl verification. Achieving 100 percent compliance is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and highlights their exceptional efforts in meeting stringent sustainability standards," said Jay Thomas, vice president of Sustainability at The Vinyl Institute.
