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.

Doctor who helps people live longer and healthier lives is named female speaker of the year

Doctor and longevity coach Dr Alka Patel has been named Female Speaker of the Year in a prestigious awards ceremony.

After a long career as a GP, Alka now specialises in helping people live longer while feeling and looking younger. For the last two years, she has combined her work with public speaking, shining a spotlight on important issues surrounding health and wellbeing.

The Professional Speakers Academy awarded Alka the prize at its annual awards ceremony at the Riverside Venue in Hounslow, London on Saturday, November 18. She described the win as “a tremendous honour and achievement.”

The 51-year-old, who believes everyone has the potential to live one million-hour lives, said: “Being the Female Speaker of the Year in the realm of longevity isn’t just a personal achievement; it’s a responsibility. It fuels my commitment to continue sharing insights, offering guidance, and inspiring positive changes in people’s lives.

“It’s about making a lasting difference by enabling individuals to lead not just longer lives, but healthier, more prosperous, and fulfilling ones. Collecting my award, I walked onto the stage to the sound of the Alicia Keys song This Girl is on Fire and in that moment, I recognised that I am setting the world ablaze with my unique flame and spark that’s igniting change.”

But Alka, who lives in London, believes more needs to be done to close the gender gap within public speaking and make sure women are given the same prominence as their male counterparts.

She said: “Women often face challenges in securing keynote or prominent speaking roles. Research suggests that they might be more commonly assigned breakout sessions or panels rather than the central spotlight, impacting their visibility and influence.

“The landscape of speaker awards, despite celebrating excellence, has historically mirrored wider gender disparities. While women have made remarkable strides in public speaking and thought leadership, there’s been a notable imbalance in the recognition they receive through awards.

“The Professional Speakers Academy doesn’t just give a cursory nod to women. It actively recognises and celebrates the visibility of female voices, inspiring others to follow suit.”

The Professional Speakers Academy was founded by Andy Harrington 11 years ago to help entrepreneurs learn how to give interesting and entertaining presentations which gave value to the audience, while also boosting their business.
