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.

Real Estate Expert Brad Graves Shares Game-Changing Insights for Buyers and Sellers on Agents Lounge Podcast

The Agents Lounge Podcast, hosted by Nate and Francisco, delves into the world of real estate with industry expert Brad Graves in their latest episode titled “From Law Enforcement to Real Estate and Plumbing: Stories of Career Transitions and Success” Providing invaluable insights, Brad shares personal experiences and strategies that have shaped his successful career and offers practical advice for professionals in the field.

In this thought-provoking episode, Brad Graves recounts his journey from being a high-ranking agent with a big ego to embracing humility and accountability in his business practices. Reflecting on his visit to California for a coaching session with Graham, he shares, “I was among the lowest ranked individuals in the room, surrounded by hardworking ‘grinders’ who made me realize the importance of staying humble and continuously improving.”

In a fascinating twist, Brad identifies the benefits and job demand found in the trades – HVAC, plumbing, and iron work. He emphasizes how these industries have a constant influx of customers, eliminating the need for extensive marketing efforts. He further notes, “Customers come to them rather than them having to actively seek out clients,” highlighting the reliability and stability found in these sectors.

Discussing the importance of accountability and the power of self-improvement tools, Brad explores the challenges associated with staying focused and utilizing available resources. “In this modern era, we have access to various tools, like video recordings, that can help us better ourselves,” he says. “However, without accountability, we can fall into the trap of wasted time and missed opportunities.”

Brad’s expertise extends to the world of referrals, which he considers a vital pillar of success in the real estate industry. Recognizing the influence of happy past clients and strategic networking, he emphasizes the value of building strong relationships. “If we can acquire 40-50 referrals, it could potentially convert into 50 deals,” he states. “Word-of-mouth marketing is incredibly powerful.”

Sharing his own journey from being a dedicated technician to a successful business owner, Brad underscores how practical learning can be just as effective as reading books. “Pay attention, listen, and be dedicated to improving your skills,” he advises. “Learning from the owners I worked for not only enhanced my abilities but also resulted in financial rewards and cherished friendships.”

The episode also addresses the challenges faced by business owners in handling client complaints and managing expectations. Brad suggests that understanding different perspectives and anticipating possible pitfalls can lead to better outcomes. “Remembering that you can’t make everyone happy is a valuable lesson in navigating difficult situations,” he adds.

As Brad Graves delves into the intricacies of the real estate industry, he imparts crucial wisdom and practical solutions, sharing personal anecdotes that resonate with listeners. His powerful insights offer valuable lessons for individuals striving to achieve professional success and build lasting client relationships.

Listeners can tune in to the Agents Lounge Podcast episode titled “From Law Enforcement to Real Estate and Plumbing: Stories of Career Transitions and Success” to gain valuable knowledge and guidance from Brad Graves, available on Business Innovators Radio and any of your favorite Podcast platforms.
