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.

Texan Entrepreneur Writes Book to Help People Choose the Right Career Path

Serial entrepreneur George Appling has written a book to help people choose the right career path for them.

Don’t Settle: A Pick-Your-Path Guide to Intentional Work is a unique book which helps the reader choose the right relationship between passion and work for them. Available from October 1, the book sets out five different paths – Independent, Money, Passion, Experiment, and Balanced and includes a set of exercises to help people work out which one suits them best.

Author George describes himself as a ‘passionpreneur’ and owns eight businesses, including the Texas-based Sherwood Forest Faire, which reflect his interests and passions. But, while he himself is on the Passion path detailed in his book, he acknowledges this won’t be the right fit for everyone.

He says: “The book is a framework from which the reader can choose the relationship between their passion and their work. My belief is that you’ll be more content, joyful and productive if you intentionally make that choice as opposed to letting the world make it for you.”

George wrote the book to help young people at the start of their career as well as those already established in the world of work who feel they haven’t found the right balance in their life so far. And he has been speaking to students at colleges in the United States to encourage them to consciously pick a path before they graduate.

The 55-year-old, who lives in Austin, Texas, says: “Each of the five pathways resonate with their own audience, although the most popular is balanced. It’s really important for people to feel they have made an intentional choice when it comes to work rather than feeling trapped on the wrong path.”

George himself followed traditional career path, which included becoming the CEO of a $1 billion cellphone distribution company. But at the age of 36, he realised he wanted something different from his life so he made a one word note in his Blackberry calendar for his 40th birthday which simply read STOP.

This message to himself signalled an intention to move away from the career he had built since leaving college, which saw him rise to senior positions within the telecoms industry. Once George hit 40, he began starting businesses he was passionate about, initially beginning with the Sherwood Forest Faire, a Texas-based Renaissance festival.

His businesses now also include a mead-making company, a medieval-themed summer camp for children and a charity which provides equine therapy to veterans.

Don’t Settle: A Pick-Your-Path Guide to Intentional Work is available from Amazon and all major bookstores from October 1.
