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.

Project Management Expert Tamara McLemore Reveals the Human Side of Project Management on Become an IDOL Podcast

Tamara McLemore, a renowned project management expert and founder of Tamara McLemore Enterprises, recently shared insights on the people-centric aspects of project management on the Become an IDOL podcast with Dr. Robin Sargent. Informed by over 20 years of experience in IT project management, Tamara offered valuable perspectives for aspiring project managers and instructional designers.

In the episode, Tamara challenged a common project management misconception. She stated, “People think project management is all spreadsheets. But projects are run by people, and 42% of the exam is on people. PMI surveyed all Fortune 500, 100, and nonprofit organizations, and they say project managers suck at managing people. So that’s what we’re learning to do.”

Tamara also emphasized the importance of understanding stakeholder motivations in project success. She shared, “We have to understand what’s in it for them. It may be a bonus. It may be a performance review. Everybody has something. And once you understand that, you just make it happen.”

When discussing how to handle project changes and stakeholder requests, Tamara advised listeners to focus on collaboration rather than confrontation. She said, “Don’t want to think of pushing back. I’m never going to tell a client no. However, I will tell them that if they want it their way it may require [more money] or an additional six months.”
