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.

Car Crash Test Dummies go on Innovative UK Tour

An Oxford environmental campaigner has come up with an innovative new use for car crash dummies after they’ve been injured in factory tests.

The mannequins from the BMW car plant in Oxford may have missing limbs – heads, arms and fingers – but they’re now stars of a new fashion exhibition touring the UK.

The Carbon Cost of Fashion exhibition highlights the devastating impact of fashion on the planet with the crash dummies symbolising the damage being caused and the collision course for the planet.

The exhibit is made entirely from 300kg of surplus and waste materials provided by dozens of volunteers.

Dr Emily Connally, a mother of two, and founder of the not-for-profit Cherwell Collective, is the driving force behind the campaign.

“One dummy’s arm keeps falling off and another has no fingers – but there’s still life in them. The same applies to fast fashion. There’s no reason to throw anything away or send it to landfill if it can still be used. The goal is to instil a sense of urgency, hope, and proactiveness in response to the climate crisis and encourage people to change their behaviour,” she said.

The unusual fashion models highlight issues such plastics in clothing, excessive water use in producing denim and the addictive effects of online shopping.

Visitors can test their knowledge with a fast fashion quiz, as well as using a selfie booth to make a pledges before hanging them from a discarded supermarket cage.

Emily’s own experience of hardship while a student at Oxford University led her to set up the Cherwell Collective in the UK to help other people in need.

“While at Oxford University, I was a recipient of a hardship fund set up to help students during tough times. I now use my knowledge to help others. I hope my journey and this exhibit inspires other people to keep going in the face of life’s challenges. No task is too large for us to tackle collectively,” she said.

Emily, who studied at both Oxford and Harvard, is taking the exhibition back to her original college St Anne’s as part of the tour.

Other exciting venues planned for the future include Oxford City Football Club.

Cherwell Collective was founded in 2020 with the mission to empower people impacted by social, financial, or medical inequalities.
