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.

Anti-apartheid activist holds book launch in South Africa for personal memoir

An anti-apartheid activist has published a deeply personal memoir of her journey of growth and self-discovery.
Alison Weihe’s debut book – Belonging: Finding Tribes of Meaning – tells the inspiring story of her life and how she made the journey from a child who felt invisible during her upbringing in apartheid-era South Africa to being a political activist and eventually an award-winning entrepreneur. The book was launched at a high-profile event at Exclusive Books in Victoria Wharf  Cape Town on August 29, which was live-streamed on YouTube.
During her career, Alison worked for the South African president Cyril Ramaphosa when he was general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers. A copy of her book, which includes a reference written by him, has been hand delivered to President Ramaphosa.
Alison says: “Writing Belonging made sense of my whole life. From political activist to award-winning serial entrepreneur to now becoming a speaker and a writer, my life has come full circle to focusing on legacy work. 
“I now hope to be a voice of hope and healing in this land at a seminal time in the history of South Africa. The book launch was an incredible event and a profound, emotional experience.”
In Belonging, Alison talks about her transformation from being a child who felt she didn’t belong, even in her own family, to becoming a global citizen passionate about uniting people separated by economic, social and cultural divides. She shares her journey of self-discovery, overcoming shame, failure and fear to finally reach a point where she felt she belonged.
At the launch of her book, Alison spoke about pivotal moments in her life, including her decision as a 19-year-old to shun the whites-only bus she was expected to take and ride with the rest of the community in the midst of the 1970s uprisings. She also talked about how a mistake she made when working for a trade union left her feeling such deep shame, she considered ending her own life.
After her career as a trade union activist and political journalist, the 65-year-old, who lives in Johannesburg, spent 25 years as an entrepreneur in the South African construction industry. In the last six years, she has become a speaker and award-winning coach, empowering others to live a life of meaning.
Alison is a passionate believer in owning your story, living with grace, and stepping into the power of who you were truly meant to be. Belonging: Finding Tribes of Meaning is available now at https://alisonweihe.com
