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.

Fashion Designers Urge Public to “Share, Rewear, Hire or Repair”

An outfit made from recycled bowling shoes was just one of the thought-provoking designs on the catwalk at Blenheim Palace in the UK this week.

Other dramatic clothes on the runway included a dress made from crocheted VHS tapes; corsets fashioned from Christmas wrapping paper and plastic water bottles; and gloves created from Stella McCartney shoes.

The stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough in Oxfordshire has more typically hosted designers such as Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent over the years. However, the one-week exhibition and fashion show have both been organised to highlight the damaging impact of fashion on the planet.

“Share, re-wear, hire or repair” is the message – as well as urging shoppers to buy from second-hand or surplus stores.

Dr Emily Connally is founder of the Cherwell Collective – a community organisation with a £1 million National Lottery grant – the driving force behind the events.

“Many people are wearing their clothes only two or three times before buying something new. This is having a disastrous effect on the planet. Around 70 per cent of our clothing has plastics in it; even leather is coated in plastic. It can take hundreds of years to biodegrade.”

Diverse cultural groups have collaborated for the show and exhibition as part of Sustainable Fashion Week. Designers include Iraqi Women Art and War (IWAW), OXFAM, Oxford University’s international philanthropic organisation Multaka, and City of Oxford College, as well as emerging and award-winning artists and designers.

Founder of IWAW, Rana Ibrahim, explained that her group’s designs – which included an emotive wedding dress dripping with ‘blood’ – have been created to raise awareness of issues such as violence against women and the emotional impact of war.

“Each woman comes from a different country – for example, Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey – and their designs represent different issues. In Iraq, it’s being encouraged for girls aged nine upwards to get married. This is why we have a wedding dress with a bleeding heart and a toy that created a moment of drama.”

‘The Carbon Cost of Fashion’ Exhibition takes place from 23 to 27 September at Blenheim Palace.

DATES & TIMES:

‘The Carbon Cost of Fashion Exhibition’ – 10am-5pm, 23-27 September, The Stables, Blenheim Palace, UK. (Free with any valid Blenheim Palace ticket or annual pass).
