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.

Pittsburgh Home Improvement Expert Reveals Critical Questions Every Homeowner Should Ask Before Hiring a Contractor

As home improvement projects surge across Western Pennsylvania, homeowners face the crucial task of selecting qualified contractors. Powerhouse Home Improvements, maintaining a 4.9-star Google rating and BBB accreditation, has released comprehensive guidance to help Pittsburgh residents make informed decisions about their home investments.

“Selecting the right contractor directly impacts not only the quality of work but also your home’s long-term value,” explains John Polosky, Owner of Powerhouse Home Improvements. “Many homeowners learn the hard way that the most expensive home improvement project is having to fix substandard work. We’re sharing our industry expertise to help Pittsburgh residents protect their most valuable asset.”

The guidance addresses four critical areas homeowners must evaluate when selecting a contractor. First, credential verification encompasses checking state licensing, insurance coverage, and professional affiliations. Second, experience assessment involves examining the contractor’s local project history and specialized expertise. Third, project management evaluation looks at estimation processes, warranties, and timeline commitments. Fourth, customer service review examines communication protocols and emergency response capabilities.

“Professional contractors welcome these questions,” Polosky emphasizes. “When a homeowner asks about insurance certificates, warranty documentation, or project timelines, they’re demonstrating due diligence. These conversations form the foundation of successful home improvement projects.”

Powerhouse Home Improvements exemplifies these professional standards through comprehensive documentation, maintaining active Pennsylvania licensing, carrying full insurance coverage, and offering detailed written warranties. Their commitment to transparency includes providing free professional consultations where homeowners can review credentials, examine project portfolios, and discuss specific renovation needs.

“The Pittsburgh housing market presents unique challenges,” Polosky notes. “From historic Sewickley homes to modern Cranberry Township developments, each project requires specific expertise. Understanding how to evaluate contractor qualifications helps ensure your home receives appropriate, professional care.”

Pittsburgh homeowners can receive personalized guidance on contractor evaluation during Powerhouse Home Improvements’ free consultation process. “We take time with each homeowner to answer these critical questions and walk them through our documentation, credentials, and project approach,” explains Polosky. ‘This consultative approach helps homeowners feel confident in their choice, whether they ultimately select us or another contractor.’  Interested homeowners can schedule a free consultation by calling 724-979-7663 or visiting www.PowerhouseHI.com.
