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.

Joe St. John Joins Adam Marburger on Training Camp to Reveal the Secrets of F&I Success and Dealership Optimization

The future of F&I in the automotive industry demands speed, efficiency, and customer-first strategies. On the latest episode of Training Camp with Adam Marburger.

Adam Marburger, CEO of Ascent Dealer Services and best-selling author of You Are the  Problem and The Servant Leading F&I Manager: Leadership Redefined, welcomes Joe St. John, Head of Digital Retail at AutoFi.

In this dynamic conversation, St. John and Marburger—both industry leaders and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners—discuss how discipline, preparation, and adaptability fuel success in F&I and dealership operations.

The Future of F&I: Why Speed Matters in Automotive Retail

“Time kills deals, and inefficient dealership processes kill profits,” said Marburger. “If you’re not streamlining your F&I and sales processes, you’re losing revenue.”

St. John, who has spent years refining digital retail strategies, emphasized that dealerships need to eliminate wasted time and friction in the car-buying process.

“The future of dealership profitability is optimizing every step of the sale—from test drive to financing—to create a seamless, customer-friendly experience,” said St. John.

Key Takeaways from the Interview:

  • F&I training must be an ongoing process – Just like martial arts, mastery comes from consistent training and adaptation.
  • Dealerships must eliminate wasted time – Streamlining the sales-to-F&I transition increases revenue.
  • Speed and customer experience are the new competitive edge. Reducing the friction in financing leads to higher product penetration and profitability.

Marburger, who has helped thousands of dealership professionals increase their F&I performance, emphasizes that training is not something you did; it’s something you do.
