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 Roof Maintenance Tips for Winter Damage and Spring Storm Protection

As Western Pennsylvania emerges from another harsh winter, BBB-accredited Powerhouse Home Improvements announces their comprehensive spring roof maintenance program, urging homeowners to schedule inspections before March’s end to prepare for peak spring storm season.

“Winter weather can be devastating to Pittsburgh roofs,” explains John Polosky, Owner of Powerhouse Home Improvements. “While our typical spring maintenance inspection costs a fraction of emergency repairs, addressing winter damage after spring storms can exceed $10,000, especially when interior water damage occurs. The freeze-thaw cycles we experience can create hidden damage that, if left unchecked, often leads to serious issues during spring storms.”

Understanding Pittsburgh’s Winter Damage and Spring Storm Connection
Pittsburgh’s winter weather creates a perfect storm of conditions that compromise roof integrity just as spring’s severe weather arrives. The region’s frequent freeze-thaw cycles cause ice damming along roof edges, while microscopic cracks from winter’s freezing and thawing become natural entry points for spring’s driving rains. What starts as a hairline crack in February can develop into a significant leak by April, particularly during Pittsburgh’s intense spring thunderstorms, which often bring winds exceeding 50 mph and rainfall rates of more than an inch per hour.

Local homeowner Sarah Matthews experienced this firsthand last spring: “We thought the small winter damage to our roof wasn’t urgent. By May, we had extensive water damage in our master bedroom. Powerhouse not only repaired everything but showed us how their preventative maintenance program could have saved us thousands. This year, we’re not taking any chances.”

Professional Spring Assessment and Long-Term Protection
Powerhouse’s spring maintenance program begins with a thorough evaluation specifically designed to identify winter damage before spring storms arrive. Their certified technicians examine both visible surface damage and subtle signs of winter stress, paying particular attention to roof valleys and areas around chimneys and vents, where winter damage most commonly occurs and spring storms often exploit weaknesses.

Following the inspection, Powerhouse’s team develops a customized maintenance plan that addresses both immediate concerns and preventative measures. Their integrated approach ensures all components of a home’s exterior work together to provide maximum protection against Pittsburgh’s demanding weather patterns.

Serving high-demand Pittsburgh areas including Robinson Township, Cranberry Township, Sewickley, Moon Township, Canonsburg, and Upper St. Clair, Powerhouse continues to lead Pittsburgh’s home improvement industry through their BBB Accreditation with consistent A+ rating and nearly perfect 4.9-star Google Reviews rating. Their team of licensed and insured local contractors provides free professional consultations and estimates, with emergency service availability when needed.

“Spring in Pittsburgh brings its own set of challenges for homeowners,” adds Polosky. “Our team specializes in identifying and addressing winter damage before it becomes a major problem during spring storms. We’re committed to helping Pittsburgh homeowners protect their biggest investment.”
