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.

Award-Winning Author Releases New Children’s Book Celebrating Self-Acceptance

An award-winning children’s author in Florida has announced the release of a new edition of a book about self-discovery, individuality, and embracing one’s unique qualities.

Sticks and Stones by Cassie Brooks is the first book in the Magick and Me series and has been republished with new illustrations by Vaishnavi Dukhande to match her other two titles. In the book, readers meet Elijah, a young boy who plays with sticks and stones as magical objects. 

Although classmates call him “weird,” Elijah’s mom helps him realize the power of embracing who he is. The story highlights the importance of self-acceptance and the magic of standing out.

Cassie says: “The Magick in Me series was inspired by everyday conversations with my son, Elijah. This book reminds children—and myself—that being different is something to celebrate.”

The Magick in Me series also includes I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me, where Elijah learns he is never alone, with the moon symbolizing comfort and worth. And the third book is We Remember, which gently addresses grief and healing after the loss of a loved one.
Cassie has won multiple awards for her children’s books, including The Golden Wizard Book Prize (2023), the Richard Wright Literary Award for Best Children’s Picture Book Fantasy (2024), and the International Impact Award for Best Children’s Book on Grief (2025).

An accounting analyst by day and full-time mom, Cassie discovered her passion for children’s literature after years of creative exploration. Through the Magick in Me series, she encourages readers of all ages to embrace their uniqueness and live authentically.

Cassie is now preparing for the release of My True Colors, a new book focused on promoting understanding, empathy, and acceptance of the trans and LGBTQ+ community among young readers.

“I wanted Elijah, and every child, to know they don’t have to shrink themselves to fit in,” Cassie adds. “We each have our own magic—that’s what makes us special.”
Sticks and Stones is aimed at children aged between four and nine and offers valuable lessons on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and self-acceptance. The book is available now in both print and digital formats through Amazon and other major retailers.
