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.

Charles Automotive & Tire Launches New Vehicle Inspection Services Amid Unprecedented Community Response

Rockville, MD – September 4, 2025 — Charles Automotive & Tire, a trusted name in the Rockville community since the mid-1970s, is raising the bar once again with the launch of its new state-certified vehicle inspection services—and the response has been nothing short of remarkable.

Since officially opening the doors to their new Vehicle State Inspection Facility, Charles Automotive has seen a record surge in customer volume, leaving even longtime clients doing a double-take. The expanded service offering now allows Maryland drivers to conveniently handle their state-mandated safety inspections alongside Charles Automotive’s signature lineup of expert auto repair and maintenance services.

“We’ve been so busy, even our customers are saying, ‘I’ve never seen you all so busy—what are you all doing?’” said Hunter, the shop’s manager. “It’s been incredibly rewarding to see such a strong response from the community. We’re grateful for the trust our customers continue to place in us.”

Located at 12122 Nebel St, Rockville, MD 20852, Charles Automotive & Tire has built a loyal following by offering honest, reliable, and top-tier automotive care. The addition of the vehicle inspection service fills a growing need in the area and complements their full suite of maintenance offerings, including brake repair, suspension work, tire service, and routine oil changes.

But the buzz goes beyond just convenience. It’s about confidence—something Charles Automotive has earned through decades of delivering expert diagnostics, fair pricing, and a welcoming, community-first approach.

“People are looking for a place they can trust—not just to fix what’s broken, but to help them stay safe on the road,” added Gary Mendelson, the shop’s owner. “That’s always been our mission. With the new inspection lane, we’re simply making it easier for our customers to handle everything in one place.”

A Growing Need in Rockville and Beyond

With Rockville continuing to grow and Maryland residents prioritizing vehicle safety and compliance, Charles Automotive’s expansion couldn’t have come at a better time. The new inspection service caters to both individual drivers and local businesses needing fleet certifications—offering faster turnarounds, flexible scheduling, and ASE-certified technicians known for their attention to detail.

Already, word is spreading fast across nearby neighborhoods like Bethesda, Kensington, and Wheaton, drawing in first-time customers eager to experience the shop’s trusted reputation firsthand.

“It’s exciting to see Rockville residents choosing us not just for routine service, but now for inspections too,” said Hunter. “We’re welcoming a lot of new faces, but also reconnecting with customers we haven’t seen in a while—it’s been a full-circle moment.”

More Than a Service—It’s a Commitment to Community

Part of what sets Charles Automotive apart is its commitment to people over profit. This customer-first culture is reflected in everything from their transparent estimates, 3-Year Warranty on work,  and friendly staff to their clean, modern facility and online scheduling system.

That reputation hasn’t gone unnoticed—especially as customer reviews on platforms like Google and Yelp continue to pile up, praising the team’s professionalism, speed, and honest advice.

“Our goal is to help people feel empowered about their vehicle’s condition,” said Gary. “Whether it’s a Prius, a pickup, or a brand-new SUV, we treat every car—and every customer—with the same level of care.”
