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.

Linshu County, Shandong Province: Sweet Potato Industry Paves the Way to Prosperity

Now is the golden season for sweet potato harvesting. The fields of Linshu County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, are bustling with activity. Villagers are seizing the time to dig up sweet potatoes, and plump, reddish potatoes are emerging from the soil. Farmers, with smiling faces, are meticulously sorting and packing the freshly harvested sweet potatoes, painting a vibrant picture of a bountiful harvest.

Linshu County has a long history of sweet potato cultivation. According to the Linshu County Annals, in 1949, the county cultivated 119,400 mu (approximately 7,960 hectares) of sweet potatoes, with a yield of 165 jin (82.5 kg) of dried sweet potatoes per mu. Located in the southern part of the Ludong Hilly Area, Linshu enjoys a warm temperate monsoon climate with semi-humid continental conditions. The distinct seasons, warm spring with ample sunlight, hot and humid summer with abundant rainfall, and cool autumn, combined with deep, loose soil, make it an ideal region for sweet potato cultivation.

Thanks to its unique climate and geographical advantages, Linshu produces sweet potatoes of moderate size, smooth skin, and fine texture. The skin ranges from purplish-red to yellow, while the flesh varies from yellow to orange-red or red. Rich in protein, starch, selenium, and other nutrients, these sweet potatoes become fragrant, sweet, soft, and sticky when roasted or processed, making them highly popular among food enthusiasts.

In Linshu, visitors can indulge in a full sweet potato feast, featuring boiled sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, sweet potato pancakes, sweet potato porridge, and more. Each dish, meticulously prepared from sweet potatoes, is a mouthwatering delight. Additionally, locals use traditional methods to produce sweet potato noodles and sheets, sell roasted sweet potatoes and baked sweet potato pancakes as packaged tourist products. Many young villagers have also acquired new sweet potato processing techniques through external training, launching popular products such as sweet potato pastries, fries, and sweet potato milk tea.

Over the years, Linshu County has leveraged its resource advantages to vigorously develop the sweet potato industry. By focusing on building, supplementing, strengthening, and extending the industrial chain, the county has driven the transformation and upgrading of the entire processing industrial chain for distinctive agricultural products. It has established a sweet potato industrial cluster comprising over 30 companies engaged in planting, processing, and sales, such as Shandong Huaqiang Agricultural Technology Company, Linshu County Runyu Food Co., Ltd., Jinfeng Commune, and Shandong Jinshudi Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. In addition to traditional products like noodles, sheets, and starch, the county continues to develop high-tech, high-value-added modified starch products, including convenience foods, fast food, semi-finished products, and kitchen ingredients. Sweet potato brands like “Qianjinshu” and “Jitang Noodles” have gained significant recognition, with products exported to Japan, South Korea, and other regions.

The sweet potato planting area in Linshu remains stable at over 150,000 mu (10,000 hectares) annually, with a total yearly output exceeding 500,000 tons and a per-mu output value of more than 4,800 yuan. “Linshu Sweet Potato” has become a renowned regional brand and successfully obtained national geographical indication certification for agricultural products in 2017, further enhancing its golden reputation.
