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.

Vizient’s humanitarian award is named for the late Dr. Norman Borlaug, an agronomist who was known as “the man who saved a billion lives” for his revolutionary approach to plant breeding that resulted in exponentially increased yields of a wheat variety that actively resists drought and disease.

“It is a pleasure to honor Ignite with the Norman Borlaug Award,” said Colleen Risk, chief people officer for Vizient. “Providing homeless youth with not just a stable place to live, but opportunities to grow and thrive, is work of utmost importance. Ignite honors the legacy of Dr. Borlaug, and we are excited to contribute to their efforts to address factors that contribute to homelessness in young people.”

Each year at its annual Connections Education Summit, which is attended by thousands of health care professionals, manufacturers and suppliers, Vizient presents the Norman Borlaug Humanitarian Award to a nonprofit organization doing extraordinary work to make a real difference in the world. Nominations for the award are submitted by Vizient member health care organizations, suppliers and employees.

“It’s an honor to be recognized for the 45 years of service that Ignite has provided to youth experiencing homelessness," said Stephanie Piccirilli, president and CEO of Ignite. "This recognition not only celebrates how all of us are connected in creating meaningful change—but it truly honors the spirit of every young person to thrive and live into a future that’s meant for them.”
