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.

Survey: 8 in 10 Gen Zers Say Social Media Distracts From Schoolwork

By: via Business Wire

75% of female students indicate social platforms drive comparison among peers

Tallo, an online platform that connects students with tailor-made opportunities and also helps its partners understand the preferences of early talent, found in a recent survey that Gen Z has a surprising perspective on social media when it comes to education.

While students spend a great deal of time on social media, they aren't necessarily there to connect with schools or employers. Schools and employers need to look to other online platforms that are geared toward college and career connections, like Tallo, to meet with students looking for opportunities.

“Schools and employers need to understand that digital natives are going to be interacting with their organizations in a much different way than generations before them,” said Casey Welch, CEO and co-founder of Tallo. “They should consider new ways to meet these students where they spend most of their time, and that’s online.”

The survey showed that 82% of Gen Zers said that social media had proven to be a distraction to them while doing schoolwork. It also revealed that 3 in 4 female respondents said that social media has caused them to compare themselves to peers, while only 56% of males said the same.

Students remain divided on the idea of colleges reaching out to them through their social media accounts, with 54% of respondents saying they would be comfortable with it and about 34% saying they would be uncomfortable with it. Despite this, a majority (71%) of digital natives stated they would prefer contact with colleges to occur via email, which also proved to be the most common method of communication used by schools themselves.

Despite the questionable impact on their wellbeing, these platforms pervade nearly all aspects of students’ lives, and are even utilized in their college searches. 59% of surveyed students said that they follow prospective colleges and universities on Instagram. This information could provide schools with useful insight when it comes to recruitment and engaging with prospective enrollees through social media.

The most popular platform among those surveyed was TikTok, which 34% of respondents said they spent the most time on. After that was Instagram, which 26% of Gen Zers said they spend the most time on. Facebook was used the most by only 4% of respondents, and Twitter was the least used, with only 2% of students spending most of their time on it.
