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.

Ready, Set, Snow: Vacasa Issues First Ski & Winter Search Report

The leading vacation rental management platform reveals this season’s top travel takeaways, based on booking and search data for mountain destinations

According to the 2021 Holiday Forecast and Winter Travel Trends survey from Vacasa (NASDAQ: VCSA), North America’s leading vacation rental management platform, 63% of Americans planned to take a trip in 2022 and 82% of those travelers planned to travel more often than last year. So, as the first month of the new year comes to a close, Vacasa dug into the latest booking trends to see how people are plotting out their snow-season getaways and how it stacks (or, rather, snow packs) up to last year.

Released today, Vacasa’s 2022 Ski & Winter Search Report* plows through months of Vacasa data, including millions of site visits and thousands of vacation home reservations in 15 popular U.S. ski markets—from California to Vermont—as well as Canada and a few snowbird escapes, too.

From the must-have amenities for wintry escapes to how the season impacts length of stay, here are five of the report’s top takeaways—plus a tip on when to search for ski trips to get ahead of the curve:

  • Ski trip searching starts in fall: Though search engine traffic to Vacasa’s ski-in/ski-out vacation rentals page started climbing high in October 2021, the page saw its highest organic traffic of the year in December.
  • As nights get longer, so do trips: Guests are bundling up and settling in for winter stays—this year, 56% of winter reservations in Vacasa’s ski markets are for 4-7 nights compared to just 27% of 2021 summer reservations for that same length.
  • Choosing condos over cabins: Vacation rental condos, which are more likely to have ski-in/ski-out perks, emerged as the accommodation of choice across the ski markets.
  • Amenities for convenience—and coziness: It’s no surprise that “ski-in/ski-out” ranked as the most-searched amenity in ski markets, followed by “hot tub” at #2, but surprised to see “washer and dryer” at number three on the list? Packing several sets of ski clothes can be bulky, after all.
  • Heading south for the winter: A number of warm-weather destinations are seeing big jumps in occupancy this season, too, as travelers seek to return to the sunny beaches of Hawaii and the magic of Disney World.

“Summer has become synonymous with vacation, but winter getaways and ski trips in particular are a time-honored tradition that travelers look forward to each year. Using Vacasa data, we were able to look at not only how and when people are planning these vacations, but also the features and snowy—or snowbird—destinations they’re prioritizing,” said Caleb Donegan, VP of Marketing at Vacasa. “Our findings show that the change in seasons does influence travel behavior and vacation rental preferences, and both shifts have been especially visible within the broader context of the pandemic.”

Vacasa’s full 2022 Ski & Winter Search Report is available here.

*Methodology Note: For this report, the winter/ski season is defined as December 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022, and the summer season is defined as June 1, 2021, through August 31, 2021. Booking data reflects all Vacasa reservations from these time periods. Percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

The term “ski markets” used throughout this report encompasses data from the following markets: High Sierras and Lake Tahoe, CA; Aspen/Snowmass, Front Range, Steamboat Springs, Summit County, Vail/Beaver Creek, and Winter Park, CO; McCall, Panhandle, and Sun Valley/Ketchum, ID; Northern Montana; Mt. Hood, OR; Okemo, VT; Wyoming; and British Columbia and Ontario, Canada.
