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.

The U.S. Must Take a “Whole-Of-Nation” Approach to Handle the Increased Traffic—and Competition—in Space

MITRE and the Aspen Institute Release Report: “The Space Imperative: A Whole-Of-Nation Approach to a Sustainable, Secure, and Resilient Space Domain”

As private companies and governments worldwide launch an ever-growing number of satellites and rockets into outer space, new challenges abound back on the ground. Commercial, civil, and military stakeholders need to take a comprehensive, whole-of-nation approach to handle the increased traffic—and competition—in space, according to a study released today by MITRE and the Aspen Institute.

Titled “The Space Imperative: A Whole-Of-Nation Approach to a Sustainable, Secure, and Resilient Space Domain,” the report argues that continued U.S. leadership in space is at a critical juncture. As private space companies and foreign adversaries have gotten into the game, new challenges have emerged, including “a lack of norms of responsible behavior, an outdated regulatory framework, and insufficient complementary technical infrastructure to assure the security, resilience, and sustainability of the U.S.-envisioned space environment.”

“If we act now, the United States can retain its vital role as a leader in the international space community,” said Kerry Buckley, MITRE vice president, Center for Advanced Aviation System Development, and one of the report’s authors. “Only by moving rapidly can we set the conditions for a secure space operating environment and ensure sustained economic growth.”

From November 2021 through July 2022, MITRE and Aspen Institute hosted a series of meetings focused on maintaining a U.S. competitive advantage in space, with more than 60 space stakeholders representing industry, government, academia, non-profits, and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs). The participants identified three overarching challenges, and today MITRE and Aspen Institute propose three corresponding recommendations:

  1. “Lead by example, declaring and enforcing norms of responsible behavior for U.S. operators that will serve as a precedent for other spacefaring nations.”
  2. “Reform the existing space regulatory structure, naming a single federal agency responsible for authorizing and overseeing U.S. commercial space missions, to both streamline approvals and better manage risk in the space domain.”
  3. “Create a forum for sustained space stakeholder engagement to enable the National Space Council to reconcile commercial, civil, and military interests and coordinate developments of complementary space systems infrastructure.”

Unlike the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, today’s space competition and innovation rely more heavily on the commercial space sector. Now is the time to act, the MITRE and Aspen Institute report states. Doing so will ensure the security, resilience, and sustainability of U.S. space systems, and the space operating environment, today and in the future.
