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.

Vacasa Forecasts 2022 Summer Travel Trends in New Report

The leading vacation rental management platform gauges the temperature on seasonal travel and unveils its trending destinations

With summer vacation plans heating up, Vacasa (NASDAQ: VCSA), North America’s leading vacation rental management platform, collaborated with Allison+Partners to get the long and the short(s) of what Americans have planned for the peak travel season ahead. The key takeaway: people aren’t flip-flopping on their desire to travel. Vacasa’s joint survey* revealed that 63% of Americans plan to get away this summer, which is a slight jump from the 59% who planned to do so in 2021, and that 85% of summer travelers report plans to vacation more frequently this summer compared to last.

Though there are still factors keeping people homebound or undecided about summer vacations, including rising travel and gas prices, COVID-19 is having less of an impact on travel plans. At this point in the pandemic, more so than any other reason, people say they’re in need of a change in scenery or company this summer and are ready to splurge on vacation (especially parents). Where are they heading? Naturally, waterfront destinations are the top pick for summer travelers, followed by national parks, and Vacasa’s trending destinations—including Kauai, Hawaii, and Whistler, British Columbia—mirror that balance of beach-side and recreation-rich retreats. ‘Tis the sea-sun, right?

Here’s a first look at Vacasa’s 2022 Summer Travel Trends, issued today:

  • Sixty-three percent of Americans plan to get away for a summer vacation—a slight jump from the 59% who planned to do so in 2021—while 1 in 5 Americans remain undecided on seasonal travel plans (20%).
  • And the likelihood of travel only increases for people who can pack up the laptop and go: Those who work fully remote or in a hybrid format are both more likely to take a vacation this summer (75%) and more likely to travel more often than last year (91%).
  • Approximately 3 in 4 travelers (74%) are planning to keep their summer trips within the United States, while 26% of travelers are planning international trips this year. When it comes to what international locales are attracting tourists, it’s almost evenly split between Canada and/or Mexico and countries further abroad.
  • Fourth of July is the most popular summer holiday weekend for travel this year with nearly half of U.S. travelers (46%) planning to go somewhere, followed by Memorial Day (31%) and Labor Day (25%).
  • Thank mom and dad for, well, everything really: Turns out parents are splurging on food and drinks (77%), entertainment and activities (56%) and accommodations (42%) more so than non-parents (73%, 48% and 30%, respectively) during summer vacations.
  • Thirty-two percent of travelers plan to stay in a vacation rental this summer—a slight bump up from the spring survey—because they feel it’s the best value for their money (58%), gives them access to private home amenities (54%) and provides more privacy (47%).
  • Of those not planning to travel this summer, 1 in 4 are waiting until travel and/or gas prices are lower, while 20% of Americans aren’t traveling because they still don’t feel safe due to COVID-19. That’s a sizable drop since a similar question was asked in spring 2022, when 35% didn’t feel safe traveling, and an even more so since summer 2021, when 42% cited pandemic safety concerns.
