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.

Sinclair Broadcast Group’s “Project Baltimore” Wins Prestigious IRE Award

WBFF/Fox45’s Investigative Unit Exposes Flaws in Baltimore Public School System 

Fourth Consecutive IRE Awarded to Sinclair

KUTV CBS2 in Salt Lake Named a Finalist

Sinclair Broadcast Group (NASDAQ: SBGI) is pleased to announce Project Baltimore, the special investigative reporting unit of WBFF/Fox 45 News, was honored by Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) for its reporting on Baltimore’s public school system, exposing ghost students and an alarming number of students with a failing GPA advancing through course levels.

This is the third time Project Baltimore has been honored with an IRE Award, and the fourth consecutive year a Sinclair newsroom is being honored.

In addition, KUTV in Salt Lake was an IRE finalist for their investigation into the systematic failures within Utah’s probation and parole system.

Established in 1979, the annual IRE Awards recognize outstanding investigative reporting from newsrooms across the globe, with contest entries screened and judged by IRE members who are working journalists.

Commenting on the honor, Scott Livingston, Senior Vice President of News said, “Asking questions, digging deeper, holding officials accountable and being a voice for the voiceless members of our community is at the core of what we do in our newsrooms. This recognition from our peers is a tremendous honor that reinforces Sinclair's commitment to impactful reporting with a local focus.”

In a year-long investigation, Project Baltimore shed light on the failures of the education system that have impacted generations of students, while providing the impetus for lawmakers and community members to finally make it right.

The investigation was prompted when a Baltimore City mother, Tiffany France, came forward with stunning information about her son’s education. In four years at Augusta Fells, a Baltimore City high school, he passed just three classes, yet the school was still promoting him through the course levels with a grade point average of only 0.13. Project Baltimore’s investigation uncovered he was one of many failing students passing through the school.

Additionally, Project Baltimore discovered state taxpayers paid nearly $93 million in a single year to educate 6,126 students whose whereabouts were unknown.

As a result of the investigation, the Maryland State Department of Education announced City Schools may have to pay back as much as $1.6 million that it received in 2019 to educate students who were not in school at Augusta Fells. Maryland’s Comptroller, who is the Democratic front-runner for Governor in 2022, is now calling for Maryland to change how it funds public schools and Republican leaders in Annapolis are joining in, introducing legislation this session.

Since its creation in 2017, Project Baltimore’s investigative work has been recognized with dozens of honors, including three National Headliner Awards, the SPJ Sigma Delta Chi Award, a National Press Photographers Association First Place award, and three prestigious IRE Awards. Additionally, Project Baltimore has won 21 Regional Emmy Awards, four Regional Edward R. Murrow Awards and six Associated Press Awards.

In addition, KUTV CBS2 in Salt Lake was named a finalist in the IRE competition for their investigation into the systematic failures within Utah’s probation and parole system. KUTV reported parole officials lost track of more than 300 parolees every month and agents falsely marked office visits “successful” even when the parolee failed to show up. Their investigation triggered the enactment of a new law that requires an immediate hold on any parolees accused of a new crime. It also led to a legislative audit of the Board of Pardons and Parole by Utah’s legislative auditor general.
