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.

Will Counsel Clients on Meeting Strategy and Oversee Event Design and Execution

Virtual, Inc. today announced the appointment of Derrick Johnson II, CMP, DES as Events Director. Virtual provides professional services to associations, standards organizations, consortia, advocacy groups and professional societies. Johnson comes to Virtual with extensive experience in driving successful event strategies and measurement for hybrid and virtual conferences, including city-wide events, seminars and trade shows.

As Events Director based in Virtual’s Reston, VA. office, Johnson will advise clients and develop effective event and meeting strategies and plans.

Prior to joining Virtual, Inc., Johnson founded the Organization for Social Empact, where he developed empathy-driven, effective and measurable solutions for organizations addressing unique diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility challenges. Earlier, Johnson served as Talley Management Group’s chief diversity officer and director of event strategy.

“I’m so pleased to welcome Derrick to our events team,” said Margot Rodger, vice president, Events and Meetings. “In addition to his many certificates and credentials in the field, he has held multiple industry leadership roles. His deep industry engagement, broad knowledge and innovative ideas will be an asset to our clients navigating both a return to in-person events and the continuation of online programs as part of their evolving event strategy.”

A graduate of the University of Florida and a Certified Meeting Professional, Johnson holds a Master of Science degree in Business Leadership and Management from Western Governors University. In addition, he has a certificate in Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Business Strategy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workforce Certificate from the University of South Florida; a Sustainability and Social Impact Certificate from the Event Industry Council; and the Digital Event Strategist (DES) Credential from the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA).

“I am excited about the opportunity to put my experience to work on behalf of Virtual clients and lead our event teams down new paths that might not have been considered,” said Johnson. “My goal is for us to deliver successful experiences that not only meet our clients’ expectations, but significantly surpass them.”

Adding to his experience in the field, Johnson has served five years on the PCMA board. He facilitated the organization’s Digital Event Strategist Certification Course in 2020, which guided thousands of business event professionals through an evolved digital mindset at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. He currently serves as chair of the board for the LGBT Meeting Professionals Association and recently completed a term on the Lesbian and Gay Band Association Board of Directors.
