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.

Care.com and Stride Team Up to Provide Caregivers Access to Health Insurance and Other Benefits

Care.com, the world’s largest online platform for finding and managing family care, and Stride Health, the only benefits platform built for independent workers, have joined forces to provide caregivers access to personalized affordable benefit plans. Via Stride’s portable benefits platform, caregivers using Care.com can customize and select health insurance and dental and vision benefits. The service, which is a resumption and expansion of a program originally launched by the two companies in 2016, launched at the start of the 2024 open enrollment period on November 1, 2023 and will run through December 15, 2023 when open enrollment ends.

In-home caregivers, which include nannies, babysitters, and senior care aides, comprise a significant portion of the overall care workforce, which enables families to work, driving overall economic growth. For childcare alone, Care.com’s 2023 Cost of Care Survey reported that 30 percent of American families rely on nannies, a number which is expected to rise as more daycares close due to recently lapsed Federal funding. Yet despite the critical role caregivers play in society, they lack the fundamental benefits typically offered in professional workplaces.

In making the announcement, Naaz Nichols, Care.com’s Chief Customer Experience Officer, said, “Our society cannot function without the work performed by care providers yet they are expected to work without the safety net of benefits most of us take for granted. By joining forces with Stride, we are making sure that this critical workforce has access to affordable comprehensive benefit plans that support their families just as they do ours.”

In addition to affordable health, dental and vision coverage, users of the Stride platform will be able to: easily see if they qualify for ACA tax credits which could significantly lower their overall healthcare costs; access Stride’s mobile app to track work-related expenses, such as mileage or meals, to help lower their tax bill; and have free, year-round access to Stride's customer service team of licensed, qualified agents to help them get the most of their benefits.

“Stride was founded on the premise that everyone, no matter the type of work they do, should have access to affordable healthcare coverage and benefits,” said Noah Lang, co-founder and CEO of Stride. “Caregiving is a type of work that often goes overlooked - and yet it’s crucial to society and our modern-day economy. We’re excited to connect with the extensive caregiver population on Care’s platform and ensure that they have access to the basic benefits that they need to keep themselves healthy.”
