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.

New, Streamlined FAFSA® Available Dec. 31: What Families Should Do Now to Get Prepared and Why Filing As Soon As Possible Is So Important

Almost 30% of College-Going Families Skipped The FAFSA® Last Year, Potentially Missing Out on Grants, Scholarships, and Federal Financial Aid

Sallie Mae Introduces Free, Step-by-Step Guide to Help More Families Complete the FAFSA®

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is the gateway to accessing more than $100 billion in grants, scholarships, and federal financial aid for higher education, and a new, streamlined application will be available on Dec. 31. Now is the time for families to get prepared to complete this all-important form, and Sallie Mae has a free, step-by-step guide to help families get in line for free money for higher education.

“Submitting the FAFSA® on, or as close to Dec. 31 is critical since some aid is provided on a first-come first-served basis,” said Rick Castellano, vice president, Sallie Mae. “The good news is the streamlined FAFSA has fewer questions and should expand Pell Grant eligibility for those students and families who need the most support.”

Roughly 30% of families reported skipping the FAFSA last year. Among the main reasons for not completing, families believed their income was too high to qualify for aid, (29%), the application was complicated and confusing (20%), and they did have the correct information to complete the form (19%).

In addition to fewer questions and expanding eligibility for federal financial aid, the new FAFSA will offer an updated user experience, including role-based questions specific for students and parents, and a simpler process to submit financial information through IRS data. The number of family members in college is no longer factored into the federal formula, however, which could impact those students who have siblings in college at the same time.

Sallie Mae offers the following tips from its new, free FAFSA® resource to help families prepare and complete the updated form with confidence:

  • Do your homework before you file — While the new FAFSA® form should be easier to complete this year, families will still need to prepare ahead of time. Students need a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, and unlike previous years, they can no longer start the FAFSA® without already having it. Students should make an ID at least 3-5 business days before they plan to apply.
  • Check additional deadlines — Many states and colleges set priority deadlines to submit the FAFSA® to be considered for aid. Families can check deadlines for each state and school.
  • Don’t assume you won’t qualify for aid — Just about every student and family qualifies for some form of aid. There are also a wide-variety of available scholarships. In addition to completing the FAFSA, free resources like Scholly by Sallie can help families maximize as much free money as possible.
  • Remember to file each year — FAFSA® applications should be completed every year in school. Students should save and file their FSA ID and set a reminder for when it’s time to file again.
  • Never pay to fill out the FAFSA® — Filing is free, period. There are also a variety of free resources to help student and families complete the FAFSA.
