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.

Local Piedmont Student Wins Regional Spelling Bee

Will Compete For National Title in June

For the second year in a row, her talent for spelling was all the buzz as Queen Bee Angel Canete won the Stride regional spelling bee representing Cyber Academy of South Carolina (CASC). The event was held by K12, a Stride, Inc. company, that offers both private and public virtual school options for K-12 students across the country.

“Spelling bees are an age-old tradition that provides students with a fun, competitive way to hone their skills, learn new words, and make friends,” says Nicki Batson, CASC executive director. “CASC students are precocious and love a good challenge, and always look forward to the event. In addition to classroom pursuits, our extracurricular activities are an important way to help improve confidence and provide a clear pathway for students to expand their skills amid the company of classmates from around the country.”

Sophomore Angel of Boiling Springs, South Carolina, who is 15 years old, was one of 30 regional winners in grades 3-12 who will meet in Reston, Virginia, on June 7, to compete for the national spelling bee title. She competed against 11 students.

Her word for the win? Replete. The most challenging word she spelled? Theomachy.

Angel is no stranger to competition. She says her preparation for the spelling bee isn’t about cramming but instead is a culmination of focused, independent study and confidence from many other academic and sporting events she’s taken part in – that and practicing her spelling from a list of 4,000 words on her hour-long drive 6 days a week to and from the dojo where she trains as an elite karate athlete and competitor.

“I am excited and ready to fly to Virginia for a chance to compete again at the national spelling bee – I came in second last year,” says Angel. “It’s fun to meet all of our classmates from around the country and make new friends – we all have virtual learning in common, and it’s nice to compare notes and see what everyone else is doing schoolwise. I met my best friend at a National Beta Club competition several years ago.”

Angel’s sister was also a CASC graduate who earned high honors during her time at the academy. Their mother, Elisa Canete, attributes their academic success to the independence, focus and perseverance they learned from karate and virtual school. “Whatever they start, they decide to go all the way. And if things get tough, they work harder and find their way through,” she says.

This will be the third Annual K12 Spelling Bee. The first and second-place winners from each region will be flown in to attend. Angel will be joined by Kaylen Gregg from the Digital Academy of Florida, another K12 virtual school. The national competition can be viewed by reserving a spot here.

The prizes for the national elementary, middle, and high school winners will be:

  • First place, a $2,500 Amazon e-gift card, and a Microsoft Surface tablet
  • Second place, a $1,000 Amazon e-gift card
  • Third place, a $500 Amazon e-gift card
