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.

Virtual High School Graduates From Across the State Gather for an In-Person Ceremony

CASC Put Me On A Path for Career and College, One Senior Says

The Class of 2023 – the largest senior class ever at Cyber Academy of South Carolina (CASC) – will don their caps and gowns this Saturday, June 3, and receive their high school diplomas, officially crossing an age-old milestone. Most of these 320 cyber-students will celebrate during an in-person ceremony in Columbia, S.C.’s, Koger Center for the Arts on the University of South Carolina campus. Others will follow up with a virtual celebration – true to their education format – on June 6.

One of those virtual seniors is Emily Willis from Enoree S.C., who transferred to CASC her sophomore year when the family found the virtual school offered a more accommodating approach than her traditional school. She credits CASC for her focus and excitement about college and a career.

"Thanks to CASC’s college career prep program, I was inspired to try STEM classes, and now I want to work in coding and cybersecurity. I'm excited to start college at USC Upstate this fall knowing exactly what career path I'm on," she says.

CASC graduation at-a-glance

  • Time and place. June 3, 1 p.m., at the Koger Center for the Arts on the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia, S.C. More than 200 students will be present in caps and gowns. There will be a virtual ceremony on June 6 for those not able to participate in the in-person event.
  • Early graduation. Fifty-seven of the 320 students are graduating at least a year early, and many are dual-enrollment students at their local community colleges. Last year, 53 students graduated early.
  • Next steps. CASC students go on to do many different things after high school, be it college, a trade school or career, or enlisting in the military. Almost two-thirds of the class will go on to college. Choices include most of the state’s technical colleges, SC State, USC Columbia, Oberlin College, Duke University, Georgetown, The Citadel, Clemson, Arizona State and more.
  • Classes and pathways. Many CASC students complete a course of study in one of seven “career cluster” pathways: health sciences, human services, finance, information technology, education and training, business management, marketing, and career and technical learning and work-based learning. Each career cluster identifies different pathways from high school to college to graduate school to career.

“We are so proud of our graduates and very excited to see our school grow year over year,” says Nicki Batson, CASC executive director. “Our students are virtual learners, but they are very involved in traditional school activities and milestones. They participate in state and national competitions, committees, clubs, and community service and learn valuable in-person skills with special events and opportunities. For example, our 2023 graduates attended an in-person prom in April.”

This was certainly true for Emily, who in addition to dual-enrollment classes, community service, Beta Club, National Honor Society and student council, was recently celebrated for her commitment to pursuing a STEM career path by the likes of Boeing and BMW during a STEM Signing DAY.

“I have a 4-year mentorship with Boeing as I pursue my degree at USC Upstate,” she explains. “They will continue to check in and support me in my studies, with the possibility of an internship. This happened because I was given an advantage at CASC. My milestones were higher and they encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and dream big.”

Her mother Karen Willis agrees. “When we made the decision to pull her out of a traditional public school and put her in CASC, we weren’t sure what to expect. But after a brief transition, it was clear we found the right program for Emily. She was pushed and encouraged, and pretty soon she opened up and was trying all sorts of new things. It was very exciting to watch,” she says.
