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.

Heavy Equipment Classes Now Available to Washington Online Schoolers

By: via Business Wire

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 612 and Washington Virtual Academies (WAVA) have partnered with its charter, the Omak School District, and school districts across the state, to offer the new Operating Engineers Career Pathway Program to high school students.

This program gives students the opportunity to enroll in online elective courses that are designed to introduce them to the heavy equipment industry. Students also may have the opportunity to receive hands-on experience operating equipment at the Local 302/612 Training Center in Ellensburg, WA.

Pathway participants earn high school credit and are also eligible for apprenticeship credit after graduation. Students can remain enrolled in their local school while taking four, one-semester classes that cover topics from equipment fundamentals to grade and construction math. The online classes offer flexibility, and in-person learning events that provide hands-on experience and industry networking opportunities.

The program's success comes as companies report a shortage of skilled labor. And jobs in the trades have gained attention for being meaningful careers with good wages & benefits, without the need for burdensome college debt.

Programs in other states like Minnesota and Wisconsin have been highly successful. Fall enrollment for this program in Washington is available as of today.

“This is an amazing opportunity for students to learn about this life-long career pathway, while still in high school,” said Susan Mouracade-Boyer, Executive Director of WAVA. “Students get job skills and a whole new appreciation for what it takes to get these important jobs done.”

“The state of Washington will always need people for skilled labor jobs. They are never going to go away. With this Operating Engineers program, we can get some young people excited about their future, provide them with skills, and hopefully move them on to high paying apprenticeships in this important field,” said Kevin Tedrick, Assistant Business Manager of IUOE Local 612.

Builders, contractors, and their industry groups have been advocating for this kind of early hands-on learning for high school students as a way to show them the great career pathways available in the building trades.

“This is a great opportunity for students to progress on their pathway to graduation and learn valuable skills to help fill family-wage jobs right here in Washington,” said Al Audette, Director of Education and Workforce Development at the Building Industry Association of Washington.
