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.

NIST 800-171 Co-Author Dr. Ron Ross to Discuss New Revision at CMMC CON 2023

Federal contractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) got a key piece of information in May that will drive their compliance efforts with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 program. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updated guidance for protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI) via Special Publication 800-171, Revision 3, the backbone of CMMC 2.0.

Contractors can get historical insight into NIST's evolution and answers on the new draft at CyberSheath’s fourth-annual CMMC CON. Dr. Ron Ross, Co-Author of NIST 800-171, will be interviewed by CyberSheath CEO Eric Noonan during the free, one-day virtual conference on Sept. 27, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. EDT. Registration for the event is still open.

“Many of the newly added requirements specifically address threats to CUI, which recently has been a target of state-level espionage,” Dr. Ross said via the NIST website. “We want to implement and maintain state-of-the-practice defenses because the threat space is changing constantly. We tried to express those requirements in a way that shows contractors what we do and why in federal cybersecurity. There’s more useful detail now with less ambiguity.”

Dr. Ross has served as a Computer Scientist and Fellow at NIST for more than 25 years. He leads the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative, an interagency working group that develops the unified information security framework for the federal government and its contractors. He was inducted into the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) Hall of Fame in 2009 and the National Cyber Security Hall of Fame in 2015. He holds a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.

Dr. Ross joins a list of other established industry leaders speaking at CMMC CON 2023, including Microsoft Chief Architect Richard Wakeman and keynote speaker Robert O’Neill, a highly-decorated combat veteran who embodies this year’s CMMC CON theme, “Strive to Thrive.”
