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.

MetLife Sponsors the Upcoming Annual Toyota HBCU New York Classic at MetLife Stadium

Sponsorship underscores MetLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting underserved and underrepresented communities

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced it is partnering with the Toyota Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) New York Classic for the second consecutive year. Featuring Morehouse College and Albany State University, the football game will take place at MetLife Stadium on September 16, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. ET. The event marks the start of HBCU Homecoming week, bringing together fans, students, and alumni from more than 100 HBCUs across the United States.

MetLife’s sponsorship builds on MetLife and MetLife Foundation’s rich history of enabling equitable access to education and fostering inclusive economic mobility for thousands of HBCU students. Through partnerships with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), MetLife has helped HBCU students since 1946.

“MetLife’s contribution to the Toyota HBCU NY Classic is aligned with our purpose,” said Michael Roberts, Chief Marketing Officer at MetLife. “We are proud to continue to support HBCUs and to set their students up for success by empowering them to build a more confident future.”

Albert Williams, President of Toyota HBCU New York Classic, added: “We would like to thank MetLife for helping us host the Toyota HBCU NY Classic, which is the world’s largest HBCU Homecoming. We are very grateful to MetLife for their partnership in uplifting our students and championing HBCUs for over seven decades.”

During the live broadcast on CNBC, MetLife will share a feature on Divada-Kamia Wilson, currently a student at Clark Atlanta University and recipient of a MetLife Foundation scholarship through UNCF. The video of Divada-Kamia’s inspiring story can be viewed here.

In addition to MetLife sponsoring the game, MetLife Foundation has recently granted an aggregate of $850,000 to launch several other HBCU-related initiatives, including:

  • Sponsoring a National HBCU Talent Development Internship Program in partnership with Local Initiatives Support Corporation, offering significant learning opportunities for juniors and seniors
  • Financing multiple technology-focused programs, including training in advanced technologies for TMCF scholars and an entrepreneurship challenge for North Carolina-based HBCU students in partnership with Pathway OZ
  • Supporting the Samuel DuBois Cook Center at Duke University that was completed in partnership with five HBCUs and is analyzing the impact of poverty, gentrification, and unemployment on African-American business ownership and growth

On the day of the game, MetLife will also participate in the Toyota HBCU NY Classic Career Expo. Taking place at MetLife Stadium from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET, MetLife and other participating companies will share career opportunities with upcoming and recent graduates, career seekers, and career switchers.
