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.

Ready, Set, Robot: The 2024 Robotic Competition Has Begun!

As society moves closer to “Skynet” than ever before, Stride K12 is encouraging students nationwide to prepare for battle as they announce the 2024 K12 Robotics Competition and urges students across the country to unleash their Robo-Rivalry.

The 2024 K12 Robotics Competition, part of K12’s Student Enrichment Programs, is open to all students in grades 4–12. This includes students enrolled at K12-powered schools as well as students at any other school in the U.S.

“With the rise of artificial intelligence, we are seeing firsthand the impact that technology is having on our everyday life. Competitions like these give students a fun way to learn technology, competitive skills, and get a head start on a great career working as the innovators of our future,” said Karen Ghidotti, Stride Senior Vice President of Customer Experience and Advocacy.

Students will compete as a team of 2 to 3 members. Each team must register an instructor—this can be a parent, guardian, teacher, or other adult who will act as a mentor or guide throughout the competition. Instructors will have access to training materials and the robotics software.

There is a low entry fee of $40 per student or team to cover Cogmation software, instructor training, and access to the K12 Robotics competitions.

The first three rounds will take place virtually and the Top 18 semi-finalists will compete in person coming June 2024. Prizes will be awarded to the winning team in six distinct categories. The teams with the highest score in each grade band and skill level at the national competition will receive a trophy and prize. The deadline to enter is October 31, 2023.

The competition is divided into three grade bands (4–6, 7–9, and 10–12). Each band consists of two skill levels: intermediate and advanced. This structure allows students to choose the appropriate level based on their expertise and experience. Stride will provide training sessions to equip instructors with the knowledge and skills required to guide their teams effectively through the challenges.

K12 Enrichment Programs help ignite interests in students in grades K-12th and encourage them to learn new skills, build a portfolio of creative work, and foster long-lasting friendships and connections.

Registration is open today and is available to all students nationwide. Other available enrichment programs include national art competitions, cookoffs, environmental innovation challenge, creative storytelling through photography, and more.
