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.

Registration for MITRE GameX eSports Tournament Opens with $1,000 in Daily Prizes for Top Winners

Experimental games to help U.S. Air Force better understand mission logistics choices and prioritization while under attack

In support of the U.S. Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC), MITRE opened public registration for its eSports tournament, GameX: Mission Generation Under Attack.

As part of an eSports-based human-in-the-loop experiment, GameX participants get a chance to prove their gaming skills and earn prize money, while providing AFIMSC with a better understanding of their challenges and with valuable insights on where to invest their resources.

“Even without adversary intervention, military logistics networks can be brittle and chaotic while also having single points of failure, creating ripe opportunities for attacks,” said Eliahu Niewood, vice president, Air and Space Forces, MITRE. “Plus, as the military plans and carries out the movement, supply, and maintenance of its forces, they easily could already be under attack in the next global conflict. GameX uses both military and civilian participants to test which logistics decisions will best enable the mission.”

Within the GameX: Mission Generation Under Attack tournament, teams of five play the game Drone Guardians and defend deployed locations from multi-domain attacks while continuing to generate fighter aircraft missions. Teams must make critical mission decisions such as whether to prioritize readying aircraft for launch over defending the air base or putting together a contested logistics strategy in order to ensure they have the supplies they need to complete the mission. Providing a challenge on multiple fronts, the game will require a mix of first-person shooter, strategy, and puzzle-solving skills for participants to be successful.

Competitions run 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, SC, September 22-23; at MITRE’s headquarters in McLean, VA, Oct. 13-14; and at MITRE’s regional office in San Antonio, TX, Oct. 20-21.

Cash prizes of $1,000 will be awarded to the daily winners, and door prizes will be given throughout each day.

Participants (18 years old or older) can register for free as individuals or teams at https://forms.office.com/g/Ur5QqEMcqV. Individual registrants will be placed into teams.
