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.

FICO Brings Analytics Challenge to Delaware State University to Empower the Next Generation of Data Scientists

The FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge allows students from data science, engineering, and technology backgrounds to improve their analytics skills

Global analytics software leader FICO is expanding its FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge to students at Delaware State University, the third Historically Black College and University (HBCU) to adopt the program. This semester’s Analytics Challenge at Delaware State focuses on identifying and mitigating bias in data and decision models using a historical lending data.

The FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge was created to amplify diversity, equity and inclusion in data science. The program provides students with real-world practitioner challenges and imparts technical skills to prepare them for data science careers in the financial services industry where firms are operationalizing AI, analytics, and machine learning. FICO is providing students access to their data scientists for technical/project support and mentoring opportunities. FICO’s Chief Analytics Officer, Dr. Scott Zoldi, will also present an in-person lecture on campus on Responsible AI and discuss the Analytics Challenge problem with student participants. In addition, the program provides financial support for each participating HBCU, enhancing analytics study and creating potential career opportunities for students after graduation.

“We are looking forward to working with FICO’s data science team to help enrich our students’ college experience with real-world knowledge and opportunities before they enter the workforce,” said Michael H. Casson Jr., Dean of College of Business at Delaware State University. “Thank you to FICO for creating a program that encourages students to explore complex data science decisions, as well as the ability to learn how to use Responsible AI to protect and safely advance analytic practices.”

FICO first launched the Analytics Challenge with Bowie State University and Alabama A&M University in the Fall 2023 semester. Working with students from a variety of backgrounds across both schools, the challenge empowered the universities and students to further their work in the data science field.

“The Analytics Challenge is a passion program of mine, and I am looking forward to meeting and working with the Delaware State students this semester. Of the most important lessons that the Bowie State and Alabama A&M students learned from identifying inherent biases in data was the need for a strong and diverse team working diligently to understand, hypothesize, and clean the data,” said Dr. Scott Zoldi, Chief Analytics Officer at FICO. “Students are at the forefront of future AI innovation and gaining valuable experience now using AI tools responsibly and ethically is critical.”

FICO has a long-standing commitment to innovation and views diversity as critical for success. Dr. Scott Zoldi is set to launch a fraud-specific FICO® Educational Analytics Challenge program for the Fall 2024 semester. College participants and additional details forthcoming.
