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.

U.S. Small Business Job Growth Continues as Wage Inflation Moderates to Close 2023

By: via Business Wire

U.S. small businesses experienced job growth for all of 2023 and extended a cycle of consistent job growth for 33-straight months, according to December data from the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch. The Small Business Jobs Index closed the year at 101.21 (1.2% growth), while hourly earnings growth for U.S. workers in December (3.48%) was down from 4.93% in December of 2022.

“As the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch has consistently shown all year, the resiliency of the small business community has allowed them to meet the many challenges of 2023 and continue to grow,” said John Gibson, Paychex president and CEO. “Wage inflation also continues to slow indicating that the actions taken by the Fed are having their desired effect on inflation.”

“With a prolonged tight labor market challenging employers to find and retain qualified workers, policymakers should focus their efforts on increasing the participation rate and quality of the U.S. workforce. The Fed’s actions appear to be driving a soft landing as we’ve seen wage inflation normalize without negative impacts on job growth across the U.S. As we look ahead to 2024, small businesses will need to continue to show their resilience as they face many of the same challenges of 2023, such as retaining and attracting quality employees, accessing affordable growth capital, and navigating even more government regulations,” Gibson added.

2023 Year in Review

  • Nationally, small businesses have experienced job growth for all of 2023, extending a streak of consistent job growth to 33-straight months.
  • In 2023, wage growth continued to slow through the year, decreasing about one and a half percent from 4.93% in December 2022 to 3.48% in December 2023. In addition, weekly hours worked growth in 2023 was the most stable it has been since 2018.
  • All 20 of the largest U.S. states reported positive job growth to end 2023 and eight of those increased their rate of job growth during 2023.
  • At 101.75, the South led regions in December and had the strongest rate of job growth for 11 of 12 months in 2023, while the West region slowed the most during 2023 (1.11 percentage points).

December 2023 Highlights

  • In December, small business job growth increased by 1.21%, standing at 101.21.
  • Hourly earnings growth for U.S. workers in December (3.48%) was relatively unchanged since November (3.47%).
  • The average pace of job growth in 2023 remained above the growth rate leading up to the pandemic (March 2019 – February 2020) when it was 101.10.
  • At 100.66 in December, Leisure and Hospitality slowed its pace of job growth the most among sectors (2.46 percentage points) and, while the sector started 2023 first, it ended ranked sixth in job growth.
