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.

Discover Reaches Goal of 1,000 Active Jobs in the Chatham Area, Fulfilling 3-Year Commitment to Chicago’s South Side

Local Leaders and Residents Joined Events Celebrating Discover's Continued Investment in Chicago

Discover® announced today that it has reached 1,000 active jobs as of this fall in the Chatham area. This achievement is a realization of its investment in people and its ongoing commitment to Chatham and the greater South Side. Since the opening of the Discover Customer Care Center in April 2021, Discover pledged to support the Chatham community workforce. Today, more than 85% of the 1,000 employees Discover hired as part its pledge to the Chatham community reside within a five-mile radius of the center. Additionally, nearly 500 employees have received promotions in the past three years, demonstrating Discover's dedication to advancing people internally and upskilling the local workforce.

"This milestone is a testament to our commitment to the Chatham community and the promises we made," said Dan Capozzi, executive vice president and president of Consumer Banking at Discover. "When the goal was set, we knew it was ambitious, but the hard work of our team and the overwhelming support of the community helped us achieve our vision."

To celebrate the milestone, Discover hosted a series of community events during the week of October 14, highlighting its ongoing engagement with Chatham. The celebration kicked off with a donut giveaway in partnership with the local pastry shop, Dat Donut, located at 8251 S. Cottage Grove, offering 1,000 customers a complimentary signature orange-glazed or orange-sprinkled donut when they said the code "Shine Bright®." In addition to enjoying delicious treats, attendees had the chance to take part in photo opportunities and access hiring information and resources.

Today, Discover hosted a Shine Bright Career and Community Day, bringing together community leaders and elementary school students from Chatham area schools for an interactive field trip. Students toured the Customer Care Center facility, where they heard from employees, learned about working at a corporate office, and shadowed leaders. The day concluded with a creative time capsule activity, which invited students to envision how they and their Chatham community will "shine bright" in the future.

"We couldn't have reached this achievement without the incredible support from the Chatham community," said April Williams-Luster, senior manager of community affairs. "It has truly been a collective partnership, and we’re excited to share this milestone with everyone who has played a role in this journey and continue our commitment to reinvesting on the South Side of Chicago."

Since its opening, the Discover Customer Care Center has significantly impacted the Chatham community through economic investment and community engagement. Discover spent more than $3 million with diverse local restaurants, $1 million with local vendors for daily facility operations, and $8 million with Black-owned contractors for construction projects, reinforcing its commitment to supporting Chatham's economy. The Shine Bright Community Center has also served as a hub for community activity, hosting more than 900 events that have drawn over 50,000 attendees since its opening. Additionally, through partnerships with over 350 nonprofit organizations, the center has become a key resource for fostering collaboration and growth within the community.

"Discover's promise to bring 1,000 jobs to Chatham is now a reality," said 6th Ward Alderman William Hall. "From day one, they’ve collaborated with the 6th Ward community partners, demonstrating how major corporations can make a huge impact by fostering local talent, improving infrastructure, and engaging key stakeholders throughout the process."
