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.

Nearly One-Third of U.S. Renters Rank Housing Affordability As a Top-Three Issue in the Presidential Election: Redfin Survey

Nearly one-quarter of prospective first-time homebuyers say they are waiting until after the election to purchase a home. Additionally, homeowners are more likely to believe Trump is the best candidate for keeping home values high versus Harris, according to a Redfin survey fielded last month

(NASDAQ: RDFN) — Nearly one-third (31.6%) of U.S. renters say housing affordability is a top-three issue when it comes to which candidate they’ll support in the upcoming presidential election, according to a new survey from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

Redfin published three separate reports today about the intersection of housing and the upcoming presidential election, all based on a Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by Ipsos in September 2024, which was fielded to 1,802 people aged 18-65:

The first report focuses on which issues are important to renters and homeowners when it comes to which candidate they’ll support in the election.

  • 31.6% of renters said housing affordability is a top-three issue, as stated above; that’s compared to 17.1% of homeowners.
  • Kamala Harris voters were slightly more likely than Donald Trump voters to rank housing affordability as a top issue. One-quarter (25.1%) of all respondents who plan to vote for Kamala Harris ranked housing affordability as a top-three issue, compared with 20.4% of respondents who plan to vote for Donald Trump.
  • Over half (52.1%) of surveyed homeowners reported feeling better off financially than four years ago, compared to less than half (44.2%) of renters. That discrepancy is partly because soaring housing prices have helped homeowners build home equity.

The second report focuses on the share of house hunters who are waiting until after the election to buy a home.

  • Nearly one-quarter (23%) of prospective first-time buyers who are likely to purchase their first home in the next year said they are waiting until after the election.
  • Over a quarter (26.1%) of prospective first-time homebuyers are waiting to see if Harris’ housing plan—which includes $25,000 in downpayment assistance for some buyers—goes into effect before they purchase a home.
  • Nearly one in six (15.9%) are waiting to see if Trump’s plans for tackling “issues with affordable housing” are enacted.

The third report focuses on which candidate homeowners believe would be best for keeping home values high.

  • 41.6% of homeowners believe Donald Trump would be best for keeping home values high, while 35.3% believe Kamala Harris would be best.
