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.

The 2024 Customer Innovation Awards by Calix recognize broadband service providers (BSPs) leading industry transformation by leveraging the Calix Broadband Platform, and SmartLife™ managed services to prioritize exceptional subscriber experiences, resulting in outstanding business outcomes.

Lumos has achieved significant customer service, operational efficiency, and network engineering excellence. Further, Lumos aims to transition 100% of its network to fiber by 2026, providing a more energy-efficient technology that lasts longer and requires fewer materials to manufacture than copper wires.

“We aren’t just building fiber in underserved communities, we’re building a brighter tomorrow,” said Lumos Chief of Staff Bre Grandstaff. “Lumos has replaced 95% of its copper network with fiber, which isn’t just fast; it’s energy-efficient, uses less power and lasts longer, resulting in less production waste. It allows kids to learn from home, adults to work remotely and makes telehealth more accessible, all while supporting a smarter, greener world. Lumos is changing lives and making the world more sustainable, one passing at a time.”

"At Lumos, we understand how important it is for companies to make sustainable choices," said Lumos CEO Brian Stading. "Our goal is to be a sustainable, community-minded partner and bring a world-class online experience to our service areas. We plant roots in the community and want to enhance the way of life for all its residents."

Illustrating its commitment to sustainability, Lumos signed a $1.1B sustainability-linked infrastructure financing in 2023 to fund fiber expansion plans. The deal was the first project finance style fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure financing in the U.S. for an existing and integrated FTTH platform and the first U.S. FTTH sustainability-linked financing structure.
