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.

Sallie Mae Provides Tips and Tools to Help Students and Families Access Scholarships This National Scholarship Month

64% of Families Used Scholarships to Cover Education Costs in AY 2023-2024 But Misconceptions about Eligibility and Availability Persist

November is National Scholarship Month, an ideal time for students and families to explore scholarship opportunities. The key is knowing where to find them, and when, and how to apply.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241112528116/en/

While research from Sallie Mae and Ipsos confirms 64% of families used scholarships to pay for higher education, millions of dollars in scholarships go unclaimed every year. In addition, misconceptions about scholarships persist. More than half (52%) of families believe scholarships are only available to students with exceptional grades or talents, and families who didn’t apply cited lack of awareness (50%), doubt in winning (32%), and effort required (21%).

“Researching and applying for scholarships should be a critical aspect of planning for higher education but too often they go unclaimed,” said Rick Castellano, vice president, Sallie Mae. “We’re committed to providing students and families with free tools and resources to unlock these opportunities which can help make college more accessible and affordable.”

Sallie Mae offers tips and free resources to help students and families research and apply for scholarships:

  • Start Early — Many scholarships opportunities have deadlines during junior or senior year of high school. Keep a checklist of application deadlines and requirements to avoid missing out on key opportunities.
  • Complete the FAFSA® — The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the gateway to accessing more than $100 billion scholarships, grants, and federal financial aid. Be sure to apply every year in school to be eligible.
  • Use Free Scholarship Tools Scholarship Search by Sallie is free and connects students to hundreds of scholarships —no registration required.
  • Target Niche Scholarships — Look for scholarships that match your unique background, skills, or interests. These smaller, more targeted awards may have less competition.
  • Perfect Your Application — Make sure scholarship essays and application materials stand out. Seek guidance from teachers or mentors to strengthen your chances.
  • Apply Every Year — Scholarships aren’t just for incoming freshmen. Despite the emphasis on finding scholarships when entering college, approximately 50% of available scholarships are for students already enrolled.

In addition to its free scholarship search tool, Sallie Mae also offers its own scholarships to help students access and complete higher education. The Sallie Mae Fund, in partnership with Thurgood Marshall College Fund, has awarded nearly $4 million through its Bridging the Dream Scholarship Program.
