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 event featured unique economic insights and commentary specific to the Greater Chicagoland area, an overview of manufacturing, and a 2025 outlook on the labor market, regulation and public policies, so that business owners can put data at the center of their decision-making.

“Chicago, home to the second most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. city, stands to reap the benefits of its excellent civic infrastructure and talent pool, which are driving in major investments that could revitalize commercial infrastructure,” said Jeff Korzenik, Fifth Third Commercial Bank chief economist.

This was the fifth Empowering American Cities event hosted by Fifth Third and the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise. Previous events took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Grand Rapids, Michigan and Columbus, Ohio. More than 1,000 individuals have attended the events designed to provide business owners, community leaders and others with tools to make successful, data-driven decisions.

Through the Empowering American Cities initiative, individuals can access economic information, including individually created dashboards, based on Kenan Institute research for all Extended Metropolitan Areas in the US. The EMAs account for nearly 90% of U.S. gross domestic product and encompass the 150 largest metropolitan areas from New York City, with its $2.5 trillion economic output, to cities such as Wilmington, North Carolina with its own unique economic and industrial traits.

While this data is proprietary to the Empowering American Cities program, it is available to anyone. Business owners can view information side-by-side to allow for direct comparisons of fiscal characteristics and other economic health indicators between EMAs.

“We believe there is a vital, continuing need to understand the economy at a scale that is meaningful, and this data can help accelerate decisions that drive sustainable growth for companies, their communities and ultimately our entire country,” said Korzenik.

In 2025, Empowering American Cities will release new economic data, whitepapers and host events in seven cities across Fifth Third’s footprint. The first event will take place in Los Angeles, California in February. Details will soon be available here.
