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.

GE Appliances' "Elf-gineers" Adapt and Donate More Than 100 Toys for Kids With Disabilities

Employee Volunteers Spread Holiday Cheer and Foster Inclusivity

This holiday season, a team of passionate and innovative employees from GE Appliances, a Haier company, known as the "GE Appliances Elf-gineers," dedicated their time and engineering expertise to adapt more than 100 toys for local children with disabilities. The goal: to help ensure every child can experience the magic of play, regardless of their abilities.

For many children with disabilities, toys with buttons that light up, move, or play sounds can be difficult or impossible to use without assistance. Adapted toys—outfitted with special switches and features tailored to various abilities—give these children a chance to play independently. However, these customized toys are often expensive, making them out of reach for many families already facing other costs.

Upon discovering these challenges, the Elf-gineers—a team of mechanical and electrical engineers from GE Appliances—came together and transformed their air conditioning lab at the company’s Kentucky-based headquarters into a whimsical elf workshop, using their engineering expertise to reconfigure more than 100 toys to meet the unique needs of local kids.

“Our employees have the freedom to explore their passions at work and the “Elf-gineers” choice to use their skills to make a difference for kids in our community is just one way our culture comes to life,” said Rocki Rockingham, chief human resources officer at GE Appliances. “This initiative is a powerful example of how our core values of inclusion, innovation, and commitment to our community are lived daily. The same people designing and building innovative household appliances that simplify life are using their expertise and consumer-focused mindset to help create inclusive play experiences to make a difference for kids during the holiday season.”

The adapted toys are being distributed this month to several non-profits and schools in Louisville, including Jefferson County Public Schools, the Visually Impaired Preschool Services, and Kids Center for Pediatric Therapies.

This is the latest example of GE Appliances’ employees using their skills and passion to help others and join projects like the Access Kit, an inclusive tactile offering for blind and low vision appliance owners, and a collaboration with Mothers’ Milk Bank Northeast that revolutionized milk donation tracking and measurement.
