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.

New Megatrends author Marian Salzman predicts 2025 will see us burrowing in, curbing tech, and pursuing delight

By: via Business Wire
  • Salzman—who’s been #trending for 30 years—sees 2025 as the year we all “balance, blend, and burrow in,” taking every opportunity to slow down and decompress
  • 30th annual cultural forecast includes climate-conscious house hunts, “leaning out,” and an intensified race to preserve cultural uniqueness

Creator of the world’s first online focus groups (via AOL dial-up modems in the 1990s), bestselling author Marian Salzman has been #trending for 30 years with predictions encompassing everything from sleep as the new sex to metrosexuality, “brand me,” and the rise of singletons.

Salzman, who serves as senior vice president for strategic projects at Philip Morris International U.S., released her 30th annual trends report https://mariansalzman.com/trends-report today. It highlights key forces shaping our near future—from generative AI as the next medium expanding human creativity to pushback against globalization and the tech arms race. Across decades, Salzman’s predictions have helped companies and brands stay ahead of emerging cultural shifts, capitalize on market gaps, and lead on the “next big thing” in culture, politics, business, and media.

“Looking back over 30 years of trends has reminded me of their cyclical nature,” said Salzman. “Elements once considered outdated have made a comeback, typically in slightly different form. Yesterday’s clean eating is today’s Yuka obsession. And while sleep may still be the new sex, it’s now less about self-care and more about defying outmoded ideas of success, as exemplified by ‘cozy entrepreneurship.’ People aren’t just complaining about things they don’t like anymore; they’re changing them.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Salzman’s cultural forecast is all about self-preservation and -actualization. “In a world of tumult and instability, we’re burrowing in at home as a safeguard against chaos and external threats,” Salzman explained. “And while we appreciate most things tech, we’ve traded in FOMO for self-imposed rest, recovery, and reflection. Equilibrium is the modern-day holy grail.”

Standout trends from the 2025 report include:

  • Burrowing in: Political instability and climate insecurity are making risk-reduced homes—at whatever price point—the ultimate luxury acquisition.
  • DON’T do the hustle: It’s not anti-disco, but anti-burnout and -24/7 work pressure. Elements of the slow life we crave include walking tourism, tea flights, and retro brands.
  • No-go viral: Celebrities (actual and would-be) are taking cues from Taylor and rejecting flash-in-the-pan fame in favor of “forever fandom.”
  • Nauseated by our sea of sameness: From antler carving in North America to Brazil’s Indigenous Bororo language, we’re rushing to preserve the myriad elements of global culture on the endangered list.
  • Lifecare: Thanks to advances in AI wearables and the democratization of medical tech and testing, patients are wresting control of their healthcare away from the pros.
  • Pursuing moments of delight: Joy remains an aspiration, but now we’re chasing something more attainable and immediate: tiny pinpricks of delight that can cut—however briefly—through the angst blanketing much of the planet.

“As we move into 2025, more of us will recognize that culture, technology, and personal well-being are tightly intertwined,” Salzman said. “Our need for rest, recovery, reflection, and human connection has never been more urgent.”
