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 verdict is in: In e.l.f. we trust. Culture-shaper and bold-disruptor e.l.f. Cosmetics is heading to court on Sunday, February 11, 2024, kicking off its most entertaining moment yet with its TV spot, "Judge Beauty."

The Big Game is one of the biggest moments that brings together global audiences each year and e.l.f. will be there with its community, reflecting its mission to serve every eye, lip and face. Last year, nearly half of the viewers were women*, and in e.l.f.'s spirit of inclusivity, it’s returning to the Big Game with an inclusive star-studded team.

e.l.f. provides the ultimate verdict: We object to overpriced makeup.

To create this world of lustrous justice, e.l.f. mashed up some of entertainment’s most bingeable franchises, storylines, and creators to make the case that beauty belongs in every e.l.f.ing touchpoint of entertainment.

Here are the eyes.lips.facts: Culture and community are what drive us down the field every time. What e.l.f. illuminates at the Big Game is what our community cares most about, serving value with values,” says Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer, e.l.f. Beauty. “We’re leaning into the true diversity of the Big Game and carving a path that proves beauty not only belongs there, but everywhere. Our community trusts us to put them at the center of the conversation, and this campaign is going to do just that.”

Set in e.l.f. Court, the highest court in the land for crimes committed against the eyes, lips and face, the spot features an iconic and inclusive cast of cultural figures, including judicial icon and Amazon Freevee’s “Judy Justice” star Judge Judy Sheindlin as Judge Beauty. Ruling in favor of affordable and cruelty-free cosmetics, Judge Beauty sets a precedent for the world to use Halo Glow Liquid Filter in the name of value and good judgment.

“Doing a Big Game commercial has been on my bucket list for ages,” says Judge Judy Sheindlin, who is making her commercial and Big Game Debut with e.l.f. Cosmetics. “The trick was finding the right brand partner. So when I tried the products and liked them, it was the perfect fit! It’s just foolishness to spend a fortune on makeup when e.l.f. does the job so exquisitely."

The case’s two spirited litigants are played by renowned “Suits” actors Rick Hoffman, and Gina Torres, while their fellow co-star Sarah Rafferty sits pretty beside Judge Beauty as the court stenographer. Broadcasting live from inside the courtroom, GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and recurring brand collaborator, Meghan Trainor, plays the role of dutiful (and slightly hysterical) court TV correspondent, reprising her status as part of the e.l.f. community. She shares the jury box with a motley mix of beauty personalities, cultural icons, and courtroom figures, including “Jury Duty’s” Ronald Gladden; America’s favorite drag queen from RuPauls Drag Race, Heidi N Closet, actor, writer, producer, and comedian Benito Skinner; and law clerk from “Judy Justice,” Sarah Rose. Standing beside Judge Beauty as her trusty bailiff is Bestselling Author, former NFL linebacker, and EMMY-winning television host Emmanuel Acho.

The spot’s product star is e.l.f.’s Halo Glow Liquid Filter, the $14 glowy complexion booster and viral fan favorite. This radiant makeup-meets-skincare hybrid has quickly become one of the brand's holiest grails to date with one unit sold every four seconds,** making it e.l.f.’s

best-selling product of 2023.***

The commercial was directed by beloved comedic actor, writer and director, Zach Woods, best known for his roles on HBO's ‘Silicon Valley’ and NBC’s sitcom sensation “The Office.” The spot was creatively conceptualized, cast, and scripted by SHADOW, e.l.f. Beauty's long-term creative marketing and communications agency. The production was led by Imposter, and the paid media strategy and planning was prepared by performance marketing firm Tinuiti, e.l.f. Beauty's digital agency of record.

“The creative premise behind ‘Judge Beauty’ was inspired by a basic brand truth: e.l.f. would never judge a person’s beauty, but it does object—and loudly—to obsolete industry norms, like the idea you have to spend a fortune for great quality,” shared Brian Vaughan, Executive Creative Director and Partner, SHADOW. “We brought that simple but sincere kernel to life through an unconventional casting approach, a script dripping in satire, and, as always, the community-driven product insights that consistently anchor our work with e.l.f.”

e.l.f. will continue to serve eyes.lips.facts. following the Big Game, rolling out an extended version across streaming and digital channels. The televised spots are just one piece of a surround sound campaign that will include a steady stream of social content releases from all your favorite Judge Beauty characters as e.l.f. continues to rewrite the book on entertainment.

This is e.l.f.’s second commercial at the Big Game. Power Grip Primer starred in the brand’s eyes.lips.face.sticky. spot at the 2023 Big Game on its way to becoming the No.1 SKU in mass cosmetics.****

The e.l.f. community can join the “Judge Beauty'' fun by shopping limited-edition merchandise on elfcosmetics.com, which will include IN E.L.F. WE TRUST Sweatshirt ($30), IN E.L.F. WE TRUST Baby Tee ($18), Gloss, Glow & Go Bundle (Halo Glow Liquid Filter, Lash XTNDR Mascara, Glow Reviver Lip Oil, Suntouchable All Set for Sun SPF 45, Power Grip Primer) ($53), and EYES.LIPS.FACTS.
