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.

Steel Sports Demonstrates Significant Growth in Athletes’ Achievement and Personal Development in 2023 Impact Survey

Steel Sports, a social impact organization that inspires youth across America to reach their full potential through sports education and programming, released a report today demonstrating the efficacy of their proprietary Steel Sports Coaching System: The Lasorda Way.

The innovative Steel Sports Coaching System provides high-quality instruction that prioritizes character growth and athletic development. Steel Coaches focus on four Core Values that research shows have reached high awareness among players and their caregivers. These values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, and Commitment can prime athletes for college, careers, and long-term success.

  • Steel Sports saw a 100% graduation rate for high school senior athletes in the 2022-2023 school year, with 89% continuing on to college, and 52% playing a college sport when enrolled.
  • 96% of Steel athletes evaluated their understanding and exemplifying the Core Values as “Good” or “Excellent,” and 100% of parents say their kids are exemplifying the Core Values off the field.
  • Steel athletes showed a significant increase in positivity, grit, and growth mindset characteristics compared to the national average. In the report, over 80% of Steel athletes demonstrated appropriate and positive reactions to failures, an enjoyment of challenges, pride in completing difficult tasks, and a focus on effort over outcomes.

To measure the success of their method, Steel Sports looked at over 5,000 player evaluations, coach evaluations, team surveys, focus groups, and parent feedback forums. The organization compared their results to national studies on measures such as positive, mental health characteristics, high school graduation rates, resilience and growth mindset, and prevalence of college-level athletes among graduates.

Warren Lichtenstein, the Executive Chairman of Steel Partners, said, “Tommy Lasorda, our inspiration for creating this program, understood that sports are a fantastic vehicle for building the kind of character and growth that we want to see in the young people we serve. This impact report only highlights how right he was, and we’re thrilled that we can see his legacy in action through the thousands of kids that experience our programs. As he always said, ‘You Gotta Believe,’ and it’s coming true.”

The data indicates that when athletes are drilled in and evaluated on confidence, self-control, positivity, leadership, humility, concentration, openness to constructive criticism, and other positive characteristics, they develop a stronger sense of their core self. In addition to better athletic performance, they experience resilience and growth as young men and women.
