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.

10th annual Switch on Summer celebration marks unofficial start to season with return of retired WGN-TV Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling

ComEd, in collaboration with the Chicago Park District is thrilled to announce the return of the Switch on Summer celebration for its tenth consecutive year. The public is invited to Chicago’s Grant Park to witness the switching on of Buckingham Fountain to mark the unofficial start of the summer season, alongside WGN-TV’s beloved retired Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling who returns as master of ceremonies.

The free event, which takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, will feature a preview of the 12th anniversary of the Park District’s popular Night Out in the Parks summer event series lineup, and access to ComEd support resources including bill assistance, energy management programs, home energy saving tips, and more.

Residents from within ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory are invited to enter a sweepstakes for the chance to be selected to switch on Buckingham Fountain at the event. All entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on April 30, 2024.

"Even in retirement, I look forward to joining Chicago residents, families, and visitors at the fountain on May 11 to celebrate the start of summer, enjoy educational programming and outdoor cultural performances," said Tom Skilling, former Chief Meteorologist, WGN-TV. “It is a joy to continue sharing this event with local residents and visitors.”

"ComEd is proud to join the City of Chicago and members of the public to Switch on Summer — and to provide our guests with valuable information to manage their energy and reduce their bills,” said Gil Quiniones, ComEd President and CEO. “Buckingham Fountain is an iconic attraction for residents and visitors around the world, and we’re hoping a big crowd will help us flip the switch for summer in Chicago."

Buckingham Fountain, a major tourist attraction, welcomes millions of visitors a year and serves as the backdrop for many of Chicago’s summertime events and activities along the lakefront.

"The iconic fountain is one of Chicago’s most beloved historic attractions and architectural gems that brings great joy and amazement to city residents and visitors, year after year,” said Rosa Escareño, General Superintendent and CEO of the Chicago Park District. “The Chicago Park District invites everyone to come and countdown with us as we turn on the fountain for its 97th season during the fun and free Switch on Summer event."

Summer in Chicago is a fun season with Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks, the free event series accessible to all ages and abilities.
