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 Sallie Mae Fund Grants $75,000 to DC College Access Program to Support Higher Education Access and Completion

Contribution Part of DC-CAP’s College Signing Day Event on Tuesday, April 30, Celebrating Area Students’ Commitment to Higher Education

Scholly by Sallie Founder Chris Gray Will Speak to Students and Connect Them To Free Scholarship Resource to Help Make College More Affordable

The Sallie Mae Fund today announced a $75,000 grant to the DC College Access Program (DC-CAP) to help increase higher education access and completion among students in the District. The contribution will also support DC-CAP’s 2050 Moonshot Goal of an 80% city-wide six-year college graduation rate.

The Sallie Mae Fund grant comes ahead of DC-CAP’s College Signing Day event scheduled for Tuesday, April 30 from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at Capital One Arena. More than 5,000 high school seniors from the District and the wider DMV area are expected to attend the event to honor their dedication, achievements, and future aspirations as they commit to their post-secondary education journeys at four-year universities, two-year colleges, community colleges, certificate programs, military service, or career training programs.

“Access to higher education can be life-changing, particularly for first-generation students and those from underserved communities, but just as important is ensuring students complete their education,” said Nic Jafarieh, executive vice president, Sallie Mae and Chair of The Sallie Mae Fund. “Supporting college completion is integral to our mission and our strategic contribution to DC-CAP will undoubtedly further those efforts.”

“Contributions from partners like The Sallie Mae Fund and events like College Signing Day go a long way in supporting higher education access and completion for students in the District,” said DC-CAP President and CEO, Eric Waldo. “We’re looking forward to celebrating our students and helping them confidently navigate that next step in their educational journey.”

As part of College Signing Day, The Sallie Mae Fund will also connect students to Scholly by Sallie, a top scholarship search app that has provided access to more than $100M in scholarships. Chris Gray, the founder of Scholly by Sallie will speak to students about the wide range of scholarships available which extend beyond athletics and academics.

"There's a scholarship out there for every passion, but the real trick lies in uncovering them, applying ahead of the curve, and doing so persistently,” said Gray, who secured $1.3 million in scholarships on his way to Drexel University and gained widespread recognition after striking a deal for Scholly on ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’. “This mission inspired me to develop Scholly—my aim was to streamline the scholarship hunt, and make it more accessible. Now, with Scholly a part of the Sallie Mae family, it's not just free, but also connecting even more students to scholarships for college.”
