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.

NSTA and National Teacher Organizations Release Joint Position Statement on Data Science

Data Science Should be Taught Across the Curriculum in K-12 Schools to Help Develop a Data-Literate Citizenry, New Position Statement Recommends

The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), in collaboration with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and the American Statistical Association (ASA), released a joint position statement today calling for data science to be introduced and taught across the curriculum in K–12 schools to help all learners develop data literacy, knowledge, and skills.

“In today’s technological era, the ability to understand, evaluate, and use data is imperative,” said NSTA Chief Executive Officer Erika Shugart, Ph.D. “Whether it’s constructing a graph that reveals change over time or using statistics to determine if a difference is actually relevant, data literacy empowers students to think critically and communicate effectively about the information they encounter.”

The statement includes four declarations or guiding principles, developed to build further understanding and support for the teaching and learning of data science across subjects. The declarations include:

  • Data science is contextual and interdisciplinary. Across disciplines, data science offers a common approach: framing the problem, generating questions, planning solutions, collecting data, analysis, visualization, and communication.
  • Data science is an investigative process. Asking a compelling question that necessitates data to answer it is at the heart of data science.
  • Data science understandings and experiences are for everyone. Experiences with making sense of data should start in elementary school and progress as what students understand about the world becomes more complex.
  • Data science educators must develop and practice ethical uses of data. In preparation for engaging data towards civically responsible ends, students must learn to question the sources of data, such as individuals, devices, or systems that generate or contribute to its creation and track the various transformations and processes applied to data, such as cleaning, aggregation, or analysis.

The statement was jointly developed through a consensus-building approach by a team of educators, scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, and other education experts from NSTA, NCTM, NCSS, CSTA and ASA, and adopted by each organization’s Board of Directors.

To represent the concerns and interests of our diverse body of members and the greater science teaching community, NSTA requires a voice that is identifiable, influential, and informed. This aim is achieved in part through taking positions on matters related to science, STEM, and education. Position statements provide a platform for NSTA to inform stakeholders of the science educator perspective. This statement serves as a guiding document, helping to raise the profile of the science teaching profession, promoting respect, and ensuring investment that supports equitable, high-quality science education. Visit NSTA to view all position statements.
