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.

Interface Releases 2024 Design Trend Index

New Report Captures Evolving Trends and Growing Need for Customization Capabilities in Commercial Design

Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), the global flooring solutions company and leader in sustainability, today shares its 2024 Design Trend Index, which explores the latest trends pushing boundaries in commercial spaces.

“Good design is about more than just aesthetics,” says Kelly Simcox, Head of Global Design at Interface. “It is the connection between us and the built environment. As the workplace continues to evolve, as trends cycle faster, and as how we collaborate changes, our spaces must be designed to do more and mean more. At Interface, we strive to create innovative products that aren’t only beautiful, but deliver on form, function, and our customers’ sustainability objectives to meet the evolving needs of commercial interiors.”

In the Index, design experts at Interface highlight both time-tested and forward-looking trends found in today’s commercial spaces, including:

  • Enduring Essentials: Some design elements are timeless. Explore the looks that never go out of style.
  • Naturalism: Contrast on-trend brutalism and find your ‘zen’ with calming touches that nod to nature.
  • Versatile Spaces: Here design meets innovation. Test the limits of what commercial interiors can do.

The report features a first look at the company’s two new global collections that previewed at Clerkenwell Design Week and are formally launching this June during NeoCon and Fulton Market Design Days. Inspired by crafted textiles and natural forms, the collections are designed to help architects and designers create dynamic, high-performing, and beautiful spaces.

Customizing Commercial Design

The 2024 Design Trend Index also explores the increasing desire for customization in commercial spaces. To meet this growing trend, Interface offers its customers the ability to consult with the Interface Design Studio (IDS), which is a team of dedicated flooring design experts that provide support for everything from product selection to installation, all as a value-added service.

“Design, even in commercial settings, is personal,” says Simcox. “Our IDS team leverages technology and their deep design experience to customize product colors and patterns and develop unique, space-specific floor designs for our customers. We know every project has different priorities, and in using IDS, both designers and end-users can rely on our team’s flooring expertise to facilitate their project’s flooring goals across aesthetics, performance, and sustainability, so they can focus on other areas that need their attention.”
