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.

Sallie Mae Contributes $100,000 to Point Foundation to Support College Scholarships

Grant From The Sallie Mae Fund Will Help LGBTQ Students Access Higher Education

The Sallie Mae Fund today announced a $100,000 grant to Point Foundation, the nation’s largest scholarship-granting organization for LGBTQ students. The grant will specifically fund scholarships for LGBTQ students to attend community college and also supports Point Foundation’s mentorship, leadership, and professional development programs for students.

Research confirms LGBTQ students face unique challenges in accessing and completing higher education. They are more likely to experience financial difficulties, unfair treatment, and mental health struggles that can impact academic success.

“Our partnership with The Sallie Mae Fund will be instrumental in helping LGBTQ community college students both access and succeed in higher education,” said Jorge Valencia, Executive Director and CEO, Point Foundation. “Supporting community college students is more important than ever, as more students turn to community colleges in pursuit of skills that will help them build a better future.”

The Point Foundation Community College Scholarship gives LGBTQ students financial aid and leadership development programming. Community College Scholars are connected to other LGBTQ students and leaders around the country, creating a network of support. The scholarship has more than tripled since its initial class of 25 in 2017.

The following students have been selected to receive a Point Foundation Community College Scholarship supported by The Sallie Mae Fund:

  • Aleya McDonald of El Cajon, Ca., attending Grossmont College
  • Amelia Glaz of Rocklin, Ca., attending Sierra College
  • Andres Acebo of Sacramento, Ca., attending Cosumnes River College
  • Avery Whitman of Bangor, Maine, attending Eastern Maine Community College
  • Dahlia Hanson of Portland, Ore., attending Portland Community College
  • Elliot Polevoi of Astoria, Ore., attending Clatsop Community College
  • Gabriel Trousset of Oceanside, Ca., attending MiraCosta College
  • Jacoby Spicer of Rochester, N.Y., attending Monroe Community College
  • Laney Eddington of El Cajon, Ca., attending Cuyamaca College
  • Laurah Hester of Springfield, Ohio., attending Clark State College

“As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, this contribution is personal for me and aligns to our mission to power confidence as students navigate their unique journeys,” said Kathy Edwards, Chief Diversity Officer, Sallie Mae. “That unique journey is especially true for LGBTQ+ students who often face significant obstacles in accessing and completing college. I couldn’t think of a better way to recognize and celebrate Pride Month but even more so, I’m especially grateful that the impact and reach of this contribution will be felt for years to come.”

Since 2020, The Sallie Mae Fund has contributed $350,000 to the Point Foundation. For more information about Sallie Mae’s efforts in the community, visit SallieMae.com.
