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.

Monster High is one of the most successful and beloved kids’ properties of all time, featuring a world of fangtastic characters that embrace what makes them unique and rally people everywhere to be yourself, be unique and be a monster. Monster High’s Skulltimate Secrets line is currently ranked #4 in Fashion Doll & Accessories items in the US (YTD 2024) and was the #9 item in 2023.* Now, the haunted halls are opening their doors to popular gaming systems with Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets, a single-player, 3D platformer with chillingly captivating gameplay. Strange things are occurring on the grounds of Monster High, and it’s up to players to stop the chaos plaguing the halls of their school.

Players can become besties with Clawdeen Wolf™, Draculaura™, Frankie Stein™, and the rest of the Boo Crew to explore various locations, uncovering the fangtastic secrets of the Hidden Rooms along the way. Choose from six fangtastic monster types to craft a unique character, picking from a fabulous array of spooky hairstyles, haunt-couture clothing, and scareccessories for the ultimate Monster High experience.

“Monster High continues to resonate with kids and fans as a space to celebrate their true selves, and now we are introducing new characters and a spooktacular mystery to uncover for players on all major consoles and PC,” said Erika Winterholler, Head of Business Development, Digital Gaming at Mattel. “Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets lets players of all backgrounds imagine themselves as part of The Boo Crew and gives them the chance to express their personality in a quirky, playful way that embraces inclusion and creativity.”

“Monster High is an IP that truly encourages fans to express every part of themselves and think outside the box. We couldn’t be prouder to help build on its legacy and reintroduce the Boo Crew to a new generation of players,” said Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games. “As the latest Monster High video game to be released on all consoles and PC, Monster High: Skulltimate Secrets invites fans to explore faithful recreations of the school, experience a brand-new story, and design their own ghoulish character. Mattel has worked with us every step of the way, providing us the tools and support to create something that will be special for fans old and new.”

Monster High debuted in 2010 to create a more accepting world where everyone feels proud to be their authentic self and let their inner monster shine. The franchise follows a group of monster teens as they attend Monster High, learning to embrace their differences through strong friendships. Community, acceptance, and belonging are core tenets of this group. It’s not about one monster, but each one of them – coming together, supporting one another, and embracing their unique differences.

Since reimagining the brand in 2022, Monster High has made an even greater impact on issues that are core to the brand purpose of inclusion, diversity, and community through inspiring product, content and initiatives including the brand’s social mission, Monster High Project Belonging.
