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.

e.l.f. Beauty announces momentum in its Change the Board Game initiative with an expanding coalition of partners and new data to support boardroom inclusivity as a business driver.

Change the Board Game has brought together like-minded change champions who celebrate both inclusivity and performance. More than 70 individual leaders and 20 organizations have joined the Change the Board Game coalition, all committed to creating more accessible boardrooms and working as a collective to advance representation of qualified Board members and candidates through strategic initiatives, board readiness and placement partnerships, and advocacy efforts.

Change the Board Game is rooted in e.l.f. Beauty’s belief that its inclusive Board of Directors has aided its performance, including its 26 consecutive quarters of net-sales growth and market-share gains. e.l.f. Beauty Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin recognized the opportunity to make the case for greater representation of qualified candidates in boardrooms everywhere.

e.l.f. Beauty is one of only five publicly traded companies among approximately 4,000 in the U.S. with a Board of Directors comprising 67% women and 44% diverse members.1 This represents a notable difference from broader corporate America, where women hold 28% of public company board seats and 74% of public company directors are white.2

“e.l.f. Beauty is built on positivity, inclusivity and accessibility and those values guide how we lead. We believe that when diverse voices come to the table, especially voices that reflect the communities we serve, everyone wins,” said Amin. “We’re proud of the diversity on our Board, and we don't want e.l.f. Beauty to be one of only five public companies at this level."

The coalition includes leaders, companies and non-profits committed to championing inclusive Boards of Directors. Partners include Pink Chip, Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), Black Corporate Board Readiness (BCBR), 50/50 Women on Boards and Gaingels, which is among the largest global investors dedicated to showing the world that equity of access and representation in venture capital delivers positive returns, as well as many others.

“We launched Pink Chip to spotlight the strength of women-led companies,” said Sam Rowlands, Founder and CEO, Pink Chip. “With Pink Chip we are on a mission to unlock women’s economic power through data-driven financial products. Joining the Change the Board Game Coalition is a proud moment for us as it’s an extension of our mission to shape a financial system where inclusion drives proven performance.”

“Collective action is essential to build better boards in service to shareholders, stakeholders, and society,” said Thane Kreiner, PhD, Co-Founder, BCBR. “Now more than ever, we need excellence through authentically inclusive governance.”

Research conducted by North Carolina A&T State University (N.C. A&T), the nation's largest historically Black university, found additional correlations between gender diversity on U.S. publicly traded Boards of Directors and stronger Return on Equity (RoE). N.C. A&T found that every year between 2018 and 2024, U.S.-headquartered companies publicly listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ with above-average gender diversity on their boards achieved higher average RoE than those with below-average gender diversity, with the average annual outperformance being approximately 256%.3

The average gender diversity of Boards of Directors from 2018 to 2024 for all public companies headquartered in the U.S. and traded on NYSE and NASDAQ was 24.59%.3

“We've seen firsthand the power of inclusivity in our own boardroom. In building an allyship with other companies, nonprofits and universities that share this belief, we can, together, Change the Board Game,” Amin said.

e.l.f. Beauty invites companies, corporate Board members and organizations to further democratize access to the highest seats of power and join Change the Board Game coalition. To sign up and view resources, go to: ChangetheBoardGame.com.
