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.

“Since our founding nearly 100 years ago, we have been deeply rooted in the communities we serve, working across our family of companies to support our neighbors," said Blackie Wills, President and CEO of Wills Group. “This year's report highlights what happens when we work together with nonprofit leaders and the communities they serve to deploy resources that can create new pathways for impact. We are excited about our collaborative approach to creating meaningful, lasting change."

Across the Mid-Atlantic region, Dash In and Splash In operate over 55 locations, playing a vital role in addressing local challenges. The 2024 impact report, released today, showcases how Wills Group and its retail brands collaborate with nonprofit and community partners, combining flexible resources with local expertise. In service of strengthening connections with local nonprofit partners, Wills Group convened its first community engagement roundtable in 2024 at its headquarters in La Plata, Maryland. The gathering united key Mid-Atlantic community leaders, including representatives from LifeStyles of Maryland, Maryland Food Bank, Melwood, Oasis Fresh Foods Market, and Warp & Weft.

“Wills Group and its companies have been instrumental collaborators, helping to connect us to resources and organizations where there are intersections in our work and missions,” said Scott Gibson, Chief Operating Officer at Melwood. “For instance, we were recently presented with an opportunity to launch a social enterprise in the foodservice area. It's something Melwood has never done before, and I was able to call on Wills Group and their expertise to help us strategize an approach. They've become true partners in our thinking.”

Additional highlights from the 2024 Community Engagement Report include:

  • 370 employee volunteer hours
  • 49 nonprofit organizations supported
  • $900,000 donated to food banks and local pantries
