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.

Westlake Royal Building Products (“Westlake Royal”), a Westlake company (NYSE: WLK), has announced the expansion of Grove Collection, a line of architectural PVC trim and mouldings, to include column wraps with caps and bases, a nickel gap profile and flat trim.

Grove Collection combines the timeless charm and rich look of stained wood with the performance benefits of cellular PVC, making it perfect for enhancing outdoor living spaces, porch ceilings and soffits.

  • Column Wraps: Available in 6”x6” and 8”x8” sizes in 10’ lengths, these wraps easily slip over existing columns, delivering instant curb appeal and a sleek, modern upgrade to porches and exteriors.
  • Nickel Gap Profile: Grove Collection will offer a 6” nickel gap profile for clean, contemporary lines on walls and ceilings.
  • Flat Trim: Offered in versatile ⅝”x4”, 1”x8”, and 1”x12” sizes, Grove Collection flat trim is ideal for various applications.
  • Color Matched Cortex® Hidden Fastening System: 2” Screws, Collated Plugs & Setting Tool.

“Grove Collection is popular with trade professionals and homeowners alike for its innovative, easy-to-install design and striking visual impact,” said Steve Booz, vice president of marketing at Westlake Royal Building Products. “By broadening our collection, we’re expanding the aesthetic possibilities of outdoor living spaces, offering complete design freedom without sacrificing any elements of exterior performance.”

Grove Collection is available in six on-trend colors, including American Walnut, Oak Ridge, Natural Cedar, Smoke Grey, Weathered Oak and Charred Timber. Its robust design is low-maintenance, long-lasting, moisture- and insect-proof, and it is easy to install due to its hidden nailing hems. In addition to the new line extension, Grove Collection offers 6” V-groove plank, 6” beadboard, crown and bed mould.

Adding to this momentum, Grove Collection has been named a finalist for the 2025 Best of IBS™ Awards in the “Most Innovative Building Material Product” category.
