About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

“I’m a no-nonsense football guy who needs everything around me to be easy so I can just focus on the game—especially when it’s for the championship,” said Andy Reid. “These Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins have made my routine quicker and easier. No one wants to go into overtime just because of their shoes, and best of all they give me time to focus on my second career that you’ll see in my first commercial for Skechers!”

“Our belief in Coach Reid and his ability to lead champions resonated with us as Skechers dives deeper into the performance world with innovative products for soccer, basketball and more,” added Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “This is the perfect venue to present our campaign as he’s coaching with the chance for an unprecedented third straight win. With more than three decades of Skechers, the third-largest footwear brand in the world, maybe a three-peat for the coach is in the cards. Andy also proves that there’s endless unexpected possibilities when you go hands-free with the signature comfort and convenience of Skechers Slip-ins!”

Appearing for the 12th year in 2025, Skechers has been a perennial advertiser during the Big Game. The brand’s first appearance starred Joe Montana in 2010, and last year it featured Mr. T and Tony Romo. Other notable past Skechers Big Game commercial highlights include Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, Mark Cuban with a French bulldog named Mr. Quiggly, as well as Willie Nelson singing “On the Road Again.”

Skechers offers its complete range of footwear, including Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins, at Skechers retail stores and skechers.com, as well as at department stores and footwear retailers around the globe.
