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.

A3 Expands Event Lineup with FOCUS: Intelligent Vision & Industrial AI Conference

New event to explore real-world vision & AI applications transforming manufacturing, aerospace, agriculture, defense, energy, logistics and medical devices

The Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the leading voice in automation and robotics, today announced the launch of a new industry event, FOCUS: Intelligent Vision & Industrial AI Conference. Set to take place September 24-25, 2025, in Seattle, this conference will provide an in-depth look at the latest advancements in machine vision, imaging technologies, AI, and smart automation applications. Attendees will explore cutting-edge innovations in vision systems and imaging while also diving into real-world case studies on AI-driven automation across industries, including manufacturing, aerospace, agriculture, defense, energy, logistics and medical devices.

With AI-powered automation and vision systems rapidly improving quality control, predictive maintenance, and robotics capabilities, industrial leaders need actionable insights to stay ahead of the curve. Unlike broader industry conferences, the FOCUS: Intelligent Vision & Industrial AI conference will center specifically on the real-world applications of AI and vision technology, featuring expert-led sessions, in-depth case studies, and hands-on technology showcases.

“Machine vision and AI are no longer just futuristic concepts—they are actively transforming the way industries operate today,” said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. “Our FOCUS: Intelligent Vision & Industrial AI conference is designed to provide professionals with the knowledge, tools, and connections they need to harness these technologies for real-world impact.”
