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.

IQM Radiance 54-qubit superconducting quantum computer

IQM Radiance quantum computer, powered by IQM’s 54-qubit quantum processing unit (QPU), will be installed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The quantum computer will be integrated into Leonardo, which is one of the world’s fastest supercomputers. This will mark a major technology and innovation milestone for Italy and the larger quantum ecosystem.

The installation will also be the first on-premises quantum computer at Cineca, which further consolidates the institution’s position as a centre of excellence for scientific computing internationally and strengthens Italy’s position in quantum computing.

IQM intends to support Cineca’s research initiatives and continue to provide scientists in Italy with the most advanced quantum computer platform and associated tools to tackle the most complex scientific challenges.

“The arrival of the new IQM Radiance 54 quantum computer represents a groundbreaking development for Cineca, further strengthening our role in managing cutting-edge technological infrastructures,” said Alessandra Poggiani, Director General of Cineca. “We are confident that our work in quantum computing can quickly translate into new opportunities, benefiting our consortium members and the entire ecosystem we serve.”

“We are thrilled to install one of our most powerful quantum computers at Cineca and contribute to the growth of the quantum ecosystem in Italy,” said Mikko Välimäki, Co-CEO at IQM Quantum Computers. “Our 54-qubit quantum computer provides a state-of-the-art platform for researchers and developers to start exploring novel quantum use cases, which cannot be emulated on any classical hardware.”
