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.

AM Best Opens Public Voting for 2025 Student Challenge Competition

Public voting is now open for AM Best’s 2025 Student Challenge, which gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to develop innovative solutions for risk management and insurance.

Members of the public are invited to vote for their favorite idea from among three finalists:

  • A dynamic inventory management app for homeowners from Tausif Utchhash and Connor Donahue of the University of Akron. The proposed app would offer real-time assessments of personal property values and replacement costs to help homeowners maintain accurate inventories and coverage limits, while also providing claim submission.
  • An insurance education tool for new and small businesses from Tom Budz of Florida State University. This idea would help small business owners understand their insurability before operations have begun.
  • A tropical storm parametric microinsurance solution for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from Hernán Burgos and Alexander Porte of UW-Madison – Wisconsin School of Business. This idea would provide coverage to low-income individuals and micro enterprises in LAC coastal regions using real-time meteorological data.

View the students’ presentations and vote on them from March 18 to April 4, 2025. The winner will be announced in Best’s Review on June 1, 2025.

“The students who participated in AM Best’s 2025 Student Challenge impressed us with their thoughtful risk management and insurance solutions that, if implemented, could have a positive impact,” said Lee McDonald, AM Best’s senior vice president, publication & news services. “We appreciate their insight and innovation, which gives us optimism about the future of the insurance industry.”
