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.

Zayo to Invest $90M to Strengthen Tennessee’s Digital Infrastructure and Economic Growth

Boosts Tennessee’s network backbone to fuel innovation, education, and economic expansion

Zayo, a leading communications infrastructure and managed services provider, announced a $90 million investment to expand and enhance fiber infrastructure across Tennessee. This investment will bolster key network routes, providing critical connectivity to major data centers and educational institutions and driving economic growth and innovation statewide.

The initiative includes advanced network infrastructure to power hyperscale and data center campuses, supporting the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and other high-bandwidth workloads in the region.

With Zayo Education (formerly Education Networks of America) headquartered in Nashville, this investment reinforces Zayo’s deep-rooted commitment to Tennessee. For almost 30 years, Zayo Education has delivered mission-critical connectivity across urban and rural communities and remains the state’s top E-Rate services provider.

Reliable, high-speed internet access is essential in today’s digital world, especially for the education sector. Zayo currently connects 94% of Tennessee school districts with managed internet and wide-area networking (WAN) services, ensuring K-12 students have secure access to digital learning, regardless of location. With this investment, Zayo is expanding its reach to underserved communities and reaffirming its dedication to bridging the digital divide in Tennessee.

“Zayo’s $90 million investment in Tennessee is a testament to our continued commitment to bridging the digital divide and powering the state’s future,” said Michael McKerley, Senior Vice President, Zayo Managed Services. “As the leading provider of managed network connectivity for Tennessee schools—serving 139 of the state’s 147 districts—we understand the critical need for reliable, high-speed internet. This investment will expand our network’s reach, strengthen connectivity for K-12 education, and support the infrastructure needed for Tennessee’s growing digital economy.”

This investment is the latest in a series of significant infrastructure expansions from Zayo. Earlier this month, the company announced plans to acquire Crown Castle’s fiber solutions business, and in January, it unveiled a project to add over 5,000 new fiber route miles to support growing AI workloads. Zayo’s continued efforts to expand and enhance connectivity reinforce its dedication to delivering mission-critical infrastructure in both urban and rural communities.
