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.

MACH Alliance Announces Speaker Lineup, New Events for The Composable Conference 2025

The fourth annual global event will feature keynotes and hands-on workshops with representatives from top industry brands

The MACH Alliance today announced additional details supporting The Composable Conference 2025, taking place April 22 – 24 at Convene Willis Tower, Chicago. The three-day event will feature keynotes and collaborative sessions with industry leaders and technology practitioners to help attendees formulate their composable game plan. Registration is now open for the limited-space event, with the Alliance offering a $500 travel rebate to eligible delegates.

The current list of speakers for The Composable Conference 2025 includes representatives from Parkland, Zoro, VF Corporation, Wynn Resorts, Prada Group, Wegmans, DXL, Bissell, Firehouse Subs, Diageo, and Altitude Sports, with additional speakers and brands to be announced in the coming weeks.

“The Composable Conference is the one annual opportunity for business and technology leaders to come together and share the trials and tribulations that enable digital transformations,” said Bob Howland, event co-host and chairperson of the MACH Alliance. “The connections and community fostered enable attendees to overlay the unique principles of MACH onto their own composable strategy, building an executable playbook alongside peers and pioneers.”

The Alliance’s fourth annual conference will actively involve attendees at each stage of the composable journey. A MACH approach ensures agility, scalability, and vendor independence in an increasingly AI-driven world. The three-track format features hands-on workshops and insightful speaker sessions with experts who have successfully implemented MACH. Armed with the proper foundations, attendees can freely graduate to the next track during their time at the conference to dive further into the path to composable.

Other notable events at The Composable Conference include:

  • An enhanced event format for 2025 — with most of the program dedicated to interactive workshops and roundtable sessions. These sessions will be led by top global brands, sharing their firsthand composable insights and expertise, giving delegates the opportunity for hands-on learning and meaningful discussions.
  • “rideMACH Live” will bring the Alliance’s online learning platform into a live classroom setting, offering several sessions for delegates to enhance their MACH mindset and technology skills.
  • The 2025 MACH Impact Awards Ceremony will honor the year’s impactful global technology projects. A new “Best Platform Transformation” category acknowledges the reality that the path to composable is varied and recognizes incremental progress toward composability.
  • “People in MACH: Unlocking Composable Business Value Through Culture & Inclusion” will allow delegates to explore the tangible impact of DEI, allyship, and ethical technology on growth, profitability, and competitive advantage in composable enterprises.
  • The unveiling of the MACH Alliance’s new Community Platform, created for both end-user individuals and MACH-certified members to network, share content, and discuss ideas both at the event and long after the conference concludes.

“The Composable Conference is where bold ideas meet practical execution,” said Danielle Diliberti, event co-host and CEO of Sommsation. “As businesses build for the future and reimagine customer experiences, this event creates space for honest conversations about the challenges, breakthroughs, and strategies shaping the future of composable approaches and MACH.”

The Composable Conference by the MACH Alliance is made possible by our headline partners: Accenture Song, Builder.io, Commercetools, Contentstack, Publicis Sapient, and Vercel.
