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.

Yale and Master Lock Unveil Latest Professional Products at ISC West 2025

The Brands Double Down on Commitment to Serve More Professional Installers with Industry-Leading Security Solutions

Today at ISC West, trusted security brands Yale and Master Lock announced their newest lines of smart locks for businesses and multi-family facilities. Part of Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands”), Yale and Master Lock are expanding their professional portfolios to offer a new level of security and convenience for multi-family properties, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, small and medium businesses, and more.

“By launching these new product lines under Yale and Master Lock, we are poised to serve a greater share of the professional market,” said Dave Barry, President of Security & Connected Products at Fortune Brands. “Yale is continuing its legacy of providing flexible solutions for multi-family environments, simplifying access decisions for our partners and operators. Master Lock is delivering solutions to secure access for essential places like schools, healthcare facilities, small and medium businesses, and more.”

Yale’s new multi-family product line will serve partners and operators with innovative, flexible, and scalable access control solutions. Designed to enhance security at every entrance, the Yale Pro® 2 Interconnected Lock, Yale Pro® 2 Mortise Lock, and Yale Pro® 2 Cylindrical Lock include key features such as:

  • Flexible Connectivity: With Yale’s range of technology offerings, multi-family properties can choose between:
    • Z-Wave (800 series) module offering long range support and SmartStart
    • Zigbee module offering app compatibility with top smart home partners
    • Wi-Fi module offering remote access and easy app management
  • Single Action Egress: Meeting all code requirements, multi-family apartment doors can be unlocked in one motion, all with top ANSI/BHMA grading and 90- to 190-minute fire ratings (fire ratings vary by model).
  • Tamper-Proof: Each product is available as a key-free model to provide convenient, keyless access for residence doors—so they can’t be picked, there are no keys to lose, and installers save money by no longer having to address tenant lockouts or rekey apartments after residents move out.
  • Award Winning Design: Modeled after Yale’s award-winning residential product line, Yale Assure Lock® 2, the new multi-family product line features seamless pairing for apartment buildings, no matter what lock style is chosen for apartment or common area doors.

Master Lock is also unveiling a new line of locks designed for commercial applications. The Master Lock Electronic and Connected Mortise Locks and the Master Lock Electronic and Connected Cylindrical Locks offer more advanced access management and tracking, providing commercial owners the confidence that their properties are protected. The introduction of these new products will expand Master Lock’s renowned brand applications to include schools, healthcare facilities, small and medium businesses, and more. Key features include:

  • Flexible Connectivity: With different technology offerings, installers can choose the right technology for their customers, including:
    • Z-Wave (800 series) module offering long range support and SmartStart
    • Zigbee module offering app compatibility with top smart home partners
    • Non-connected (no module) offering keypad access only
  • Convenient, Key-Free Access: Control access to common areas, exterior doors, residence doors, and stairwells to enhance facility security with access control at every opening.
  • Options for Every Door: Product options are available for standard cylindrical or mortise door prep, and offer top ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and a 180-minute fire rating.

These products will be available for customers to order later this year.
