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.

Wrangler® X HBO® Original ‘The Last of Us’: A Collaboration Built to Endure

A Two-Part Drop Inspired by Survival, Resilience, and the American Spirit

Iconic denim brand Wrangler® is collaborating with Sony Pictures Consumer Products for an epic collaboration around the new season of hit HBO® series The Last of Us that blends rugged Americana style with the enduring spirit of the show, which is based on the acclaimed video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation® consoles. Inspired by the journey of Joel, Ellie, and the resilient survivors of The Last of Us, this highly anticipated, all-gender collection will launch in two drops, delivering durable, story-driven pieces.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250410492527/en/

The new Wrangler X The Last of Us apparel collection

The new Wrangler X The Last of Us apparel collection

The first drop, launching April 10, is a tribute to Jackson, Wyoming—the safe haven where Joel and Ellie found a brief reprieve from their harrowing journey in Season 1, and where Season 2 begins. These looks celebrate classic cowboy style with three pre-distressed denim pieces that embody the strength and authenticity of Wrangler’s heritage. The collection includes a cowboy cut denim jacket, a rugged, true-to-tradition silhouette built to withstand the elements; a cowboy cut denim shirt, a nod to the American West that blends function and timeless style; and the original 13MWZ Cowboy Cut Denim Jean, the legendary jean fit for cowboys, adventurers and The Last of Us fans worldwide.

The adventure continues with the second drop on May 1. Arriving mid-season, when the show’s setting shifts toward post-apocalyptic Seattle, Washington, the last six pieces of the line reflect the natural elements of the Pacific Northwest. These new additions include utility-inspired apparel designed for both function and style. Among them are a “Cordyceps” camouflage set — a two-piece statement featuring a fashion-forward camo shirt and matching utility pant — and a tinted denim carpenter pant, built for durability, versatility, and life on the move. Rounding out the collection are pocket-tees in three colorways, essential layering pieces that capture the essence of rugged street style.

This collaboration is a natural fit for both brands, as Joel sported Wrangler pieces throughout Season 1. Wrangler’s legacy of crafting durable, high-quality denim makes it the perfect partner to bring The Last of Us’ gritty, survival-focused aesthetic to life.

"We’re honored to work alongside HBO® and Sony Pictures Consumer Products to create a collection that speaks to the resilience, ruggedness, and authenticity of both our brand and the show’s characters," said John Meagher, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing at Wrangler. "These pieces are built to last, just like the spirit of those who fight to survive in The Last of Us."

The Wrangler x The Last of Us collection will be available for purchase on Wrangler.com, with prices ranging from $35 to $95. Fans should act fast—like any good survivor knows, the best gear goes quickly. And don’t forget to tune in for the seven-episode second season of The Last of Us, which debuts Sunday, April 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO® and will be available to stream on Max, with new episodes debuting subsequent Sundays. In season two, five years after the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie are drawn into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
