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.

Accel Entertainment Announces Soft Opening of Fairmount Park Casino & Racing

Accel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: ACEL) (“Accel” or the “Company”), a leading provider of full-service gaming solutions to local businesses across the U.S., today announced the soft opening of its first Illinois casino, Fairmount Park Casino & Racing, effective April 18, 2025.

This marks Accel’s strategic entry into the locals racino market—prioritizing convenience, operational efficiency, and market accessibility. It aligns with Accel’s strengths in delivering exceptional player experiences, managing cash logistics, and navigating regulatory environments.

Fairmount Park Casino & Racing is hosting the opening of its casino on Friday, April 18, 2025, with doors opening to the public at 9 am. The 12,000 sq. ft. venue, located at 9301 Collinsville Rd., offers the latest and most in-demand slots and electronic table games. Guests can also enjoy the various amenities at Fairmount Park, including new concessions and extensive improvements to the Park’s racing infrastructure.

“We are thrilled to open our casino and showcase our park improvements, highlighting the hard work and dedication of our employees and partners,” said Vince Gabbert, Sr. VP of US Gaming and General Manager at Fairmount Park Casino & Racing.

“I would like to thank the Illinois Racing Board, the Illinois Gaming Board, the City of Collinsville, and our local elected officials for their guidance and partnership throughout our development of this historic property. We would not have been able to complete this casino and park improvements in less than 5 months without their support,” said Andy Rubenstein, Chief Executive Officer of Accel. “I would also like to thank Vince and his outstanding team of professionals for their dedication to getting us here. I am proud and excited about the future of Fairmount as a premier entertainment destination for the Metro East Area.”

Racing season begins Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Gates open to the public at 9 am, and the first race begins at 1:30 pm. Skydivers will kick off the festivities.

Fairmount Park is also partnering with the nationally recognized Fifty/50 Hospitality Group to develop and expand the food and beverage offerings across Fairmount. Guests will now have the opportunity to enjoy the scratch-made cuisine at three new concessions with a full-service restaurant and bar opening in June. The Fifty/50 Group will allow Fairmount Park the ability to cater to corporate events, casual parties, and everything in between as Fairmount continues to grow its footprint over the next few years.

Gabbert added, “This year also marks the 100th anniversary of our racetrack, giving us the opportunity to celebrate Fairmount Park’s rich history while looking ahead to an exciting new chapter.”

Casino patrons must be 21 years of age or older to enter the casino. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537).
