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.

Building on a milestone year for the company, Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK) today announced the appointment of Kavitha Mariappan as its Chief Transformation Officer (CTxO).

A veteran go-to-market executive and respected thought leader, Mariappan brings a wealth of experience across enterprise software and cybersecurity, with past executive and leadership roles at industry powerhouses such as Zscaler, Databricks, and Cisco. Most recently, she served as Executive Vice President of Customer Experience and Transformation at Zscaler, where she built and scaled the company’s CXO and Transformation Practice. Her efforts were instrumental in helping the company scale 10X in ARR growth, while shaping industry thought leadership around Zero Trust Security and IT modernization.

She brings the same passion and precision we value at Rubrik—relentlessly focused on delivering customer value and protecting what matters most: data and business continuity.”

I’m joining Rubrik at this pivotal moment to help the world’s most essential institutions stay secure, protect their data, and turn resilience into a competitive advantage.”

Mariappan joins Rubrik’s Executive Leadership Team following the appointment of Nicole Perlroth-bestselling cybersecurity author and former lead cybersecurity reporter at The New York Times –as Chief Cyber Raconteur.
