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.

The Paychex Small Business Employment Watch for April reveals a small business labor market that remains consistent as owners of U.S. businesses with fewer than 50 employees navigate an ever-changing microenvironment.

The Paychex Small Business Employment Watch for April reveals a small business labor market that remains consistent as owners of U.S. businesses with fewer than 50 employees navigate an ever-changing microenvironment.

“Our April jobs data signals a small business labor market that remains stable as business owners navigate the evolving macroenvironment,” said John Gibson, Paychex president and CEO. “We are seeing no signs of a recession in our data as many small business owners are keeping their workforce levels consistent. Many leaders appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach to hiring until the macroenvironment settles and they have a better understanding of how any changes will impact their short and long-term growth.”

“As businesses continue to face new and ongoing challenges, we remain steadfast in our mission to help them succeed,” Gibson added. “Our recent acquisition of Paycor unlocks even more opportunities for us to help organizations of all sizes manage their workforce during an uncertain time.”

Jobs Index and Wage Data Highlights

  • The Small Business Jobs Index gained 0.27 percentage points to 100.02 in April and has averaged an index level of 99.99 over the past 12 months.
  • Hourly earnings growth for workers slowed to its lowest level (2.82%) since May 2021.
  • Weekly hours worked growth (-0.17%) remained negative in April despite one-month annualized growth of 2.62%.
  • All four regional jobs indexes improved in April, led by a 0.81 percentage-point gain in the Midwest. The Midwest remains the top region for small business job growth for the 11th-straight month.
  • Ohio spiked 2.24 percentage points to an index level of 101.94 in April. Ranked first among states for the first time since reporting began in 2014, significant job growth gains in Trade, Transportation, and Utilities in the state helped push Ohio to the leader position.
  • With an index level of 102.35, Minneapolis reported strong job gains again in April and topped the state rankings for the second consecutive month.
