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.

Sweepstakes Now Open for Illinois Residents to Switch On Historic Buckingham Fountain

ComEd, Chicago Park District host 11th annual Switch on Summer festival with artistic performances and ComEd customer resources

ComEd is teaming up with the Chicago Park District for the eleventh consecutive year to announce the return of Switch on Summer. The public is invited to Chicago’s Grant Park to celebrate the switching on of historic Buckingham Fountain and welcome the symbolic start of the summer season.

The free event on Saturday, May 10, runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and will feature a preview of the 13th anniversary of the Park District’s popular Night Out in the Parks summer event series lineup, and access to ComEd customer resources including bill assistance, energy efficiency programs, home energy saving tips and more. Enjoy family friendly entertainment from featured performance groups including NAJWA Dance Corps, Jabberwocky Marionettes, Cielito Lindo Family Mariachi, and many more.

In advance of the event, ComEd invites northern Illinois residents to enter a sweepstakes for the chance to be selected to switch on Buckingham Fountain at the event. All entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. CT on April 18, 2025.

“Summers in Chicago are glorious – but the season doesn’t start until water is flowing through Buckingham Fountain,” said Gil Quiniones, ComEd President and CEO. “Switch on Summer is an opportunity to come out of winter hibernation, gather around a world-famous Chicago landmark, and maybe even get some pointers on how to conserve energy and reduce your electric bill by accessing ComEd’s new bill assistance website."

Grant Park’s Buckingham Fountain is a major tourist attraction, welcoming millions of visitors every year as the scenic backdrop for summertime events and activities along Chicago’s lakefront.

“For almost a century, the reawakening of the historic Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain from its long winter slumber is undoubtedly one of the premiere summer events,” said Chicago Park District CEO & General Superintendent Carlos Ramirez-Rosa. “I'm excited to celebrate my first summer as Superintendent and even more thrilled to kick it off by bringing our famed Buckingham Fountain back to life and officially launching our Night out in the Parks event series. This event serves as a symbol for all the fun and joy that comes along with summer in Chicago, and is a celebration of our longstanding partnership with ComEd to ‘Switch on Summer’ and invite the public to one of the city’s most popular destinations.”

Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks makes every summer in Chicago even more fun by offering a free series of events accessible to all ages and abilities. Celebrating the vibrant cultures of Chicago and supporting emerging and seasoned arts professionals, this citywide event series will bring world-class entertainment such as outdoor movies, dance performances and theater productions to all 77 Chicago community areas in 250 parks throughout the city.
