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.

SummitX 2025 will be held October 19-21, 2025, at the glamorous Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in sunny Carlsbad, California. What’s more, new this year is a super-early-bird, half-price offer for attendees who register before May 31!

This unmissable event is the only one of its kind for telecom retail, bringing together carriers and MVNOs, authorized wireless retailers, device manufacturers, and telecom-retail-adjacent companies and vendors. It will offer a fantastic mix of conference and seminar sessions, unrivalled networking opportunities, a Vendor Showcase, a future-focused Product Showcase, and a host of incredible social and breakout events across this luxurious, award-winning resort.

The theme for SummitX 2025 is Reimagine Everything, inviting the industry to rethink and reinvent customer experiences, business operations, workforce management, digital transformation, strategic decision-making, how to benefit from AI technology, and much more. Two days of sessions and events on October 20 and 21 will see insightful retail experts and inspirational keynote speakers exploring all these new possibilities, with a deep dive into the opportunities created by AI and how it can enhance the human and retail experience. The networking opportunities, personalized meetings, and epic social events will enable attendees to magnify takeaways by connecting and collaborating with likeminded professionals and businesses. Plus, the unmissable Product Showcase will demonstrate brand-new, next-generation telecom retail technologies that are creating the Store of the Future today.

Andy Rash, Director of Retail Technology at Victra, one of Verizon’s major authorized retailers, said of last year’s event, “SummitX was electrifying and unforgettable. An incredible opportunity to network with industry peers and connect with a multitude of experts. The chance to learn and collaborate is simply priceless. An amazing experience!”

In addition to SummitX sessions and events, the Vendor Showcase exhibition will display leading suppliers and innovative solutions that elevate wireless retailers’ operations and customer experiences, while giving those vendors unrivalled access to new business opportunities.

Stefan Wiesen, CEO of SensorMedia, which exhibited at SummitX 2024, said, “As a vendor, we have been at trade events with thousands of attendees; only a few percent of them were relevant to us. At iQmetrix’s SummitX, every attendee was relevant!”

Registration for SummitX 2025 is now officially open. Those registering before May 31 can snap up the new super-early-bird price of $425, which is 50% off the regular registration fee of $850. Attendees are also encouraged to book their on-site hotel accommodation at the SummitX package price as early as possible.

Megan Howse, Senior Vice President of Marketing at iQmetrix, said, “I can’t wait to be back in person with this incredible industry. SummitX is all about continuous innovation, sparking big ideas, and creating great experiences. This year we’re in a truly transformational time with AI so we’ll be ‘reimagining everything’ together. Get ready for a truly unforgettable event.”
