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.

1,600 Thomas County Residents Now Eligible for Kinetic Fiber Internet

By: via Business Wire
  • $13.3 million fiber-optic internet development completed
  • Communities now eligible: Barwick, Boston, Coolidge, Meigs, Ochlocknee, Thomasville, parts of Pavo

Kinetic, a leading residential and business fiber-internet provider, and Thomas County announced the completion of a nearly $13.3 million fiber optic expansion project.

Kinetic and Thomas County leaders gathered today to celebrate the newly activated enhanced internet access for thousands of residents across Barwick, Boston, Coolidge, Meigs, Ochlocknee, Thomasville and part of Pavo.

“The need for high-speed internet in today’s fast-paced digital world continues to increase for our Georgia communities,” said Michael Foor, president of Kinetic’s Georgia’s Operations. “We’re proud to partner with the state of Georgia and Thomas County to bring more communities the internet essentials for residents and businesses in these areas.”

The Thomas County project has been generously funded through a combination of more than $6.8 million from the State Fiscal Recovery Fund (SFRF), and a county match of $1.3 million. To complete the project, Kinetic invested $5.1 million of its own funds to bolster Thomas County’s digital infrastructure and ensure that residents have access to reliable, fast internet services.

Kinetic, the State of Georgia, and 25 counties have partnered to invest over $354 million in Georgia broadband infrastructure development since the U.S. Department of Treasury’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law in 2021.

“This initiative is a testament to our dedication to advancing Thomas County’s digital infrastructure,” said Mark NeSmith, chairman of the Thomas County Board of Commissioners. “We are proud to partner with [Kinetic] and state officials to bring high-speed internet access to our community, paving the way for new opportunities in education, business and beyond.”

Residents can now access faster speeds, increased bandwidth, and more reliable connectivity, supporting both personal and professional digital needs.

“The completion of this fiber optic network is a significant step forward for Thomas County,” said state Sen. Sam Watson, District 11. “It demonstrates the power of collaboration between public and private entities to address critical infrastructure needs, ensuring our communities remain connected and competitive.”

This expansion was part of Kinetic's strategic plan where more than 5,000 locations built in Thomas County are now eligible for improved fiber internet services.

“This project is vital for the future growth and development of Thomas County,” said state Rep. Darlene Taylor, District 173. “High-speed internet is essential for fostering innovation and economic development, and I am thrilled to see this investment come to fruition.”

According to research, those communities connected to fiber internet have up to 213% higher business growth, 10% higher self-employment, and a 14-17% increase in home values.

“I am proud to support initiatives that bring these opportunities and services to our constituents,” said state Rep. Chas Cannon, District 172. “The new fiber network will have a lasting impact on our part of the state, enhancing connectivity and accessibility for those of us in rural southwest Georgia."

Thomas County residents now eligible for enhanced fiber internet speeds can now call Kinetic at 229-317-1607 or visit the website at www.gokinetic.com to learn more about services in their area and products offered.

This project was administered through the State of Georgia and Thomas County and was supported in whole or part by the American Rescue Plan Act State Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, a federal award granted to the State of Georgia by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
