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.

Operation HOPE Partners with City of Aurora, Illinois to Launch Child Savings Account Program for All Public School Kindergarteners

Operation HOPE, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping low- and moderate-income Americans thrive in an ever-changing economy, today announced that its partnership with the City of Aurora, Illinois to provide Aurora resident public school kindergarteners with an educational savings account has officially launched. Operation HOPE was selected by the City as the non-profit partner to manage the newly-established program, called Aurora’s Promise. The program supports the mission of Operation HOPE and the core values of the Financial Literacy for All (FL4A) movement, which strives to embed financial literacy into all aspects of American life – especially in underserved communities.

Aurora’s Promise will give each of the City’s kindergarten students an educational savings account with a starting balance of $50. The goal is for parents and caregivers to contribute to the savings accounts over the years, and funds will be able to be used for any educational expenses after high school, including college or trade school. The City will also be developing financial literacy programs as part of Aurora’s Promise. The program seeks to play a critical role in improving financial literacy and expanding opportunities for higher education by providing Aurora students with a strong financial foundation. Spearheaded by Mayor Richard Irvin and approved by the Aurora City Council, the City of Aurora will contribute nearly $2 million to Operation HOPE to support this impactful program, which is the first municipal child savings program in Illinois.

“We are thrilled to partner with the City of Aurora to bring this forward-thinking initiative to its youngest residents,” said John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE. “By planting the seeds of financial literacy early—starting with a savings account for kindergarteners—we’re not just helping individual children prepare for college or trade school, we’re setting entire families and communities on a path toward long-term economic stability. This investment is about more than money - it’s about hope, opportunity, and ultimately, strengthening communities.”

For more than 30 years, Operation HOPE has implemented impactful financial literacy initiatives, including a similar child savings program through its partnership with the City of Atlanta and Atlanta Public Schools, which was announced in 2021. Through this program, more than 10,500 accounts have been opened as of April 30, 2025, offering students and their families a meaningful start toward long-term financial empowerment. The program has become a model for how local governments can invest in the financial futures of their youngest residents.
