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.

SHOEBOX Wins Inaugural AIHA Connect Spirit of Innovation Award for PureTest Product

AIHA is proud to announce that SHOEBOX, a division of WS Audiology, has been named the winner of the inaugural Spirit of Innovation Award—the SPINNY—at AIHA Connect 2025, held in Kansas City, MO, May 19-21, 2025. SHOEBOX won this year’s top honor for its groundbreaking SHEOBOX PureTest solution. Designed to revolutionize how environmental and occupational health professionals test and monitor hearing in the workplace, SHOEBOX PureTest integrates portability, a user-friendly interface, and clinical-grade accuracy into a single, accessible device.

“SHOEBOX exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking ingenuity we had in mind when launching the Spirit of Innovation Award,” said AIHA CEO Lawrence D. Sloan, FASAE, CAE. “SHOEBOX PureTest offers a unique blend of mobility, efficiency, and effectiveness that enhances workplace safety and expands access to reliable hearing testing—particularly for field and remote operations.”

Selected by votes of in-person and virtual conference attendees, the SPINNY Award celebrates the vital role of innovation in shaping the future of occupational and environmental health and safety. SHOEBOX PureTest stood out for its approach to hearing health monitoring, promising to set a new standard across industries.

SHOEBOX developed the first ever iPad-based audiometer and released PureTest specifically for occupational hearing conservation, eliminating the need for sound booths during OSHA- mandated annual testing. With best-in-class ambient noise monitoring, SHOEBOX PureTest ensures the testing environment meets ANSI and OSHA standards. It’s an ideal solution for companies managing their own hearing conservation programs or service providers managing programs for others, enabling OSHA-compliant workplace hearing testing anywhere.

“We're honored to receive the first-ever Spirit of Innovation Award,” said Rob Walesa, VP of Diagnostic Solutions at WS Audiology. “This recognition affirms our commitment to transforming hearing testing through innovative technology. It’s a testament to the passion and dedication of our incredible team.”

AIHA congratulates SHOEBOX and thanks all the exhibitors who continue to drive progress and creativity in the field. The 2026 SPINNYs will return to AIHA Connect 2026, June 1-3 in New Orleans, LA, continuing to highlight the products and solutions that define the next generation of worker health and safety tools.
