About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Commercial real estate owners face data reckoning. Fragmented systems, vendor lock-in, rising OpEx, and an AI-powered future demand a new kind of leadership. In their groundbreaking new book, Peak Property Performance: Game-Changing AI and Digital Strategies for Commercial Real Estate (Fast Company Press, June 24, 2025, $26.95), technology entrepreneur Bill Douglas and systems architect Drew Hall deliver a bold, step-by-step framework to help CRE leaders take control of their digital infrastructure, unlock hidden asset value, and build future-proof portfolios.

Peak Property Performance is available anywhere books are sold.

The authors introduce their proprietary 5C™ Framework, a five-step roadmap to transform any property into a data-powered, AI-ready asset:

  • Clarify – Audit every digital asset and data source to uncover opportunities.
  • Connect – Unify fragmented systems into a seamless digital nervous system.
  • Collect – Build a culture where the right people, data, and tools align.
  • Coordinate – Ensure intelligent, real-time systems coordination and apply AI.
  • Control – Act on the insights that drive NOI and competitive advantage.

Drawing from decades of work with office, multifamily, and mixed-use portfolios, Peak Property Performance speaks directly to owners, developers, and capital partners navigating a rapidly digitizing CRE market. The authors expose how most portfolios leak value through fragmented systems and untapped data—and show how to reclaim that power, safely and profitably.

“Data ownership is the new location,” says Douglas. “And if you’re not monetizing your building’s data and digital infrastructure, someone else is.” Peak Property Performance is available on Amazon and major retailers today. Learn more at www.peakpropertyperformance.com.
