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.

Construction Sector Holds Steady: CBIZ Survey Shows Firms Balancing Caution with Commitment to Growth

Firms are raising wages, delaying select projects, and navigating policy threats while still investing in people and planning for growth.

CBIZ, Inc. (NYSE: CBZ), a leading national professional services advisor, today announced the release of its 2025 Construction Industry Survey, which gathers insights from the U.S. Construction Sector nationwide representing general contractors and subcontractors, design/build sector, and industry consultants in architectural and engineering firms.

The survey results found that amid rising interest rates, global uncertainty, and persistent labor pressures, U.S. construction leaders are refining their strategies, but they aren’t halting work. The results are optimistic, balancing cautious project planning while investing in talent, technology, and long-term opportunity.

“There are many reasons to be optimistic when you look beyond the headlines,” said Joe Natarelli, CBIZ Managing Director, National Construction Industry Leader. “Firms aren’t retreating. Instead, we are seeing them adjust accordingly by raising pay, remaining strategic, and positioning themselves for what comes next.”

Key insights from Construction Leaders found in the report:

  • 67% of firms are raising compensation to address labor shortages
  • 62% say material price volatility is the most impactful political issue
  • 36% of construction firms admitted they don’t use any tax incentives
  • 34% of respondents delayed or canceled projects due to the current financing environment
  • 22% say labor shortages caused job delays in 2025

These insights, paired with CBIZ expert analysis, paint a picture of a resilient industry facing tough challenges head on while continuing to lay the groundwork for future growth. Rates have moderated, backlogs remain healthy, and most construction firms saw an uptick in opportunities, creating a reason to remain optimistic about the future.
