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.

Sallie Mae Now Accepting Applications for Its Completing the Dream Scholarship Program

The Sallie Mae Fund and Thurgood Marshall College Fund Partner to Award $425,000 Scholarships that Help Remove Barriers to College Completion

Sallie Mae is again partnering with Thurgood Marshall College Fund to offer scholarships to students who encounter unexpected costs that can be obstacles to college completion. The company, through The Sallie Mae Fund, will award 170 Completing the Dream Scholarships worth up to $425,000 to help students complete their higher education. Applications will remain open until all funds are awarded or until December 1, 2025.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250602205730/en/

The Completing the Dream Scholarship Program offers up to $2,500 to eligible students on track to complete their program during the academic year 2025-2026 at a two- or four-year college, career training, or other post-secondary education program. Since 2021, the program has awarded nearly 1,000 scholarships totaling $2.5 million, helping students navigate unplanned expenses and complete their higher education.

“The Completing the Dream Scholarship was a crucial resource that helped me overcome the final financial hurdles on my journey,” said Savanah Johnson, one of last year’s Completing the Dream Scholarship recipients and a recent Bennett College graduate. “With my degree in hand, I am excited to use what I have learned to give back and make a positive impact in the lives of others.”

Research confirms nearly half (48%) of students who did not complete their program of study indicated financial challenges played a role in their decision to leave school. Often, it’s a small debt or expense that can stand in the way of a student graduating.

“For many students, the final stretch of college can be the hardest — not because of academics, but because of finances,” said Dr. Harry L. Williams, president and chief executive officer, Thurgood Marshall College Fund. “The Completing the Dream Scholarship provides that last boost of support to help students reach the milestone of graduation. We’re honored to continue this work with The Sallie Mae Fund and invest in the success of the next generation.”

“The great promise of higher education comes from earning a degree, yet nearly four in 10 students don’t complete college within six years. That’s not just a statistic — it’s a wake-up call,” said Nic Jafarieh, executive vice president, Sallie Mae. “Programs like our Completing the Dream Scholarship help remove barriers so students stay enrolled, stay focused, and get to graduation.”

In addition to the Completing the Dream Scholarship, Sallie Mae also offers scholarships to help students access and continue higher education. The company also connects students to scholarships through its free resource Scholly Scholarships.
