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.

From the Who’s Next Festival Stage in the afternoon to a sold-out evening inside the arena, Summer Jam 2025 brought out the culture’s biggest stars and brightest newcomers. With over 15,000 fans in attendance, the stacked main stage lineup featured A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Gunna, GloRilla, Muni Long, Asake, Ayra Starr, Ja Rule and Friends, and more, delivering unforgettable performances. The 32nd Annual Summer Jam is scheduled to return in June 2026, promising to be even bigger.

“Summer Jam 2025 was a smash hit and as part of our partnership with Afro-urban media powerhouse Trace, HOT 97 brought a new voice to the main stage with three standout African artists—underscoring the global rise of Afrobeats and reinforcing HOT 97’s position as a cultural leader in music,” said Kudjo Sogadzi, EVP, HOT 97. “With this momentum, HOT 97 is already looking ahead to Winter Fest this December in Brooklyn and an even bigger and bolder Summer Jam in 2026.”

HOT 97’s digital platforms played a key role in amplifying the event’s reach far beyond the arena. The station’s unique HOT97 app and all major social media channels streamed a live special, Summer Jam Backstage with Miabelle, featuring real-time coverage, behind-the-scenes exclusives, and artist interviews, resulting in record-breaking engagement. Social engagement was up by over 1,000% reaching over 38 million users worldwide and on the HOT 97 web and app platform unique visitors were up nearly 80% over prior year.

“We’re creating a new era of Summer Jam that lives across every screen,” said Jim Carr, SVP of Digital Product & Innovation for MediaCo. “From livestreams on Twitch and exclusive YouTube drops to viral TikTok moments and interactive backstage chats with artists, we’re connecting hip hop fans everywhere—not just in the seats, but in their feeds.”

Between sets, fans were also treated to a sneak peek of the upcoming release of HOT 97 TV, a brand-new Connected TV platform designed for fans of hip hop, R&B, Afrobeats, and all things music, lifestyle, and culture. The growth and success of video content has led to the launch of HOT 97 TV FAST Channel this summer.

“We have seen so much engagement with our social and streaming video content that we are going even bigger with Connected TV video and launching the Hot 97 TV FAST Channel this summer, “said MediaCo Chief Operating Officer René Santaella. “HOT 97 fans are telling us they want more and HOT 97 TV will be the place where Hip Hop and Afro culture live 24/7 with real stories, music, entertainment programming and live events.”
