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.

Qlik Survey: Tariffs Now Rival AI in Reshaping American Graduate Job Market

By: via Business Wire

New Qlik research shows that tariffs, not just AI, are changing what work looks like in the future

In 2025, the most disruptive force in the US job market isn’t AI. It’s trade policy, according to a new survey from Qlik®, a leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Tariffs and global trade shifts are quietly reshaping the workforce, creating new roles like Tariff Mitigation Strategist and Reshoring Program Manager, while eliminating others altogether. Among graduates in the class of 2024-25, 34% cite trade disruption as a key reason their job prospects have changed, putting tariffs on par with AI (33%). Meanwhile, 48% say jobs in their field are already being automated, and 66% have changed their career goals since January.

“Tariffs are no longer a background factor,” said Mike Capone, CEO at Qlik. “They’re reshaping hiring plans, altering supply chain strategies, and creating roles companies didn’t even know they needed six months ago. Employers are adapting quickly, but many are still operating without a clear picture of the skills available or the ones they’ll need next.”

Qlik commissioned two national surveys. One of 1,000 U.S. graduates (Class of 2024–25) and another of 1,500 business leaders. The combined results show a generational gap in awareness, and a systemic rewrite of the workforce already underway.

Grads are confident, but underprepared:

  • 66% have already changed their career goals this year
  • 80% of graduates say they feel more confident in their career prospects than they did in January
  • 48% say jobs in their field are being replaced by automation
  • 24% say roles are being eliminated entirely

While graduates express confidence, employers are quietly reshaping their organizations:

  • 31% of companies plan to increase investment in supply chain and manufacturing despite trade volatility
  • Only 57% believe grads have the skills companies need today and 28% cite AI/automation literacy as a skill they’re struggling to hire
  • 1 in 5 businesses have created entirely new job roles in response to tariffs, including:
    • Tariff Mitigation Strategist
    • Reshoring Program Manager
    • AI Lead
    • Supply Chain Resilience Analyst
  • While firms are investing in tools like predictive analytics (40%) and automation (50%), 39% admit their internal data is still limited or incomplete

“This is where data has to lead. Workforce change is happening faster than most systems can track, and the cost of slow insight is rising. Business leaders need sharper signals to navigate volatility, and graduates need clearer visibility into what’s changing. Better data won’t solve every challenge, but it’s how you stop guessing and start planning,” added Mike Capone.

The gap between what companies need and what graduates expect is widening. Nearly half of grads say automation is already replacing jobs in their field, and a third cite trade disruption as a reason their career plans have changed. Companies are still hiring and grads are adapting. With the right data, and the right investment in real-time insight, current disconnects become an opportunity for the workforce of tomorrow.
