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.

Starboard Announces New Partnership with Princess Cruises, Will Debut Curated Premium Retail Experiences Onboard Star Princess This Fall

Starboard to Launch Luxury and Experiential Retail Offerings on Princess Cruises’ Newest Ship, Sister to Sun Princess

Starboard Group, the world’s leading retail curator at sea, today announced it is partnering with Princess Cruises for the first time and its newest ship, Star Princess. Set to debut in fall 2025, Star Princess will sail in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panama Canal and Alaska during her inaugural season. Starboard will curate product assortments from renowned brands and create personalized, premium retail experiences across 4,779 square feet on two decks onboard the new ship.

“Starboard is extremely pleased to continue our global expansion by launching this partnership with Princess Cruises and its newest ship, Star Princess,” said Lisa Bauer, Starboard’s President and CEO. “This collaboration underscores our authority as the leading curator of vacation retail experiences and we look forward to leveraging our deep expertise to create custom assortments and one-of-a-kind activations that will delight Star Princess’s guests.”

Star Princess will be the first vessel in the Princess fleet to feature a destination retail boutique that brings the regional itinerary to life onboard for guests. The Caribbean destination boutique will offer locally sourced, destination-inspired and artisanal products spanning food, apparel, accessories, fashion jewelry, kitchenware, books, drinkware and souvenirs for adults and kids.

Personalization and exclusive, in-person events will enhance the discovery and shopping experience on Star Princess. Guests will be able to have a wide range of adults’ and kids’ products—including apparel, jackets, handbags, backpacks, hats and bracelets—customized with embroidery, stamps, patches and engraving to create one-of-a-kind, wearable memories that commemorate their cruise experience.

In addition, the ship will feature a space dedicated to a series of rotating brand activations such as fashion trunk shows and activations with brand designers and ambassadors, who will engage in person with guests and offer styling advice and more.

Starboard will also introduce unique luxury retail offerings onboard Star Princess, including a first-at-sea Chanel beauty shop-in-shop. Other offerings include a carefully curated assortment of vintage and pre-owned luxury handbags onboard as well as a range of men’s, women’s and kids’ fashion and apparel. Star Princess will also offer an extensive assortment of fashion jewelry, including items from Starboard’s exclusive fashion jewelry brand, Shae.

“Princess Cruises is committed to offering unforgettable guest experiences and partnering with Starboard will elevate our retail offering for Star Princess guests,” said Alfredo Jimenez, Vice President Hotel Operations, Princess Cruises. “As our newest partner, Starboard will enable us to introduce a carefully curated shopping experience that feels holistic and true to the Princess Cruises brand, while offering something unique and memorable for each and every guest.”

The 4,300-guest, 178,000-ton Star Princess is a sleek, sophisticated sister to Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess. As the second Sphere-Class ship in the Princess fleet, Star Princess features cutting-edge architectural highlights such as The Sphere, a glass-enclosed piazza at the center of the vessel, and The Dome, the cruise industry’s first geodesic dome. In addition to unparalleled retail experiences specially curated by Starboard, Star Princess will offer expanded dining venues and non-smoking casino areas.
