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.

South Africa Construction Industry Report 2025 | Output to Shrink by 0.5% this Year, Due to Rising Costs, and Declining Private Investments, and Continued Residential Weakness - Forecast to 2029 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "South Africa Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q2 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The analyst expects the construction industry in South Africa to shrink by 0.5% in real terms in 2025 due to rising construction costs, and declining private investment, coupled with continued weakness in the residential construction sector.

According to Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), the average construction material price index (CMPI) rose by 1.8% year-on-year (YoY) in January-April 2025, while the value of residential building plans passed in the country declined by 9.9% YoY in January-March 2025. The industry also faces added pressure from US tariffs disrupting supply chains, leading to material shortages and higher import costs.

Moreover, attacks by construction mafias and local interference have also stalled key projects. For instance, the ZAR550 million ($29.4 million) Golden Highway upgrade project, undertaken by the local construction company LoneRock was stalled in June 2025 due to constant threat on its employees.

The South African construction industry is expected to register an annual growth of 3.5% between 2026 and 2029, supported by allocations as part of the country's Financial Year (FY) 2025-26 Budget (April 2025 - March 2026), in which the government is estimated to spend ZAR2.6 trillion ($137.7 billion) in the current financial year. Additionally, the government's plan to increase the share of renewable in the total energy mix from 22% in 2024 to 42% by 2030, will also support the industry's growth over the reminder of the forecast period.

In June 2025, the government, through the Department of Electricity and Energy and National Treasury, announced its plan to advance towards Independent Transmission Projects (ITP) Programme to modernize and expand the country's power grid. The program is aimed at addressing transmission constraints and supporting economic growth, by developing over 14,000km of new power lines and 53GW of generation capacity over the next decade
