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.

Job growth among U.S. small businesses with fewer than 50 employees is holding steady in July, according to the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch.

“Our latest employment data points to a small business labor market that has remained consistent, including wages continuing below three percent, while workers have begun to see an increase in hours worked in July for the first time since August 2024,” said John Gibson, Paychex president and CEO. “We enter the back half of 2025 in a very similar position as we started, which speaks to the resiliency of small businesses given the amount of uncertainty they faced so far this year.”

Jobs Index and Wage Data Highlights

  • The national Small Business Jobs Index in July (99.82) matches the 2025 year-to-date index level, showing modest month-to-month movement and signaling a consistent trend of stability for U.S. small businesses.
  • Hourly earnings growth has continued to trend below three percent for 11 of the last 12 months, marking a return to the historical average seen from 2014-2020.
  • Since hitting a six-year low in January 2025 (2.27%), weekly earnings growth among U.S. small business workers has steadily increased during the past six months to 2.76% in July.
  • Weekly hours worked have shown positive growth in July (0.11%) for the first month since August 2024, and the one month annualized weekly hours worked jumped to 2.31% in July.
  • The Midwest has been the top region for small business employment growth for the past 14 months. Bolstering the region, Ohio (101.09) continues to lead states for small business job growth in July, followed closely by Indiana (100.89).
  • Education and Health Services leads sectors for small business job growth for the 14th-straight month.
  • Leisure and Hospitality remains last among sectors for job growth (98.35) in July, but its jobs index represents the largest one-month gain (0.59 percentage points) among industries.
