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.

The "Writing SOPs and Work Instructions that Really Work" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This seminar equips you with the essential skills to master one of the most common tasks in the life sciences: writing SOPs and Work Instructions. You'll learn to maximize the impact of your words through effective technical writing techniques.

Transform your regulatory documentation process into a powerful operational tool and profit centre with our seminar on 'Writing SOPs and Work Instructions that Really Work.' This seminar delves into the nuances of creating effective Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Work Instructions that enhance business operations and ensure compliance.

Creating these critical documents requires a deep understanding of various elements. You must be familiar with relevant regulations, comprehend how end-users will utilize these documents in their workflows, and collaborate effectively with subject matter experts. Additionally, knowledge of human performance and learning, as well as skills in structuring operational documents with optimal layout, visuals, and language, are essential.

Technical writing, particularly for SOPs and Work Instructions, is a specialized skill often overlooked in traditional education. Life science professionals are expected to possess this ability, but many struggle to meet the high standards required. Readers of these documents also frequently lack the expertise to recognize quality writing, leading to mediocre and ineffective documentation.
