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.

Real Brokerage Welcomes The Collective Group, Washington State’s No. 3 Ranked Team Based on Transaction Volume

Led by Tracy Erickson, the top-producing, community-focused Seattle team brings 15 agents and $575 million in sales since 2020 to Real

The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX), a leading real estate technology platform redefining the industry through innovation and culture, today announced that The Collective Group, one of Seattle’s highest-producing and most respected real estate teams, has joined the company. Led by Tracy Erickson, The Collective Group brings 15 agents who serve Seattle and King County.

Recognized as a RealTrends Verified No. 3 medium-sized team in Washington State, Erickson launched The Collective Group in 2020. Under Erickson’s leadership, the team has become known not only for its outstanding production but also for its collaborative, people-first culture. Over the past five years, The Collective Group has sales totaling 600 homes valued at $575 million. Year-to-date, the team has sold more than 180 homes valued at $148 million.

“Tracy and her team exemplify what we look for in team leaders at Real,” said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and CEO of Real. “The Collective Group’s incredible productivity, deep local expertise and commitment to mentoring and collaboration make them a perfect cultural fit. Tracy has built a team that leads with heart and excellence, and we are honored to welcome them to Real.”

Erickson brings 20 years of experience in real estate, including 13 years as an agent following a successful career in title and escrow. She remains actively involved in production while mentoring her team of agents, and fostering a collaborative, high-performance environment that consistently delivers exceptional results.

“I didn’t take the decision to move lightly,” said Erickson. “I spent the past year exploring options, looking for a brokerage that aligns with how we want to grow. At Real, I found leaders willing to share their time without expecting anything in return and a culture of collaboration. It truly resonated with me. This is the kind of environment I want for my team.”

The Collective Group is deeply rooted in the Seattle community. For two decades, Erickson has supported Providence Regina House, and her team has rallied together to provide holiday assistance through the Adopt a Family Program to families in need.
