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.

Meeting the Needs of Modern HR

According to a recent study,* HR professionals are at a breaking point.

  • 62% of HR professionals reported that their departments have been operating beyond typical capacity
  • 57% stated that their department lacked sufficient staff for its workload
  • 66% of HR professionals who reported being understaffed were less likely to describe their HR department as effective

Sophie was designed to address these challenges by:

  • Analyzing and triaging incoming HR tickets
  • Auto-tagging and prioritizing requests by urgency and tone
  • Drafting replies that feel personal and thoughtful
  • Integrating seamlessly with leading HRIS and payroll platforms (including Workday, ADP, Dayforce, Paylocity, Teams, and Slack)

For employees, it means no more waiting or confusion—instant answers to time-off, benefits, and policy questions. For HR Teams, it means fewer interruptions, more time for engagement, culture, and strategy. For leadership, it means scalable HR support unique to their business that protects the employee experience and helps drive retention.
