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.

Other World Computing (OWC) Takes Home Two Future’s Best of IBC2025 Show Awards, Presented by TVBEurope

Both the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock and OWC Jellyfish S24 Earn Coveted Honor at IBC

Other World Computing (OWC®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced its OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock and its OWC Jellyfish S24 have both been awarded a Future’s Best of Show Award, presented at IBC2025 by TVBEurope.

The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock earned a coveted TVBEurope Best of Show Award in recognition of its unique ability to connect to multiple high-speed networks, access blazing-fast network-attached storage (NAS), NDI, Dante, video streams, and expand device setups via a single Thunderbolt cable, providing creative and IT pros with serious speed combined with complete flexibility. Likewise, the OWC Jellyfish S24 earned its position on the IBC2025 Future’s Best of Show roster as a high-performance, cost-competitive, full SSD production server for media teams who need the responsiveness of full flash storage while still being able to easily expand their capacity in the future. The flash storage in the OWC Jellyfish S24 is powered by OWC's Mercury Extreme Pro SSDs, which provide unmatchable sustained Read/Write speeds.

“The winning products for the Best of Show program provide an outstanding overview of new technology at the show and recognize the very best broadcast and AV products and solutions on display at IBC - shining a spotlight on the very best,” said the awards editorial team.

“We are indeed honored to have been recognized not once but twice by the esteemed judges of Future’s Best of Show Award, presented at IBC2025 by TVBEurope,” said Chris Kooistra, Vice President, Marketing, Other World Computing (OWC). “In the case of the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock, we believe it underscores the industry’s appreciation for the struggle that creative and IT pros are facing – juggling adapters, dealing with too few ports, and waiting on slow network speeds just to get through the day – and this dock’s ability to change all that. With one powerful Thunderbolt connection, you get two 10GbE ports, a 2.5GbE port, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and four USB ports — all designed to simplify your setup and supercharge your workflow.”

Kooistra continued, “Likewise, the OWC Jellyfish S24 eliminates the roadblocks that slow down video editors and post-production teams, whether they need high frame video timelines and image sequence files or robust project files, Jellyfish empowers creators with the speed, reliability, and scalability they need to bring their projects to life without compromise.”

Future’s Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of engineers and industry experts, and are selected based on innovation, feature set, perceived value, and application in serving the industry. Winners receive a crystal-glass trophy for display at IBC and will be featured in TVBEurope. Winners will also be featured in promotional material for the awards, which includes online articles, newsletters, social posts, and subscriber-facing emails.
