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.

Box’s customer awards at BoxWorks have recognized innovation for 15 years, with past recipients ranging from emerging companies to members of the Fortune 500.

The SMB AI Disruptor Award, introduced in 2025, recognizes organizations using AI to move quickly, adapt with agility, and drive meaningful impact. Honorees are noted for leveraging AI-powered tools to streamline processes, free up employee time, and assist with more intelligent decision-making.

“This award reflects how we are applying AI to improve efficiency and deliver a better experience for the firms we serve,” said Larry J. Rybka, Chairman & CEO of Valmark Financial Group.

This work has been closely tied to Valmark’s collaboration with Box, particularly in testing and refining new AI tools.

“Our collaboration with Box has allowed us to test, learn, and apply AI in practical ways that are already creating measurable results and improving efficiencies,” said Geoff Moore, Chief Information Officer of Valmark Financial Group.
