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.

New campaign turns Metro’s new lower-priced plans and 5-year price guarantee into limited-edition streetwear

Kicking off with designs by Chicago artist Mía Lee, the limited-edition drop includes oversized tees, statement hats and socks — priced from just $12

Metro by T‑Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today launched The Metro Drop, a new series of limited‑edition merch releases that turn Metro’s lowered plan prices and its 5‑year price guarantee on talk, text and data into wearable art. The first release, “The Price Drop Drop,” created with renowned Chicago artist Mía Lee (collabs: Urban Outfitters, Nike, Chance the Rapper), is now live at themetrodrop.com with graphic tees, statement hats and socks.

Metro by T-Mobile Reinforces Wireless Value With “The Metro Drop” — A Streetwear Collab That Puts Savings Back in Style

“We lowered prices and locked them for five years because real savings matter — especially now,” said Karah Schmitz, Vice President of Prepaid. “The Metro Drop brings that promise to life in a way people can see and wear. It’s a bold, tangible reminder of the value Metro delivers every day. Mía’s art perfectly captures the spirit of our customers: creative, rooted in community and unapologetically original.”

Known for her expressive, character-driven style and community-rooted storytelling, Lee brings her South Side Chicago perspective to the collection and celebrates the hustle, heart and individuality that define the neighborhoods Metro serves.

“Everything I create is about reflecting the world around me. This collection is inspired by the energy that raised me: the people, the colors, the spirit of Chicago’s South Side,” said Lee. “Partnering with Metro felt natural because they show up the same way I try to — with honesty, intention and a deep love for where we come from. This collab with Metro isn’t just about fashion. It’s about being seen, being heard and showing pride in where you’re from. I wanted every piece to feel like it could’ve come right off your block.”

Forget typical wireless moves. Metro’s out here dropping art, not just ads — straight from the blocks that built us. Every piece in The Metro Drop is limited in quantity, packed with purpose and loud with intention. The Price Drop Drop isn’t just about savings — it’s about repping the neighborhoods we’re from and the people who define culture every day. It’s brand belief you can wear — made for people who don’t follow trends … they set them.

The Price Drop Drop Deets:

  • Drop date: Sept. 25, 2025
  • Artist: Mía Lee (@hotfunmia)
  • What’s included: Oversized T-Shirts for $30, Statement Hats for $20 and High Socks — three pairs for $12
  • Where to get it: themetrodrop.com
  • Chicago fans can celebrate in person at a special pop-up today, September 25, from 2–6 PM at The Silver Room in Hyde Park, where Mía Lee will be on site with exclusive merch, signed art and live music.
