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.

Summit Bank Wins American Bankers Association’s Brand Slam “Out-of-the-Box Idea” Award for Summit House Campaign

Summit Bank announced today that it has been honored with the American Bankers Association’s 2025 Brand Slam award for “Out-of-the-Box Idea,” recognizing the Bank’s bold, community-driven campaign, Summit House. The award was presented at the ABA Bank Marketing Conference in New Orleans, where the ABA recognized six banks nationwide for standout marketing achievements.

The Brand Slam awards—judged by a volunteer panel of 75 Certified Financial Marketing Professionals (CFMP) experts—evaluate concepts, strategies, creativity, execution, and impact across six categories. The Out-of-the-Box Idea category honors inventive bank strategies, campaigns, promotional items, or other forms of marketing genius that don’t fit into traditional buckets.

“Bank marketing is crucial for attracting and retaining customers in a competitive marketplace,” said Russell Davis, the ABA’s executive vice president of member experience. “This year’s Brand Slam winners stand out for their highly creative approaches to connecting with their communities, personalizing customer experiences, and building brand trust.”

Summit Bank’s award-winning Summit House campaign blends cinematic storytelling, local nostalgia, and humor to deliver a clear brand message with heart. Premiered during Summit Bank’s 10th year as title sponsor of the Eugene Chamber’s Celebration of Business, the 3.5-minute film pays tribute to Eugene’s culture—drawing inspiration from the University of Oregon’s iconic “Shout” commercial and the classic film Animal House, both shot locally. Every person featured in the video is either a well-known client, a business owner, or a colleague of Summit Bank, underscoring the genuine relationships that define the Bank’s brand.

“This recognition belongs to our clients and colleagues—because they’re the stars of the story, literally,” said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO of Summit Bank. “With Summit House, we set out to create something that feels true to Eugene, celebrated the people who make our region special, and showed what relationship banking looks like when you put community first.”

“From concept to casting, our north star was authentic,” added Jenny Bennett, Executive Vice President, Market President for Eugene & Springfield, “By spotlighting real clients, founders of the Bank, and teammates nodding to Eugene’s pop-culture roots, we built a campaign that made people smile—and reminded them why local banking matters.”
