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.

32 Organizations Honored with 2025 Theo Awards for Revolutionary Worker Protection Programs

From AI-powered injury prevention to PTSD treatment for first responders, winners showcase millions of dollars in cost reductions while advancing workplace safety innovation.

National Comp and Risk & Insurance today announced the 32 winners of the second annual Theo Awards, recognizing organizations that have achieved notable innovations in workers’ compensation and injury prevention. The award winners collectively demonstrate how modern workplace safety has evolved from reactive compensation to proactive prevention, generating millions in cost savings while protecting worker health and dignity.

Named for U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt – champion of America's first workers’ compensation legislation – the awards honor employers who take bold steps to support injured workers, prevent injuries, and solve today's biggest workers’ comp challenges.

Standout achievements among the 2025 Theo Award winners include:

  • Mental health breakthrough: The City of San Diego developed biopsychosocial treatment programs helping first responders heal from PTSD
  • Massive cost reductions: The Port of Houston Authority achieved a 77% reduction in medical costs through strategic partnerships and provider negotiations
  • Pandemic resilience: AARP navigated service disruptions to ensure injured employees received timely care during recovery efforts

“In the 20+ years I’ve worked in the workers’ comp industry, I’ve seen a remarkable transformation from what was an antagonistic and distrustful workplace environment to one that is worker-focused, compassionate and embraces whole-person care,” said Michelle Kerr, Conference Chair, National Comp. “What I see now is an industry that is proactive, that invests in prevention and understands the true value of providing every injured worker with the best possible care. National Comp and Risk & Insurance are pleased to honor these organizations' accomplishments. Theo himself would have been incredibly proud."

The 2025 Theo Award winners will be featured in the September/October 2025 issue of Risk & Insurance magazine, available Sept. 8. The awards will be presented at National Comp 2025, taking place Nov. 11-12 at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn.
