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.

Napa's quiet season: Where to stay, dine and unwind this fall

(BPT) - In the fall, California's Napa Valley transforms from lush, green vineyards and rolling hills into a stunning landscape of vibrant reds, deep oranges and rich yellows, all set against the bright, blue sky. As the leaves change color, the air becomes crisp and cool, creating a breathtaking backdrop to Napa's quiet season.

The end of autumn's harvest season affords Napa visitors a more intimate experience, a chance to explore the magic of the valley without the summer crowds. It is a time to take in Napa's rich culture with harvest festivals, seasonal culinary offerings and scenic drives through the valley.

Here are the best places to stay, dine and unwind in Napa Valley this fall.

Winery tours. Vineyards are the heart and soul of Napa Valley, and a visit to the area is not complete without taking in its storied wine history. The gorgeous, welcoming vineyards of Cakebread Cellars are the perfect place to find it. From November to February, this over 50-year-old, family-owned winery provides a serene, personal experience with fewer visitors, allowing guests to connect more deeply with its rich legacy of quality, sustainability and innovation. Tours they provide:

The Cakebread Classic Tour, their signature tasting experience, guides visitors through the winery for a 45-minute tour, interspersed with tastings of Cakebread's premium wines.

The Sustainable Wines and Vines Tour showcases Cakebread Cellars' commitment to sustainability in their organic farming, winemaking practices and the construction of winery buildings using reclaimed materials.

The Perfect Pair Wine and Food Tasting allows you to experience the winery's top wine varietals alongside Napa's autumn bounty, reflecting its culinary roots and on-site garden through food-friendly pairings.

Luxury accommodations. A beautiful hotel experience is half the fun of a trip, and there are many resorts in Napa that provide luxurious and serene surroundings to enhance your visit. Stanly Ranch and Carneros Inn and Spa are located near downtown Napa, offering a peaceful and lovely retreat after your day's adventures. When you visit during the fall, you can relish a premium stay without the premium price tag since hotel rooms can be up to 40% cheaper in the off-season.

Fine dining. Many restaurants in Napa Valley celebrate wine culture, from Mustards Grill with its 30-year tradition of "honest American fare with worldly sophistication, washed down with a glass of the valley's finest," to the elegant Brix Restaurant, with its focus on farm-to-table dining inspired by the traditions of Northern California. With smaller crowds, reservations are abundant, so no need to brave the long lines to visit your favorite Napa spot.

Hot air balloon rides. Called a "nature walk in the sky," Napa's long tradition of hot air ballooning gives guests a truly breathtaking way to see the valley's striking landscape, bursting with vibrant fall colors. Tours begin at dawn, allowing you to float serenely through the air as you watch the sun rise.

Hiking. In Napa, you'll find rugged mountain ranges, redwood forests, lakes and streams. Fall's mild weather and vibrant hues create the perfect backdrop for guests looking to stretch their legs in the outdoors. From state parks to local trails with vineyard views, there is an excursion for every skill level. With the cooler temperatures in the fall, you won't be hiking in the heat!

Hot springs. Unique to Napa Valley's Calistoga region, underground hot springs feed geothermal mineral pools, infusing them with healing elements that soothe the body and mind. Step out of the crisp autumn air and book a day pass at Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs to soak in the pools, which contain zinc, magnesium, calcium and bromine that relax sore muscles. It feels especially soothing to soak in the warm water on a cool day.

As the leaves change, Napa Valley is awash in color. Visit during this fleeting time of year and make the most of harvest season in Northern California.
