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.

Why Social Media Influencers Love Composite Decking

(BPT) - In the ever-evolving world of home design, social media influencers play a pivotal role in shaping trends and providing inspiration and guidance for homeowners. One material that has captured the hearts of many of these tastemakers in recent years is composite decking. This innovative product combines aesthetics, durability, sustainability and ease that have made it a favorite among savvy stylists and home improvement experts. Let's explore why these influencers are so drawn to composite decking.

She's the Carpenter: Aesthetic Appeal

"I love how natural composite decking looks," said Ashley Quintero of @shesthecarpenter, who added a composite deck to her Texas home and documented the process for her followers on Instagram. "Through rain and sunshine, the look of the decking remains amazing."

"I am done sanding and staining and ready to make the switch to composite decking," wrote Emily Alexander of @EmilyMadeHome on Instagram. When talking about her decision to use Trex® composite decking for her backyard makeover, she said, "I love knowing my deck will look like new for decades to come with simple soap and water upkeep."

Wilker Do's: Easy Installation

"I've installed acres of wood decking and there's no comparison," emphasized DIY YouTuber April Wilkerson of Wilker Do's. "Installing Trex is so much faster and easier because it's completely consistent and perfect. No warping to struggle with, no knots, cracks or 'ugly spots' to deal with."

The Inspired Room: Durability

Melissa Michaels of @theinspiredroom recently revisited a composite deck she built back in 2018. After years of use and exposure to the outdoor elements, "There was never any warping, painting, chips or splinters to repair," she posted. "The deck looks just as beautiful today as it did the day it was installed."

Build and Create Home: Sustainability

"When I found out Trex decking is made from 95% recycled materials, that really blew me away," said Charlee of Build and Create Home. "With deforestation becoming a huge global issue, that one benefit is enough for me to build any future decks with Trex products."
