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.

From Midwest eats to funky festivals, these are the places to visit in Rapid City this fall

(BPT) - Fall is the perfect season for a getaway, and Rapid City, South Dakota, stands out as an ideal destination for those looking to explore the Midwest. Nestled in the heart of the Black Hills, Rapid City offers a blend of outdoor adventures, national parks and monuments and diverse culinary experiences amidst the stunning beauty of autumn.

From food lovers to history fanatics, here are three ways to enjoy Rapid City in the fall:

Taste South Dakota's culinary scene

Anchoring western South Dakota and the Black Hills, Rapid City is the perfect place to base a trip. Abundant in agriculture, it's no surprise that South Dakota has robust culinary offerings. Start by sampling the state's signature dish, chislic - a deep-fried red meat that's usually served on skewers - at Gold Bison Grill or Murphy's Pub & Grill. End a meal with kuchen (pronounced koo-ken), a style of cake that is also the state's signature dessert - try different delectable versions at Dakota Steakhouse or Fork Real Café.

Other top culinary options include Bokujo Ramen, where the chef combines ingredients from South Dakota - like bison - with traditional Japanese dishes; savor creative dishes and fresh seafood (flown in) at the new Tandoor Bocado; dig into a perfectly cooked steak at Delmonico Grill and enjoy handmade pasta at Sabatino's Italian Ristorante. Creative cocktails are also on the menu at Windsor Block Bar. For a different style of flavor, swing into South Dakota's only Diamond Crown Lounge, the Tinder Box Rapid City, to sample an array of cigars.

Funky fall festivals

With a population of approximately 75,000, Rapid City provides a more intimate and navigable experience compared to larger cities in the Midwest. This time of year also brings fewer visitors, making it easy to explore the city and its 10 surrounding national parks and monuments.

Make the most of a trip by catching a signature Black Hills event. A few of note: Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup (Sept. 26-28), Pumpkin Festival (Sept. 28), Volksmarch (Sept. 29), Bierbörse Festival (Oct. 5), Black Hills Powwow (Oct. 11-13) and Mountain West Beer Fest (Nov. 9).

Delve into history

Rapid City offers rich history and heritage, reflecting the region's deep cultural and historical roots. At the heart of this experience, you'll find Crazy Horse Memorial®, an ongoing project honoring the Lakota culture, providing insight into Native American heritage in the region. Nearby, American history shines at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, where the colossal faces of four U.S. presidents etched into the Black Hills stand as a monumental tribute to the nation's history.

Mount Rushmore National Monument

Learn more about the history of the area on a guided tour in Badlands National Park, explore Jewel Cave National Monument, walk around Devils Tower National Monument and tour the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site.

Round out any visit in Rapid's vibrant downtown, with historical architecture, museums and the City of Presidents walking tour, which features life-sized bronze statues - and a short audio biography - of each U.S. president.
