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.

Polly Pocket’s '90s-era compact is now life-sized

(BPT) - For 35 years, Polly Pocket™ has always been, well, pocket-sized - that is, until now. This summer, Polly's iconic home straight out of a '90s dream is now open for an adventure of life-sized proportions, only on Airbnb.

To celebrate Polly Pocket's 35th birthday, the pocket-sized doll is becoming an Airbnb host and opening her vintage-themed, two-story Slumber Party Fun compact, bringing to life a tiny world where imagination has no bounds. The pad is packed with nostalgic surprises to take guests right back to their childhoods while getting the 411 on the pocket-sized life.

'I can't wait for you to visit and help celebrate my birthday in my most epic compact ever,' said Polly. 'Let's have some serious slumber party fun in my hometown of Littleton, where we make the ordinary extraordinary. There's adventure to be had from my closet full of nostalgic fashion fun to the surprises I've left hidden around the compact. The fun is endless!'

About the Stay

Located in the quaint town of Littleton, Massachusetts, Polly's 42-foot-tall compact takes 'tiny but mighty' to a new level. Guests can request to book one of three one-night stays occurring September 12 to 14 for four guests each, at $89 per person - a nod to Polly's debut on the scene in 1989. As they step into Polly's world, guests can:

  • Explore every nook and cranny of the iconic compact, where a few hidden surprises await
  • Get ready at Polly's vanity, stuffed with nostalgic hair and nail accessories of her favorite colors. Did someone call for press-on nails?
  • Check out the retro fridge and craft the snack-filled picnic every '90s kid wanted
  • Try the doll life on for size in Polly's closet, where her most iconic throwback looks hang waiting to be worn in joyful hues and glossy silhouettes in the beloved signature gummy texture
  • Kick back in the living room with some popcorn, a movie and plenty of pillows
  • Doze off on Polly's pull-out couch or cozy up in her life-sized Action Park Tent just 10 feet away from the compact after filling up on slumber party fun
  • Make custom, Polly-approved charm bracelets to match with your BFF
