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.

Tips for creating the perfect outdoor kitchen

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - With the growing trend toward creating outdoor living spaces, building an outdoor kitchen has never been more popular-or more attainable. Whether you love entertaining or simply enjoy dining outside, a well-designed outdoor kitchen can transform your backyard into the ultimate gathering spot.

One of the most versatile and durable options for building an outdoor kitchen is using Pavestone's RumbleStone® Wall Blocks.

Why Choose Pavestone's RumbleStone® Wall Blocks?

Pavestone's RumbleStone® Wall Blocks are ideal for constructing outdoor kitchens due to their rustic charm, durability, and flexibility in design. The RumbleStone® collection is designed to mimic the look of natural stone, with a tumbled finish that provides an authentic, weathered appearance, making them perfect for both traditional and modern outdoor designs.

Here's why RumbleStone® Wall Blocks are the go-to choice for your next outdoor kitchen project:

  1. Versatile Design Options
    Whether you're creating a simple grilling station or a full-scale outdoor kitchen with countertops, storage, and a pizza oven, RumbleStone® blocks can be easily configured to fit your vision. The modular design allows for multiple layout possibilities, accommodating any size or shape of the outdoor space.
  2. Durability
    Made from high-quality concrete, these blocks are built to withstand the elements, ensuring your outdoor kitchen stays beautiful for years to come. RumbleStone® Wall Blocks are engineered to resist cracking, chipping, and fading, even in harsh weather conditions.
  3. Ease of Installation
    Pavestone's RumbleStone® Wall Blocks are designed with DIY enthusiasts in mind. The easy-to-use system makes installation simple, whether you're an experienced builder or a beginner. The blocks fit together seamlessly, requiring little to no cutting, and are available in a variety of sizes to meet your specific project needs.
  4. Timeless Aesthetic
    The natural look of the RumbleStone® blocks complements a wide range of outdoor environments and architectural styles. Whether your backyard is lush and green or sleek and modern, the rustic charm of the RumbleStone® Wall Blocks adds character and elegance to any outdoor kitchen setup.

Tips for Building Your Outdoor Kitchen

  1. Plan the Layout
    Start by considering the size of your space and the functionality you want from your outdoor kitchen. Think about your cooking preferences, how many people you want to entertain, and the appliances you'll need-grill, refrigerator, sink, or pizza oven.
  2. Foundation is Key
    A level foundation is essential for the longevity and stability of your outdoor kitchen. Ensure you have a sturdy, flat surface before starting construction.
  3. Add Counter Space
    Countertops are vital for any kitchen, indoors or out. Consider using matching RumbleStone® wall blocks to create both the base and countertop, or pair the blocks with QUIKRETE concrete countertops for a custom look.
  4. Incorporate Seating and Dining Areas
    Make your outdoor kitchen an extension of your living space by adding comfortable seating. Consider building a bar or a dining area adjacent to the kitchen using additional RumbleStone® blocks (or Ladera Wall Blocks), allowing guests to relax while meals are being prepared.
  5. Lighting and Accessories
    Don't forget to incorporate lighting into your outdoor kitchen design. Ambient lighting can create the perfect atmosphere for evening gatherings, and task lighting is crucial for cooking. Add some personal touches like built-in shelves, plant containers, or even a fire pit.

Beyond the savings of not hiring a contractor, a homeowner can really personalize an outdoor kitchen to fit their style and taste with a modular concrete block base accompanied by a concrete countertop. It can be customized with a grill, bar and mini refrigerator to accommodate any dining and entertainment event. Other homeowners may elevate the experience even more by installing LED lights, a sound system or other luxury features. Whether elaborate or basic, design possibilities are endless for outdoor kitchens.

Building an outdoor kitchen with Pavestone's RumbleStone® Wall Blocks offers a beautiful, durable, and customizable solution for creating an outdoor space that's perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying with your family. With its versatility, timeless appeal, and easy installation, RumbleStone® blocks allow you to bring your dream outdoor kitchen to life.
