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.

Make Your Car Your Valentine: Mercury Insurance Advises How to Save on Auto Repairs

(BPT) - Regularly Showing Your Car Some Love Can Save on Auto Repairs

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show your trusty vehicle some love, and maintaining it is the best and most cost-effective way to do so. With rising costs associated with operating and repairing a vehicle, Mercury Insurance is offering some tips to reduce running costs while keeping your vehicle in optimal condition. These simple steps can show your second most costly investment how much you care.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the average cost of car maintenance and repairs is $975 per year, or approximately $80 per month. Several factors are driving up these costs, including complex vehicle technology; specialized tools needed for repairs; a shortage of skilled technicians; and rising labor costs.

"While we recognize that the cost of vehicle ownership is rising, being proactive can dramatically lower the burden of vehicle repairs down the road," said Kevin Quinn, Vice President of Auto Claims for Mercury Insurance. "We demand a lot out of our vehicles day in and day out, so keeping up with maintenance is critical and there are ways to do so without spending an arm and a leg."

Here are some points to consider:

  • Routine maintenance: Follow your car's recommended maintenance schedule, including oil changes and filter replacements, to prevent major repairs and save you money in the long run.
  • Shop around for quotes: Get estimates from multiple repair shops before committing to a repair.
  • Buy your own parts: Consider purchasing parts online and bringing them to your mechanic to install, which can often be cheaper than buying parts directly from the shop.
  • Check tire pressure: Regularly monitor tire pressure and inflate them to the recommended level to improve fuel efficiency and tire lifespan.
  • DIY simple repairs: For basic tasks like changing your oil, air filter, or battery, consider doing them yourself to save on labor costs when possible.
  • Choose a trusted mechanic: Find a reputable repair shop with a good reputation for quality work and fair pricing.
  • Address issues promptly: Don't ignore warning lights or small problems, as they can escalate into more expensive repairs if left unattended.
  • Consider aftermarket parts: Depending on the repair, using aftermarket parts can sometimes be a cost-effective option.

By following these recommendations and giving your car some tender loving care this Valentine's Day, you can reduce the frequency of costly repairs in the future and extend the life of your vehicle and your relationship as well.
