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.

A Sensory-Friendly Vacation in Myrtle Beach

(BPT) - Taking a family vacation with a loved one on the autism spectrum offers a special opportunity to create meaningful memories together. While new environments and changes in routine can require thoughtful planning, many families find that travel can be not only manageable, but deeply rewarding and enjoyable for everyone involved.

One destination making travel more inclusive for all families is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Since 2016, Visit Myrtle Beach and the communities along the region's 60 miles of coastline have been committed to creating an autism- and sensory-friendly environment. Here's a look at some of Visit Myrtle Beach's newest initiatives that spread awareness of the joys of traveling for individuals with autism.

Traveling the Spectrum

A common misconception is that individuals with autism cannot travel. While it's true that 87% of parents with children on the spectrum don't currently take family vacations, 93% said they would be more likely to travel if autism-certified options were available, according to a survey by Autism Travel. To help challenge this assumption, Visit Myrtle Beach created a groundbreaking six-part series called "Traveling the Spectrum."

The unscripted show follows three families with members on the autism spectrum as they take sensory-friendly vacations to the Myrtle Beach area. The series highlights the transformative power of travel and the joy of creating memories and discovering the world together. A second season is currently being filmed and season one is available to stream now on Peacock.

Splish, Splash, Squawk!

In partnership with author and illustrator Lynda Farrington Wilson and White Garment Publishing Group, Visit Myrtle Beach has published a new children's book called Splish, Splash, Squawk! Finding Joy in a Sensory-Friendly Vacation. The book encourages families with children on the autism spectrum to discover the joy and wonder in a family vacation.

The story follows Maris the Parrot as she watches over the families vacationing in Myrtle Beach and addresses the challenges of new surroundings for neurodiverse travelers. You can order your copy on Amazon and get inspired to embrace the magic of a sensory-friendly family vacation.

Bonus: Need help finding sensory-friendly experiences during your vacation at The Beach? Visit Myrtle Beach has debuted Maris, an AI-powered travel assistant created specifically for neurodiverse families.

Maris is ready to lend a helping wing with personalized recommendations for sensory-friendly experiences, tips on accessibility and guidance for navigating the destination with ease. Maris is available to chat with you and help plan your trip on the Visit Myrtle Beach website.

Continued dedication to inclusive, sensory-friendly travel

The City of Myrtle Beach has been certified by the Champion Autism Network (CAN) as an autism-friendly destination. When you travel to this CAN-certified travel destination, you'll find a variety of inclusive in-destination experiences to make your trip more accessible.

From the moment you land at the Myrtle Beach International Airport, your family can decompress after your flight in the airport's Quiet Room. While you're there, check out the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program, which allows travelers with hidden disabilities, including autism, to discreetly self-identify so personnel are aware that they may require additional assistance.

Where you stay during your vacation matters. You can rest easy knowing that many accommodations in Myrtle Beach offer autism-friendly environments with unique amenities for families with children and loved ones on the spectrum. From trained hotel staff to minimized wait times, you'll find that guests are welcomed with open arms and treated like family at The Beach.

For neurodiverse folks, eating while on vacation can be stressful. However, several restaurants along the 60 miles of coastline provide a sensory-friendly dining experience. A number of sensory-friendly restaurants across the Grand Strand have made it their mission to provide unique dining experiences that cater to those with special needs.

When you're planning dinner, don't forget to use your Autism Travel Club Card. The card gives you access to special discounts and offers at numerous restaurants along the Grand Strand, along with thoughtfully trained staff, preferential seating and more.

Memorable experiences for all the family abound at The Beach, with events and adventures that cater to all abilities and ages. Head to Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach for a sensory-friendly mermaid show or take your kids to the Grand 14 Cinema in Market Common where they can move around freely while watching a movie.

A full list of autism-friendly attractions and events can be found here.

The Beach is for Everybody

From neurodiverse travelers to families and individuals of all abilities, the Grand Strand is a place where everybody can feel at home.
