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.

5 Easy & Helpful Picnic Tips for Guaranteed Good Times

(BPT) - When the sun's out and the weather is warm, there's nothing better than enjoying a meal al fresco! Skipping a fancy restaurant patio for a relaxing outdoor picnic is not only fun, but much more affordable! It doesn't have to be overly planned - just fill a basket with your favorite foods and head outside!

Whether you're packing for the park or enjoying a backyard hangout, these five smart tips make it easy to put together a delicious spread with minimal effort, no mess and all the flavor.

1. Skip the Prep with Ready-Made Sides

A winning picnic doesn't have to mean making everything from scratch. Combining a few homemade favorites with high-quality, prepared dishes allows you to ditch the prep and kitchen mess. Reser's delicious deli salads - like their Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Cole Slaw and Rotisserie Chicken Salad - taste just like homemade and are ideal for sharing. Add a few fresh fruits, sliced meats and crackers to round out the spread. The deli section of your local grocer can be your best friend.

2. Pack Smart Essentials

Cut down on overpacking by choosing items that do double duty. Use frozen water bottles instead of ice packs to keep your cooler cold and serve as drinks later. A large scarf or lightweight blanket can double as a picnic cloth. Compostable or recyclable plates and cutlery will save clean-up time, stackable containers mean fewer trips to the car, and trash bags are essential for when it's all done.

3. Keep Safety in Mind

Pack sunscreen and consider a shady spot to keep clear of harmful rays. Place deli salads and dips over ice to prevent food spoilage. Citronella or bug spray can help repel insects, while towels and wet wipes keep hands clean and spills at bay.

4. Add a Personal Touch

5. Turn Up the Fun

Bring along a card game, Frisbee or football for some laid-back fun. Remember to pack a Bluetooth speaker to let the good times roll. Solo picnicking? A book or journal is a great way to take in the natural surroundings and relax.

"With these simple tips, you can spend less time prepping and more time enjoying the day," comments Megan Torres, brand strategy manager, Reser's Fine Foods. "We've been helping our fans create good times and fun memories for 75 years. The key to packing for a picnic is making it easy, delicious and stress-free!"
