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.

Love in the spin cycle: How to turn laundry time into quality time

(BPT) - Laundry day doesn't have to be a drag. With a little teamwork - and the right technology - you and your partner can turn this everyday chore into a chance to connect.

LG, ranked the #1 appliance brand in the U.S. and one of America's "most reliable lines of home appliances" by Consumer Reports, wants to help couples see the sweet side of this shared responsibility. Here are four expert-backed tips to help you make the most of laundry time - together.

1. Make it showtime

Entertainment makes chores fly by. Pick a show you both enjoy, whether it's a 30-minute sitcom or an hour-long drama, and watch while you sort, fold and fluff. It turns multitasking into a mini date night.

Pro tip: Save that show exclusively for laundry time. It becomes your built-in incentive to get it done - and a ritual you'll look forward to.

2. Shop for new appliances together

Replacing or upgrading your washer or dryer? Turn the task into a bonding moment. Shopping together lets you align on what matters most - whether that's load size, energy efficiency or smart features that make life easier.

Explore the LG WashTower™, a space-saving, ultra-large capacity washer and dryer with built-in AI that takes the guesswork out of laundry. That means no more bickering about the "right" settings - it adjusts to your fabrics for optimal care.

Or check out the LG WashCombo™, an all-in-one washer-dryer that washes and dries a full load in under two hours - no transfers necessary. That's just enough time to watch a movie together while your clothes come out clean and dry.

3. Catch up while you sort

Sorting laundry into whites, blacks, colors, delicates and bulky items can be tedious, but it's the perfect chance to catch up. Exchange funny office stories, share a project you're excited about, plan a date night or commiserate over a busy schedule.

Pro tip: If you find any stains, make sure to spot-treat them! Is there a story behind that stain? Don't be afraid to share.

4. Set a laundry day

Busy schedules can make household chores feel overwhelming. Set aside a consistent day and time to tackle laundry together. It keeps your household running smoothly and gives you both a predictable moment to reconnect.

If you own LG laundry appliances, be sure to download the LG ThinQ app. You'll be able to monitor and control your washer and dryer remotely, get maintenance alerts, and even download new wash cycles - all from your phone. It's one more way to make chores smarter, easier and more collaborative.

Laundry doesn't have to be a chore

These four simple tips can help you transform laundry day from a dreaded task into a shared ritual. It's not just about clean clothes - it's about building connection, one load at a time.
