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.

How to protect your home from hail damage before the next storm hits

(BPT) - Smart, simple steps can help homeowners avoid expensive repairs this hail season.

As hailstorms grow more frequent and severe across many parts of the country, homeowners are looking for ways to better protect their properties. Mercury Insurance is sharing practical, affordable tips to help people safeguard their homes and avoid the high cost of hail-related damage.

With decades of experience insuring homes in high-risk regions, Mercury is committed to helping homeowners stay prepared - before the first hailstone falls.

"Many people don't realize how vulnerable their homes can be until it's too late," said Steve Bennett, Senior Director of Climate and Catastrophe Science at Mercury Insurance. "Taking a few preventive measures now can save thousands of dollars in repairs and offer peace of mind."

Hail protection checklist for your home:

  • Inspect and reinforce your roof:
    Check for missing or damaged shingles. If you live in a hail-prone area, consider upgrading to impact-resistant roofing materials.

  • Consider a FORTIFIED Roof upgrade:
    These roofs use sealed decks, stronger nailing patterns, and high-impact shingles to better withstand storms.

  • Install hail-resistant window film or shutters:
    This can minimize the chance of breakage and reduce damage from flying debris.

  • Trim nearby trees:
    Remove weak branches and keep trees maintained to prevent falling limbs during a storm.

  • Protect your car:
    Park vehicles in a garage or under cover when hail is in the forecast.

Why It Matters:

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), hail causes billions in property damage every year. And 2025 is already shaping up to be one of the most active hail seasons on record.

Mercury encourages homeowners to review their insurance policies in advance and make sure they fully understand their coverage and deductibles.
