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.

Bridging the Gap: New Bootcamps Help Underrepresented Founders Break Into Tech

By: Brandpoint

(BPT) - In the business world, talent and tenacity are often described as the ultimate equalizers. But for many startup founders - especially those from underrepresented backgrounds - the reality is more complicated. Access to capital remains uneven. Networks that open doors to advisors, investors and early customers are often closed circles. These structural challenges can stall progress before it even begins.

Despite these headwinds, founders from these communities are launching some of the most resilient, creative ventures in technology today. What's needed isn't just grit - it's access, context-specific support and a clear path to scale.

Now underrepresented founders have a new opportunity that can help supercharge their success.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), in partnership with Techstars, a pre-seed investor backing startups building a better future for everyone, recognizes the importance of helping founders create transformative solutions, and as part of this commitment, they've recently launched a global initiative designed to support underrepresented founders around the globe.

Enter the AWS Impact Bootcamps

Group of co-workers working out systems with sticky notes on a glass wall.

If you're an underrepresented founder building something bold, AWS Impact Bootcamps are for you. Over two days, you'll get deep technical training with real tools, expert business advice from people who've done it before and direct access to mentors, investors and support that actually matters.

AWS Impact Bootcamps builds on AWS's $30 million commitment to Black, Women, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ founders launched in 2022 and scales AWS's global footprint in supporting hundreds more diverse founders beyond the U.S. to reach other countries around the world.

For many early-stage founders, the distance between a great idea and a fundable startup isn't talent - it's translation. Turning a product into a business means understanding how to pitch, how to price and how to map a go-to-market strategy. But, for founders who don't have access to seasoned advisors, this translation gap can stall momentum.

This is where initiatives like the AWS Impact Bootcamps come in. By designing a curriculum specifically around the most acute challenges underrepresented founders face, the bootcamps aim to equip participants with tools that often take years to acquire.

Scaling access, one city at a time

Each bootcamp accommodates up to 50 founders per city, delivering focused training on critical business themes like sales, GTM (go-to-market) or fundraising. The AWS Impact Bootcamps program will launch in six cities across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific:

  • Atlanta, Georgia, United States (Sept. 8-9)
  • New York, New York, United States (Sept. 15-16)
  • Mexico City, Mexico (Oct. 1-2, 2025)
  • London, United Kingdom (Oct. 16-17, 2025)
  • Tokyo, Japan (TBD early 2026)
  • Berlin, Germany (TBD early 2026)

Each bootcamp will deliver an intensive two-day experience, equipping early-stage, underrepresented founders with deep technical training with real tools, expert business advice and access to mentors, investors and community, in addition to $5,000 in AWS promotional credits to get building on the world's leading cloud. Workshops will be managed locally by the program partner, Techstars.

Join the next generation of founders

To apply, founding teams must identify as a member of an underrepresented community (Black, Women, Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and founders with disabilities), or demonstrate work, activities or engagement that otherwise supports such communities. Applicants must also demonstrate clear cloud technology needs and have secured pre-seed or angel funding up to $2 million. Additionally, they should be operating with a publicly launched product, be under 5 years old and commit to the full two-day program.
