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.

Major League Baseball creates first-of-its-kind partnership to boost women’s softball

Major League Baseball creates first-of-its-kind partnership to boost women's softball

Major League Baseball said this week it is entering into a “first of its kind” partnership with Athletes Unlimited Softball League to boost the women’s professional sports program and help it become “an established, sustainable brand.”

The investment, which is part of MLB’s ongoing commitment to supporting the growth of softball at all levels, will include joint sales and marketing efforts, extensive promotional support and broadcasts on MLB Network and MLB.com to raise the visibility of the AUSL and its athletes. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Major League Baseball’s investment in the AUSL represents an opportunity to support softball’s long-term growth and expand our engagement with these outstanding athletes and their fans,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in  a statement.

MLB’s investment in a women’s sports venture comes at a time when women’s sports is riding a wave of popularity, with sophomore WNBA basketball players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, 16-year-old women’s gold phenom Asterisk Talley, gymnast Simone Biles and members of the U.S. national women’s soccer team gaining worldwide attention.

The AUSL’s commissioner is a name brand herself: Kim Ng, who previously served as senior vice president of baseball operations for MLB and the first female general manager of a major American men’s professional sports team while with the Miami Marlins from 2020-23.

“As a part of our broader commitment to growing softball and creating more opportunities for women and girls in sports, this agreement reflects our confidence in Kim Ng’s leadership, the AUSL vision and the incredible talent of its athletes,” Manfred said.

“During this extraordinarily exciting time for women’s sports, we want softball to thrive. MLB is committed to help build a sustainable and impactful league that drives fandom, serves the softball community and benefits all female athletes,” he said.

The AUSL’s first season will be a barnstorming affair. Four teams — the Bandits, Blaze, Talons and Volts — will compete in a traveling circuit that will feature 24 games per team in a traditional format in 10 different cities from June 7-July 23, culminating in the top two teams competing in the best-of-three AUSL Championship from July 26-28 at the University of Alabama’s Rhoads Stadium.

Opening Day for the AUSL will take place Saturday, June 7, in Rosemont, Ill., and Wichita, Kan.

“I think this is an incredible step for both sports,” Ng said on CBS Mornings on Thursday. “Having worked at Major League Baseball for 10 years and having led that softball division, we were always trying to connect with the women’s side, with women’s college softball. And so, to now be able to come and have Major League Baseball support women’s pro softball and that landscape just is so meaningful to me, and to so many other young women and girls playing the sport.”
