About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Pride Month: Most Americans are skeptical about the motivation for business participation

Pride Month: Most Americans are skeptical of the business motivation surrounding the event

U.S. businesses that get involved in Pride Month celebrations will be met by skepticism by a majority of Americans over their motivations in supporting LGBTQ Americans and commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising.

A survey from Pew Research Group released just ahead of June 1 finds that both LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ Americans think the reason that businesses participate in the month’s events is because they believe it will be good for their bottom line. Among LGBTQ Americans 64% agree with that sentiment while 54% of non-LGBTQ respondents thought the same.

More than a third of both groups say businesses feel pressure to participate and only around 15% believe companies genuinely have a desire to celebrate LGBTQ people.

“Many companies sell Pride-themed merchandise and express support for the LGBTQ community in other ways throughout June, although some have scaled back in recent years,” wrote Rachel Minkin, a research associate focusing on social and demographic trends research at Pew Research Center on the company’s website.

Here are some of the other key findings of the survey conducted in January and February:

  • 66% of LGBTQ adults say they have participated in LGBTQ-related events during Pride Month at least once in their lives. This includes 49% who say they’ve participated more than once.
  • Adults who are not LGBTQ are less likely to say they have participated in LGBTQ-related Pride events. Still, 16% of non-LGBTQ adults say they have participated, including 9% who say they’ve done this more than once.
  • Certain groups of non-LGBTQ adults are more likely than others to say they’ve participated in Pride: Those younger than 50 (23% vs. 9% of those ages 50 and older), those with at least a bachelor’s degree (22% vs. 14% with some college or less education) and Democrats (27% vs. 7% of Republicans).
  • About a third of LGBTQ adults (32%) say they’re extremely or very informed about the history of LGBTQ people in the U.S. Another 44% say they are somewhat informed, and 24% say they are a little or not at all informed.
  • Among LGBTQ adults who indicate they know about LGBTQ history, few say they learned a lot about it in school. Instead, the most common source is the internet or social media: 60% say they learned a great deal or a fair amount from these sources. About half (51%) say they learned a lot from other LGBTQ people they know.
