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.

American Kratom Association (AKA) Urges Louisiana Governor to Veto SB 154 – A Dangerous and Unjust Criminalization Bill

Governor should protect Louisiana citizens and support science and common sense

WASHINGTON, DC, May 28, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- American Kratom Association (AKA) is calling on Governor Jeff Landry to immediately veto SB 154, a bill that will unjustly criminalize more than 325,000 law-abiding Louisianans who currently use kratom as part of their personal health and wellness routines. If signed into law, SB 154 would strip these individuals—including many veterans—of safe access to kratom and turn them into criminals overnight.

SB 154 is based on misinformation and political favoritism, not science. During debate, proponents of the bill relied on incomplete and demonstrably false claims—ignoring the expert evaluations that led the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to decline scheduling kratom. Instead of protecting public health, this legislation caters to Senator Morris’s campaign donors, including anti-kratom drug rehab centers and pharmaceutical interests that stand to profit from a ban.

“This bill isn’t about public safety—it’s about politics,” said Mac Haddow, Senior Fellow on Public Policy for the AKA. “We’re urging Governor Landry to reject this reckless criminalization effort and stand with the 325,000 Louisianans who responsibly use kratom, many of whom are veterans managing chronic pain and PTSD without dangerous opioids.”

The AKA strongly urges Governor Landry to veto SB 154 and instead convene a Louisiana Kratom Commission to:

  • Study kratom’s safety and potential for misuse,
  • Address the risks of adulterated or synthetically enhanced products,
  • Recommend a science-based regulatory framework that protects consumers without criminalizing them.

Take Action Now

Louisiana residents can contact Governor Landry and ask him to veto SB 154 by visiting: www.protectkratom.org/louisiana

America should stand for facts—not fear, and for science—not special interests. Louisiana deserves thoughtful regulation—not blanket criminalization.

About American Kratom Association (AKA)

American Kratom Association (AKA) is a consumer-based, nonprofit organization, focused on furthering the latest science as guidance for kratom public policy. AKA works to give a voice to millions of Americans by fighting to protect their rights to access safe and natural kratom.
