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.

Former DaBhann Member Michael "Sparkey" Drakes Is Back With A New Single That Is A Tribute To George Floyd And The Black Lives Matter Campaign
Michael is a Caribbean singer who believes that music and its style can be turned at a three sixty if conscious and meaningful lyrics are added to tunes. He believes that the lyrics of his music set with a unique tone and beat will set his music apart. He wants the readers to feel his music but in a unique way.

Michael Drakes was born in Guyana which is in South America but because of South America’s ties to the British rule, the residents of Guyana are referred to as part of the Caribbean and therefore their musical style is intertwined in the region. Michael sings soca along with ragga soca, dancehall, and reggae. Michael is gifted with a baritone voice which is suited for ragga-soca and dancehall.

Michael wrote and sang the song “Can’t breathe” himself. The song was initially released for the public, when Michael participated in an online event on July 6, 2020. The song is a beautiful mixture of a dancehall tune with conscious and meaningful lyrics. The unique mixture of music that Michael comes up with sets him apart from musicians that create music in the soca and ragga-soca genre.

Michael has written a song on the outbreak of COVID-19 around the world. The song is a blend of calypso and soca; the musical tunes make it touching and appealing to the heart.

Michael plans on releasing a new solo album tentatively in 2022. He intends on making soca a renowned genre in the music industry and to work for the category with all of his passion.
