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.

Katie Faces Her Fears and Out-Sings a “Troll Queen” in Author Randi McKinnon’s Latest Children’s Book Masterpiece

By: Get News
“Katie and the Troll Queen” is a cute little story by Randi McKinnon, who, as a young kid growing up in Norway, believed in the existence of trolls and fairies.

Many kids are fascinated by fairies and mythical creatures. Their stories enable them to temporarily run away from the mundane world they live in and set foot in a mystical world filled with much fascination. That’s precisely the offer of “Katie and the Troll Queen,” a 2023 must-read written by renowned author Randi McKinnon.

In the book, Katie is asked to go and pick some berries in the forest. The young girl encounters the troll queen her grandmother had cautioned her about. The mythical creature engages Katie in a singing stint, and a troll boy steps in to keep score. The battle ends with Katie securing the win. She then finds out why her mom was not able to sing along with her, something they both enjoyed very much.

The author, McKinnon, is a native of Norway who happened to immigrate to the United States. She recalls not having some playmates back in the day, forcing her to make her own games. 

"Most of my stories are fiction as I embellish on stories told to me as a child. Trolls, fairies, and the like have lived rent-free in my imagination, and those good old days are things I want to share with children," says McKinnon in an interview.

"Katie and the Troll Queen,” adds McKinnon, allows kids to explore trolls and enjoy an enchanting journey through their magical kingdom. 

“Through this cute tale, kids become aware that all trolls are not evil. They are very, very business-like people. They will play with you, crack jokes with you, but the back side is business," sounds McKinnon.

McKinnon came to the United States from Norway in 1959 and settled in Oregon. McKinnon retired after working in the food and hospitality service for 40 years. Thinking retirement was boring, she knew she needed something new to hold her interest. This fueled her to take a correspondence course in writing children’s books through the Institute of Children’s Literature.

Readers who want to grab a copy of "Katie and the Troll Queen" may purchase it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. They may also check out more information by visiting author Randi McKinnon’s website at https://randimckinnon.com/.
