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.

Ichcha blends a tale of craftsmanship, women’s empowerment, and sustainable living

By: Get News
Ichcha is a pioneer in the world of handmade textiles that is on a mission to preserve and promote the rich tradition of Indian craftsmanship. Specializing in block-printed tablecloths, curtains, napkins, and an array of other exquisite products, Ichcha stands as a beacon of high-quality craftsmanship and women's empowerment in the heart of India.

USA - Ichcha's story is one rooted in a deep desire to protect the timeless art of handcrafted textiles. Ichcha believes in upholding the beauty and value of handmade crafts. The brand is passionate about not only preserving traditional Indian crafts but also empowering the women artisans who bring these crafts to life.

It all began with a wish to safeguard and celebrate the exquisite world of handmade textiles, which was slowly fading amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life,” said Rachna, one of the three founding sisters. "Our passion drove us to embark on a craft tour of India, where we met artisans and their families and witnessed their dedication to preserving their ancestral traditions. Thus, Ichcha was born, a wish to live consciously, respecting both the environment and the products we create and seek."

Ichcha's diverse product line includes handwoven scarves, block-printed tablecloths, artistic curtains, unique rugs, thoughtful gift items, and much more. Block printing, an age-old technique, is at the heart of Ichcha's creations. Ichcha is on a mission to bring the spirit of these craft-filled lanes of India closer to modern homes.

Ichcha's journey begins with organic farmers who supply the cotton spun into thread by the communities with whom the brand collaborates. This hand-spun and hand-woven cotton, known as "Khadi," has a rich history dating back to Mahatma Gandhi's self-reliance movement. By using Khadi, Ichcha not only pays homage to this historic initiative but also supports sustainable farming practices.

As a commitment to sustainability, Ichcha dyes the fabrics using natural minerals and flowers. The fabrics are carefully folded into dye vats and sun-dried, harnessing the sweltering Indian summers to expedite the process. Subsequently, they are washed in open tubs to remove any excess color, ensuring the use of eco-friendly methods.

Women's empowerment lies at the core of Ichcha's mission. The brand partners with NGOs that work with tribal women skilled in embroidery. These remarkable women often embroider without the aid of chalk markers, demonstrating their exceptional talents. Ichcha also collaborates with artisan communities that provide employment to women in their homes, allowing them to contribute to Ichcha's creations alongside their daily responsibilities.
