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.

Menina Fortunato Attends the Star-Studded Gala of the Stars and Interviews Dance Legends

By: Get News

Los Angeles, CA - October 24, 2024 - Internationally acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and founder of the Business of Dance Podcast, Menina Fortunato, had the extraordinary honor of being one of a few members of the press invited to the Gala of the Stars, held at the iconic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. As part of the exclusive media team, Menina interviewed some of the most celebrated figures in entertainment and dance, including award honorees and red carpet talent at this prestigious event.

The Gala of the Stars, which supports Dancers Against Cancer, brought together legends of dance and entertainment, honoring their achievements and shining a spotlight on the dance industry’s profound impact. Reflecting on the unforgettable night, Menina said, "I never imagined my podcast, Business of Dance, would stand among major outlets like E News, People Magazine, US Weekly, TMZ & other major outlets. This event was not only a dream come true, but also a humbling experience to share space with some of the biggest names in dance."

Celebrating Dance Icons: A Night to Remember

The evening honored some of the biggest names in dance and entertainment:

  • Liza Minnelli, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for her iconic contributions to entertainment.

  • Paula Abdul, presented with the Dance Legacy Award for her trailblazing dance / entertainment career.

  • Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Dancing with the Stars / So You Think You Can Dance), was the host of the show

  • Jamal Sims, awarded the Trailblazer Award for his innovative work in the dance industry.

  • Parris Goebel, honored with the Dance Innovator Award for her cutting-edge choreography and contributions to global pop culture.

  • Kyle Hanagami, recognized with the Vanguard Award for his visionary leadership in choreography.

  • Jojo Siwa, choreographed the opening number with dozens of young dancers (6 of whom were Menina’s Business of Dance mentees) and performed a show stopping tribute to Liza Minnelli

Other notable stars include: Abby Lee Miller (Dance Moms, Dance with Me)

Harry Shum Jr (Grey’s Anatomy, Glee, Crazy Rich Asians) & Shelby Rabara (Steven Universe)

Phil Wright (Disney’s Fam Jam) & Ashley Wright

Brian Friedman (The X Factor UK & USA, Britney Spears), was the recipient of the Educator Award at the Industry Dance Awards the night prior. 

As an avid supporter of the arts and advocate for dancers, Menina was especially excited to speak with these trailblazers on the red carpet many of whom were her long time friends. 

She had a memorable conversation with Paula Abdul.. “Growing up, her music, dance & choreography was a huge inspiration — she was my first concert at 12,  my first dance gig when I moved to LA to chase my dance dreams in 2001. Fast forward to 2019, I saw her with my family at her Vegas concert. And now in 2024, I've had the honor of interviewing her and witnessing her legacy being celebrated.  It was a full circle moment.

When I shared this story with her, she hugged me so tight. My heart melted and the inner child in me was crying tears of joy!,” Menina shared.

A Night of Glamour and Emotional Moments

The Gala of the Stars was not only a celebration of artistic excellence but also a reminder of the tight-knit dance community’s dedication to supporting each other through tough times. The gala raised significant funds (over $588,000) for Dancers Against Cancer, a cause close to Menina’s heart. “Seeing the community come together for such an important cause made the night even more meaningful. The emotional energy was palpable as HOPE stories were shared including one of Donyelle Denise Jones, a dancer I worked with years ago at the Latin American Music Awards with Maluma” Menina commented.

A Career-Defining Moment for Menina Fortunato

For Menina, this event marked a significant milestone in her evolving career. “Being part of this elite press team and sharing the red carpet with such influential figures has given me a renewed sense of purpose. I’m more determined than ever to use my platform to elevate dancers and bring attention to the industry’s unsung heroes,” Menina said.

Menina’s Business of Dance Podcast has quickly gained recognition for providing dancers with essential tools and insights to thrive in their careers. Her involvement in such high-profile events further cements her position as a thought leader in the dance industry. "I am really grateful for this experience and am honored to be apart of a beautiful night celebrating the dance industry," she shared.

Looking Ahead

As Menina looks to the future, she remains focused on growing her podcast and expanding her impact within the dance world. Her experience at the Gala of the Stars has reinforced her commitment to giving dancers a platform to share their stories and amplify their voices.
