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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

Achim’s Story – A Riveting True Historical Fiction of Love, Loss, and Survival Amidst WWII’s Perils

By: Get News
Achim's Story - A Riveting True Historical Fiction of Love, Loss, and Survival Amidst WWII's Perils

In her debut novel, "Achim's Story," author Bettina Spicer Owens takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the tumultuous life of Joachim Wedekind zur Horst, a merchant seaman and one of the scarce survivors of the harrowing sinking of the Steuben in 1945. This gripping historical fiction is not just a recollection of wartime events; it's a poignant exploration of human resilience and the enduring impact of choices.

Joachim's saga begins with tragedy, set against the backdrop of pre-Hitler Germany. Born into an upper-class family, he unravels a life shrouded in deception, discovering the perilous consequences of his inquisitiveness as Germany succumbs to Hitler's influence. Dreams of the sea, a forbidden passion, propel Joachim into World War II, where he sails on merchant ships, earns the Iron Cross from Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and faces the ultimate test of survival aboard the ill-fated Steuben.

The novel delves into Joachim's wartime experiences, weaving a narrative enriched by love, tragedy, fear, friendship, betrayal, joy, and luck. As a survivor, Joachim grapples with the indelible impact of his choices during the rise of Hitler, narrating a firsthand account that echoes the resilience of citizens during the war. Supported by meticulous research and Achim's actual logs, this is an intimate portrayal of a young merchant seaman's trials and triumphs.

Praise for Achim's Story:

"This is a historical fiction novel, infused with facts from the life of the main character, as told to his stepdaughter, the author. The book is supported by extensive research, and actual logs kept by Achim. This is a firsthand account of the impact to the citizens during the rise of Hitler, as experienced by a young merchant seaman. Achim was actively engaged in naval maneuvers, barely surviving the sinking of his ship.

It's a story of war and the resulting deaths, with an emphasis on the power of moving forward with life in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds. Achim survives the war and goes on to live a life filled with optimism. I really enjoyed reading this book!"

“Great story that keeps you engaged throughout the book. Incredible that this took place in just a few short years - really puts things in perspective about the plight of the German people post-war, also just the general difficulty to get information in a timely fashion (v/s almost instantly knowing where anyone is now-a-days). Enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of the chapters - some of those were new and they are keepers!” - Jonathan Peyton
