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.

Legalese Decoder, the pioneering AI platform revolutionizing access to legal understanding, today announced a strategic partnership to host Oliver Fan's award-winning "Congressional Bill Tracker" on its expanded ecosystem.

San Francisco, CA -  Legalese Decoder, the pioneering AI platform revolutionizing access to legal understanding, today announced a strategic partnership to host Oliver Fan's award-winning "Congressional Bill Tracker" on its expanded ecosystem. As the Grand Prize winner of the SVCAF's AI4Legislation 2025 competition, Fan's innovative tool— a predictive AI dashboard for tracking and forecasting U.S. congressional bill outcomes—will now be accessible at congressionalbilltracker.legalesedecoder.com, empowering citizens, policymakers, and educators with real-time insights into the legislative process.

The AI4Legislation 2025 competition, hosted by SVCAF, challenged everyone including high school and college students across the U.S. to develop AI solutions enhancing legislative transparency, policy analysis, and civic engagement. Oliver Fan, a talented high school student from Texas, took home first place and a share of the $10,000 prize pool for his Congressional Bill Tracker. This groundbreaking project leverages a time-aware ensemble machine learning system—combining Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Logistic Regression models—to analyze over 16,500 bills from the 118th Congress. With 78-82% ROC-AUC accuracy and calibrated confidence intervals, it provides actionable predictions on bill passage (noting that only 1.7% become law), all integrated with real-time data from the Congress.gov API. The tool's focus on uncertainty quantification and bias mitigation sets a new standard for ethical AI in governance.

"Oliver's Congressional Bill Tracker is a beacon of innovation from the next generation of civic tech leaders," said William Theos, founder of Legalese Decoder. "By hosting it on our platform, we're not just amplifying his work—we're creating a seamless hub where users can decode complex bills with Legalese Decoder's plain-English translations and then dive into predictive analytics with Fan's tracker. This synergy makes legislative tracking more accessible than ever, turning opaque lawmaking into an empowering tool for everyday Americans."

This integration aligns perfectly with Legalese Decoder's mission to democratize legal and legislative clarity. Users visiting congressionalbilltracker.legalesedecoder.com can now:

  • Track and Predict: Input any bill to receive real-time status updates, cosponsor analysis, and AI-driven success probabilities tailored to the bill's lifecycle.
  • Simplify with AI: Seamlessly cross-reference with Legalese Decoder's core engine, which instantly translates bill text, metadata, and amendments into plain English—free for basic use, with premium plans starting at $9.95/month for expanded features like document saving and higher word limits.
  • Engage Civically: Explore interactive dashboards, ethical uncertainty scores, and educational resources to foster informed participation in democracy.


For small business owners navigating regulatory changes, students studying policy, or activists monitoring key legislation, this combined platform offers unmatched value: affordability (no costly legal consultations), speed (instant insights), and equity (free access to core tools). As Theos notes, "In a world where only 7% of bills become law, tools like this bridge the gap between complexity and comprehension, ensuring voices from all communities are heard."

The partnership builds on the momentum from SVCAF's September 21 award ceremony, where Fan's project edged out runners-up like the DebateSim Team's legislative simulation platform. Full details of the winners and ceremony highlights are available on SVCAF's site.

To experience the future of civic tech, visit congressionalbilltracker.legalesedecoder.com today. Legalese Decoder remains committed to planting one tree per paid subscription via OurForest, blending innovation with environmental stewardship.
