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.

Ryan Rearden Featured in Exclusive Interview on Business Strategy and Resilience
Ryan Rearden
Atlanta-Based Entrepreneur Shares Lessons on Failure, Partnerships, and Innovation

Ryan Rearden, a respected entrepreneur and business strategist, has been featured in an exclusive online interview discussing his career, business philosophy, and the lessons he has learned from failure. Known for his ability to adapt in fast-changing industries, Rearden shares insights into his experiences in hospitality, consulting, and technology.

Rearden’s career path has been anything but conventional. From high-level positions at MGM Resorts International and Drai’s Enterprises to co-founding ventures like Dinner With a View and Fliiks, Inc., he has built businesses, faced setbacks, and pivoted into new opportunities. His interview offers a candid look at how resilience and strategic thinking have shaped his journey.

“I used to think success was about avoiding failure,” says Rearden. “Now I know success is about learning from failure and using it to move forward.”

TURNING FAILURE INTO A GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

Rearden is no stranger to setbacks. In the interview, he shares one of his biggest business challenges—partnering in a hospitality company that had hidden financial problems. The situation led to legal and operational issues, forcing him to rethink his approach.

“That experience taught me a lot,” he explains. “Always do your due diligence, no matter how good a deal looks.”

Instead of letting failure define him, he took the lessons learned and applied them to future ventures. Today, he helps other business owners navigate challenges, offering strategic advice on growth, problem-solving, and resilience.

“Failure isn’t the end,” he says. “It’s just a redirection toward something better.”

WHY STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS MATTER

Another key lesson Rearden shares is the importance of collaboration. Early in his career, he tried to handle everything on his own. Over time, he realized that the right partnerships can accelerate success.

“The right partners bring skills and connections you don’t have,” he says. “No one succeeds alone.”

Through collaborations with experts in hospitality, tech, and finance, Rearden has expanded his reach and grown his businesses faster. He believes trust, shared vision, and complementary strengths are the foundation of a successful partnership.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Rearden continues to push forward with new projects. He is currently developing an innovative app designed to carve out a new niche in the gig economy. Additionally, he serves on the board of a consulting firm focused on improving emergency response strategies for small municipalities.

One of the biggest trends he sees shaping the future is artificial intelligence in customer service.

“AI isn’t about replacing people,” he says. “It’s about using technology to make interactions better and more meaningful.”

ADVICE FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS

For those looking to start their own businesses, Rearden has simple but powerful advice:

“Don’t wait for the perfect time,” he says. “It doesn’t exist. Start now, test your ideas, and be willing to adjust.”

He also emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.

“Surround yourself with people who push you to be better,” he says. “And never stop learning.”
