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.

From Pizza to Property to Purpose: Christopher Mickey’s Journey Offers a Blueprint for Entrepreneurs

From Pizza to Property to Purpose: Christopher Mickey’s Journey Offers a Blueprint for Entrepreneurs
Christopher Mickey, New Port Richey, FL, USA
How One Florida Business Owner’s Lessons in Efficiency, Technology, and Trust Translate Across Borders

In a compelling new interview, entrepreneur Christopher Mickey shares the experiences that shaped his unique business path—from reviving a struggling pizza franchise to flipping over 545 homes, and now running a high-performing HVAC company. His story, featured in the exclusive article “Christopher Mickey: From Pizza to Property to HVAC—Lessons for London Entrepreneurs,” reveals actionable strategies for aspiring business owners, whether in Florida, London, or beyond.

Early in his career, Mickey took over a failing pizza shop and turned it into one of the franchise's top locations. “Running a pizza shop taught me how to manage a team and keep customers happy,” he says. “Those lessons are universal, whether you're serving food or installing HVAC systems.” That mindset became the cornerstone of his business approach—efficiency, customer focus, and problem-solving.

Following his restaurant success, Mickey and his wife transitioned into real estate. Over the course of 17 years, they flipped more than 545 homes. It was during this period that he noticed a frustrating pattern: HVAC services were frequently unreliable, delaying projects and increasing costs. “We were constantly delayed by HVAC problems,” he recalls. “I decided to create a company that homeowners and investors could trust.” That insight led to the founding of Airheads HVAC.

Mickey’s emphasis on energy-efficient systems and smart home technology has become central to his mission. He sees the HVAC industry not just as a trade, but as a platform for innovation. “Technology is changing how we manage indoor environments,” he explains. “Smart systems provide better comfort and lower energy bills.” These approaches are especially relevant to cities like London, where sustainability and energy efficiency are at the forefront of building trends.

His commitment to community service further distinguishes his leadership. After Hurricane Helene devastated parts of Florida, Mickey and his team provided free and discounted HVAC repairs to those most in need. “When disaster strikes, it’s about helping people,” he says. “We had the skills and resources, so we stepped up.”

Mickey’s journey also offers lessons on timing and decision-making. “Don’t wait for the perfect moment,” he advises. “Start now, learn as you go, and always focus on providing value.” That philosophy, grounded in experience and resilience, has helped him build multiple successful ventures from the ground up.

For anyone considering a leap into entrepreneurship, especially in high-demand sectors like real estate or HVAC, Mickey’s story underscores the importance of adaptability, clear priorities, and giving back. As cities like London continue to push for smarter, more efficient home systems, Mickey’s blueprint is both timely and relevant.
