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.

Sister Act: Maryland Duo Debuts New Social Club App and Platform for Lovers of Books, Films, and Culture

By: Get News
Designed to bring together fans of specific titles, Phictly shines a spotlight on each story for the best book club experience

Phictly, an app and platform for book, film, and culture-lovers, announced that it has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the completion of its technology. Founded by sisters and book lovers Nyleena Aiken and Nyla Roberts, Phictly aims to transform the online book club experience by focusing on individual titles and fostering genuine connections through shared interests.

The story of Phictly is rooted in the personal experiences of its founders, both mothers to young sons, who, like many in today's economy, have faced professional challenges. Nyla Roberts navigated a difficult job market, unable to secure a full-time graphic design position despite years of searching and chose to invest her creativity in building Phictly and freelance work. Meanwhile, Nyleena Aiken, a IT Consultant witnessing layoffs in the IT industry, decided to join forces with Nyla to pursue their shared dream. "We grew up in a lower-income household, and along with our other siblings, we constantly dreamt of creating our own businesses and inventions, so I am thrilled to bring this idea which is based on something we both love to life with my sister,” Nyla shared.

Born from a passion for storytelling and a desire to create meaningful communities, Phictly addresses common frustrations faced by book club participants—such as ghosted discussions and off-topic themes. The app allows users to create clubs dedicated to specific stories, choose their pace and preferences, and invite friends or fellow enthusiasts to join in engaging discussions.

Phictly founders tapped into their creative efforts, designing a platform that facilitates a more engaging virtual book club experience. "Our premise is that people want to gather online to discuss a particular title that they are excited about right now," explained co-founder Nyleena Aiken. "Phictly marks the beginning of a new chapter where people connect through stories, creating a quality community based on genuine interests."

When people plan to dive into their next book or show, the Phictly platform helps them create a club based on that single title, custom-paced to their preferences, transforming their love for stories into an engaging social experience. As users log into Phictly, they choose a book, movie, or show. Next, they select the pace or timeline for the club, followed by selecting preferences and tags, and finally, they invite friends or other Phictly users to join in on the fun.

The founders have already collaborated with developers, crafted detailed technical specifications to build the app, and launched targeted marketing campaigns which have gained Phictly over 8,000 social media followers across all platforms. As Phictly moves towards completion through crowdfunding, backers are rewarded with exclusive perks such as the Founding Member Badge, showcasing their books and bookish businesses, and VIP experiences. This initiative reflects the commitment of Aiken and Roberts to creating a new realm for book and film aficionados to unite and enrich their discussions.
