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.

Texas Surety Agents Prioritize Speed, Simplicity, and Trust – New Study Reveals Why More Are Choosing Avla

By: Get News

HOUSTON - July 15, 2025 - A recent qualitative study conducted by Madison Research has revealed the top factors influencing Texas-based surety bond agents when selecting an insurance provider. The findings show that speed of response is the number one priority in today’s competitive market.

“In this business, even a one-hour delay can mean losing a construction contract,” said one of the insurance agents interviewed.

Alongside speed, agents cited the ease of doing business, the responsiveness of underwriters, and the quality of customer service as critical differentiators. While financial strength and credibility remain important, these are often assumed when a broker has previous positive experience with the insurer.

In response to this evolving demand, Avla has introduced Avla Accelerated, a fast-track bonding program tailored for the Texas market. This program delivers approvals in as fast as 30 minutes for contracts up to $1.5 million, providing brokers with the agility they need to stay ahead.

But it’s not just about how the program is designed to gather the right information quickly — it’s also about how Avla’s team is trained to prioritize service and speed over bureaucracy. This service-first mindset empowers agents to deliver results faster to their clients, without getting lost in unnecessary paperwork.

“Most tenured companies can best be described as caretakers, while Avla’s execs, underwriters, and staff are focused on driving a result,” said L. Ray Pitts Jr., President of Pitts Birdsong. “When an Avla bond can be used, the underwriters and support staff do an excellent job working to find solutions.”

Marie Guajardo, Partner at SWMBE Surety Bonding Agency, added: “Working with Avla has been a wonderful experience. Their team moves fast — no endless paperwork or waiting weeks for approvals. With just a few key details, our clients get what they need, often within the same day.”
