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 Global Ad Exec to CEO: Chris Macaulay’s Journey to Leading Killara Outdoors

From Global Ad Exec to CEO: Chris Macaulay’s Journey to Leading Killara Outdoors

Before Chris Macaulay, CEO of Killara Outdoors, began scaling outdoor brands across the U.S. and Asia, he was shaping global marketing campaigns for Fortune 500 clients. His transition from agency life to operational leadership wasn’t just a career change — it was a complete shift in philosophy.

“We were getting paid for time, not outcomes,” Macaulay recalls. “I wanted skin in the game. I wanted to build something tangible.”

In his blog The Evolution of a CEO: How Chris Macaulay Transitioned from Global Advertising to Outdoor Industry Leadership, Macaulay reveals the personal and professional leap he made in 2023 — stepping away from creative briefs and boardrooms to lead one of the fastest-growing holding companies in the outdoor industry.

That leap began with more than a job title change. It required a crash course in logistics, supply chain, finance, and team development — skills rarely honed inside a marketing firm.

“I knew brand and marketing,” Macaulay writes. “But I had to learn how to run warehouses, manage inventory, lead vendor ops, and build P&Ls. So I surrounded myself with experts and got to work.”

Today, Killara Outdoors operates a growing portfolio of brands with team members spread across Fort Worth, Boulder, and Hong Kong. But according to Macaulay, the real growth came from applying a student’s mindset to every corner of the business.

“You can’t just be a vision guy,” he says. “You have to be in the trenches. That’s how you earn trust and build companies that last.”

That balance — between humility and high standards — now defines Killara’s culture. From legacy fishing brands to emerging lifestyle ventures, the company focuses on scaling businesses without compromising the soul that made them great in the first place.

“We’re not flipping brands,” Macaulay says. “We’re stewarding them for the long haul.”
