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.

Scott Barbrack Champions Bold Thinking and Risk-Taking for Career Growth

Scott Barbrack Champions Bold Thinking and Risk-Taking for Career Growth
Scott Barbrack, New York, US.
Veteran Finance Leader Encourages Professionals to Embrace Strategic Risks and Lifelong Learning

Scott Barbrack, a respected voice in the financial industry with over three decades of experience in interest rate derivatives, is using his recent feature interview (“Scott Barbrack: Big Ideas, Bold Moves, and a Career That Endures”) to encourage professionals—especially early in their careers—to think bigger, act bolder, and invest in their personal growth.

“I’ve always believed in taking well-calculated risks,” said Barbrack in the interview. “The biggest rewards come from the moves you almost didn’t make.”

Barbrack’s story spans from Wall Street trading desks to headline-making ventures like The Lion restaurant in NYC and his early investment in Pretty Green, a fashion brand started by Liam Gallagher. While his resume reflects business savvy, it’s his message of self-belief and resilience that’s striking a chord.

The Power of Strategic Risk

According to a 2024 report by LinkedIn, 58% of professionals say fear of failure holds them back from career change or advancement. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum lists adaptability and decision-making under pressure as two of the top 10 skills needed for the modern workforce.

Barbrack, who entered finance in 1988, argues that success in today’s fast-changing environment demands more than credentials.

“Whether it’s in finance, fashion, or restaurants, I’ve learned that hesitation can be worse than a mistake,” he said. “At some point, you have to trust your research, trust your gut, and go.”

Giving Back with Purpose

Barbrack also uses his platform to promote support for education and athletics, especially at institutions that shaped his own path—Xavier High School and Rutgers University. He recently dedicated a classroom in Rutgers’ Rodkin Academic Success Center in memory of his late father.

“Education and sports build the foundation for how you handle life,” Barbrack said. “They teach discipline, teamwork, and grit. Those are traits that last a lifetime.”

His philanthropy highlights a broader trend. According to a 2023 Giving USA report, alumni donations to higher education totaled over $12 billion, and studies show such gifts significantly improve access, academic performance, and graduation rates for underserved students.

Think Bigger, Act Braver

While Barbrack isn’t selling a product or running a campaign, his message is clear: success favors those who are willing to bet on themselves.

His advice to professionals?

  1. Take risks earlier. “You’ll regret the moves you didn’t make more than the ones that didn’t work out.”

  2. Support what shaped you. “Give back to the schools and programs that gave you your shot.”

  3. Keep learning. “Every industry is evolving. Staying curious is non-negotiable.”
