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.

New Tool Lets Anyone See the Cost and Carbon Impact of Home Design Choices - Instantly
Australian-developed Powerhaus App transforms energy-efficient home design from confusing to clear, helping the world build smarter, faster.

Across the globe, homeowners and designers are grappling with one big question: What’s the smartest way to make my home more energy-efficient — and is it worth it? Now, a team from Australia has launched the Powerhaus App, the world’s first public tool that shows — in real time — how changes to your home design affect energy use, carbon emissions and future power bills.

Fresh off its win for Most Innovative Solution – Environment and Energy Efficiency at the 2025 Australian Proptech Awards, the Powerhaus App is already being recognised as a breakthrough in sustainable housing technology.

Unlike traditional energy ratings, which provide a single score after plans are finalised, the Powerhaus App gives live feedback while you’re designing — helping you avoid expensive mistakes and make confident, low-carbon choices from day one. It’s a game-changer for anyone involved in green building — offering real-time feedback, not just compliance paperwork.

“People are being asked to make high-stakes energy decisions with low-quality information,” says Andrew Pickard, founder of Powerhaus Engineering. “We built the app so anyone — whether you’re a homeowner or a design professional — can see what actually works, and what it will save.”

Built on over 10 years of energy modelling and backed by Australian climate data, the app helps users:

  • Compare design choices, in real time
  • See how windows, insulation, solar and systems affect energy use
  • Understand carbon impact and daily ‘net zero’ performance
  • Prioritise upgrades by return on investment — not just intuition

Originally developed for internal consulting use, the app is now available for anyone to purchase directly via powerhaus.app. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an older one, it provides the clarity and confidence needed to design for a net zero future.

“Climate goals will be won or lost in how we design and upgrade our homes,” says Pickard. “This tool puts real impact in people’s hands — without needing a degree in building physics.”
