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.

Taravella's Hydro Turf Launches Educational Campaign on Hydroseeding vs. Traditional Sod Installation in Colorado
Taravella's Hydro Turf, Colorado's hydroseeding experts for over 40 years, today announced the launch of a new educational initiative aimed at helping Colorado Springs homeowners understand the key differences between professional and DIY sod installation.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - September 1, 2025 - Taravella's Hydro Turf, Colorado's hydroseeding experts for over 40 years, today announced the launch of a new educational initiative aimed at helping Colorado Springs homeowners understand the key differences between professional and DIY sod installation. This campaign addresses the growing interest among homeowners in upgrading their properties with beautiful, sustainable lawns while making informed decisions about installation methods.

The educational initiative highlights both the benefits and challenges of DIY sod installation compared to professional services, with a focus on the unique climate and soil conditions of Colorado Springs and surrounding areas.

"After four decades of serving Colorado homeowners, we've seen many DIY sod installation projects that ended up costing more in the long run due to improper techniques or materials," said John Taravella, Owner of Taravella's Hydro Turf. "Our goal is to provide honest, straightforward information that helps residents make the best decision for their specific situation, whether that means hiring professionals or taking the DIY approach with proper guidance."

The campaign outlines several critical factors homeowners should consider when deciding between professional and DIY sod installation:

  • Technical expertise: Professional installers understand soil preparation requirements specific to Colorado's semi-arid climate, including proper grading, soil amendments, and irrigation considerations

  • Cost comparison: While DIY installation may seem less expensive initially, the campaign provides a comprehensive cost analysis, including materials, equipment rental, and potential replacement costs

  • Time investment: Detailed breakdown of labor hours required for proper DIY installation versus the efficiency of professional services

  • Long-term lawn health: Information on how professional installation can affect establishment rates, drought resistance, and overall lawn longevity


As an alternative to traditional sod, Taravella's Hydro Turf also educates homeowners about hydroseeding options, which offer substantial cost savings while delivering comparable results. Their hydroseeding services start at $800 for a 5,000 square foot area, significantly less than traditional sod installation.

"Many Colorado Springs homeowners are surprised to learn that hydroseeding can deliver beautiful, customized lawns at a fraction of the cost of sod," Taravella added. "Our family has been perfecting these techniques for decades, specifically adapted to local conditions."

The educational initiative provides detailed information about ground preparation services, custom seed blends tailored to Colorado Springs' elevation and climate, as well as specialized applications for residential properties of all sizes.
