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.

"Call Me Mom" by Dr. Colton King Sheds Light on Childhood Trauma Amid Parental Gender Transition

In a time of increasing conversation around gender identity and family dynamics, Dr. Colton King brings a bold and unflinching perspective to the forefront with his new memoir, Call Me Mom: A Child’s Refusal to Bend the Truth. This courageous and heartfelt account reveals what it’s like to grow up as a child whose father transitions into a woman—and what that journey means for the emotional and psychological development of a child navigating love, loyalty, and confusion.

Set in the 1990s, a period when transgender visibility was nearly nonexistent, Call Me Mom chronicles King’s experience of growing up in a home torn by change, societal pressure, and legal battles. His story begins in a picture-perfect suburban neighborhood and rapidly unravels as his father announces a desire to be identified as a woman. Through court-ordered therapy, shifting schools, and public embarrassment, young Colton wrestles with one life-defining question: What does it mean to still love your parent when their identity no longer fits the one you knew?

“Too often, children are told to accept everything without the space to feel their own feelings,” said Dr. King. “This book is not about attacking identity—it’s about protecting the child’s experience in the process.”

Dr. King offers not just a memoir, but a call for awareness. Call Me Mom is especially valuable for young readers, educators, counselors, and families undergoing similar transitions. It explores themes of parental estrangement, mental health, emotional survival, and the long-lasting impact of being silenced as a child.

With court transcripts, raw memory, and hard-won reflections, King creates a narrative that demands attention, not to sensationalize, but to humanize. The book provides insight into the unintended consequences of identity transformations on children who are often left without adequate support or explanation.

Call Me Mom is not a political statement. It is a deeply human one. Dr. King speaks to those who feel unheard and unseen, offering a powerful message: You are not alone, and your story matters.
