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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

Reflections from the Rocking Chair: A Heartfelt Look at Joe Morris’ Potpourri of Life Lessons

Joe Morris’ Grandpa’s Hodgepodge and Potpourri is a delightful stroll through the mind of a thoughtful, humorous, and deeply reflective septuagenarian. This isn’t your typical memoir—it’s a charming collection of essays, musings, anecdotes, quotes, sports trivia, and philosophical reflections that together form a literary scrapbook of a life well-observed and richly experienced.

Structured in a way that welcomes non-linear reading, this book invites readers to dive in at any chapter and emerge with a nugget of wisdom, a burst of laughter, or a moment of shared nostalgia. Morris writes that he's having a fireside chat with his readers, balancing light-hearted humor with soul-stirring insight.

A major strength of the book lies in its variety. One page may have you reflecting on the aging process and the comfort zones we rarely question; the next, you’re laughing at a whimsical memory involving gumballs or an aching back. Then, you’re reading a well-phrased quote on faith, only to be swept into a nostalgic breakdown of sports stats that reads more like a love letter to simpler times.

Morris has a knack for highlighting life’s minutiae and elevating them to moments of meaning. His reflections on religion, tradition, and growing older never come across as preachy or didactic. Instead, they carry the authenticity of lived experience—something any reader, especially seniors and those in mid-life, will appreciate deeply.

This book is particularly resonant for retirees, fathers, and grandfathers who will see themselves reflected in Joe’s words. But its appeal stretches beyond age groups. Adults of any generation will find something valuable in its pages—whether it’s the timeless sports nostalgia, the quotes worth underlining, or the gentle reminder that life doesn’t always need to be understood to be enjoyed.

Perfect as a bedside companion or coffee table conversation-starter, Grandpa’s Hodgepodge and Potpourri doesn’t demand to be read cover to cover—it encourages you to savor it. Its tone is simultaneously humble and wise, irreverent and heartfelt.

In a world that often moves too fast, Joe Morris offers something rare: a moment to slow down, to chuckle, to remember, and to reconnect with the simple joys of being human.
