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.

Former Navy Officer’s New Book Critiques Military Justice System

Former Navy Officer’s New Book Critiques Military Justice System
‘Acts of Supremacy’ Exposes Flaws Through a Personal Lens

WASHINGTON, D.C. - September 4, 2025 - Walter Francis Fitzpatrick III, a retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander and Distinguished Military Graduate of the United States Naval Academy’s Class of 1975, has published a new book, Acts of Supremacy: A Cautionary Indictment of America’s Military Justice System. The work examines the structure of military courts and questions how well they align with constitutional principles.

Fitzpatrick began writing after his own court-martial heard in 1990, overseen by Rear Admiral John Bitoff. He maintains the process was flawed and politically charged, and the experience set him on a decades-long effort to research military law, tracing its roots back to Roman and British systems.

“The system doesn’t just bend the rules,” Fitzpatrick writes. “It operates outside them entirely.” The book compares his case to earlier examples, including the 1945 court-martial of USS Indianapolis Captain Charles McVay III, an episode still debated by historians.

Fitzpatrick also references legal precedents such as Dynes v. Hoover (1857), a Supreme Court ruling that confirmed civilian oversight of courts-martial. He argues that a stronger check on military authority is needed to ensure fairness.

“This isn’t about one officer or one isolated decision,” Fitzpatrick said. “It’s about a structure that shields itself from accountability.”

Although the book is part memoir, it also attempts a broader critique, raising questions about how discipline is enforced in the armed forces and what role civilian courts should play in this process. Readers will find both personal testimony and historical analysis, but Fitzpatrick leaves the conclusions to them.
