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.

When the Forest Found Its Voice – The Cricket and the Frog Celebrates Music, Friendship, and Bravery


Maryland Heights, Missouri – In a world where animals sing, flutter, hoot, and hiss, a cricket with a violin and a frog with a dream create something unforgettable. The Cricket and the Frog (available now on Amazon), a heartwarming children’s book by Donald C. Robertson Sr., invites readers into a woodland symphony of music, courage, and unlikely friendships.

At the heart of the story is Marvin, a frog who longs to conduct a grand orchestra. His search for sound leads him to Dana, a cricket whose solo performances echo through the night. Together, they bring together the forest’s most unique voices—owls, bats, raccoons, nightjars, and even a gentle skunk—to form a one-of-a-kind choir.

But the magic of music is threatened by danger lurking in the shadows. Willie, a hungry and cunning coyote, sees the concert not as a performance but as a feast. What unfolds is a tale of quick thinking, unity, and the power of community. When every voice comes together, even the darkest threat can be turned away.

The story ends not just with applause, but with transformation. A villain becomes a friend. An orchestra becomes a family. And a dream becomes something more.

Filled with bright scenes, endearing characters, and moments of laughter and suspense, The Cricket and the Frog offers more than just entertainment. It reflects the strength found in diversity, the importance of believing in one’s gifts, and the beauty of redemption. Parents, teachers, and young readers alike will find joy in this uplifting woodland adventure. Copies are available through Amazon.
