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.

Jackson State University and Getty Images celebrate the storied history of the HBCU's homecoming with new photography exhibit

JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jackson State University (JSU) and Getty Images (NYSE: GETY), a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace, are preserving history with the launch of a new photo exhibition, "A JSU Homecoming Legacy: Connecting the Past to the Future." The exhibit highlights and captures the spirit of JSU's homecoming from the university's early years until the present day through 30 rarely seen images from JSU's Archives, newly digitized through Getty Images' Photo Archive Grants Program for HBCUs.

The exhibition, which aligns with JSU's 2023 homecoming theme, "Thee Legacy Continues," will open to the public Wednesday, Oct. 11, through Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Johnson Hall Art Gallery on the university's main campus. The exhibit is closed on weekends.

"Jackson State University has a tremendous Tiger legacy, and we are very excited to collaborate with Getty Images on the release of this exhibit and continuing to build upon the foundations established around homecoming with students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and all included in the history of our HBCU," said Locord Wilson, Ph.D., interim dean of libraries, JSU H.T. Sampson Library, which houses the university's archives. 

The exhibit was curated by a diverse and intergenerational group of staff and administrators from JSU and Getty Images, who believe in harnessing the power of photographic storytelling to show the rich history of the nation's HBCUs. The images are also informed by hundreds of years of Mississippi movements and moments that underscore what homecoming and JSU mean to the greater community.

The exhibition is also an extension of Jackson State's selection last year as one of four recipients to receive Getty Images Photo Archives Grant for HBCUs made possible by the Getty Family and the philanthropic organization Stand Together. The program commits $500,000 to digitize HBCU photographic archives and has supported the digitization, metadata and keywording for over 5,000 archival photographs from JSU's library. 

"We are proud to work with JSU and all other HBCUs to increase access to unique imagery and bring awareness to untold stories," said Cassandra Illidge, vice president of global content partnerships at Getty Images. "A single photo can encompass a lifetime of experiences that help shape the world. This exhibition is a testament to the power of visual storytelling, collaboration, respect, and a celebration of the impact of HBCU's history for generations to come."

Those who attend the exhibit will receive a dose of nostalgia by reveling in the evolution of JSU homecomings, from black and white photos of the university's early football teams and cheerleaders to vibrant images of the Sonic Boom of the South and Prancing J-Settes. One may even catch a glimpse of themselves in afros and bell bottoms. All the images are designed to tell a robust story of the history and thrill of Jackson State homecomings. 

Guests can purchase the imagery on display in the gallery from an onsite brochure for direct shipping to their location of choice via photos.com.

Committee members Brittany Myburgh, Ph.D., assistant professor of art history in the Department of Art & Theatre, and Mark Geil, interim chair and associate professor in the Department of Art & Theatre, played a crucial part in helping to select the photos for installation in the exhibit, along with JSU archivist Darlita Ballard, Getty Images curator Shawn Waldron and others. 

"The fact that the Getty Images program has supported our students in learning the archival skills they need to preserve and tell this history is truly significant. Our students are the next generation of archivists and historians who will tell the story of Jackson State University and continue this legacy," said Myburgh. "To tell the story of Jackson State University in one exhibit is no small task, but these images truly capture the milestones of this HBCU and the joy and celebration of homecoming."
