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.

Pennsylvania Skill, powered by Pace-O-Matic, congratulates Parx Casino, others on breaking records with sports betting offerings

HARRISBURG, Dec. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It’s a merry time of year for Parx Casino and others as they see their revenue numbers from sports wagering soar to the $900 million threshold.

Pennsylvania Skill, which operates legal skill games in the Commonwealth, congratulated the entities on breaking records. This is particularly the case for Parx Casino, which has a big reason to be jolly this season.

The casino drove revenue of $756,756 from in-person wagers and $252,573 through online wagers, for a total of $1 million. This is on top of its bricks-and-mortar and online casino revenue. The numbers show the casino is not impacted by skill games. Yet, Parx spends its time trying to crush small businesses, volunteer fire companies and veterans’ groups for having legal skill games in their locations. These electronic games can be won every time with skill and patience.

 “The Pennsylvania casino industry, including Parx Casino, continues to break revenue records, which we applaud, but sadly that isn’t enough for the gaming giants,” said Mike Barley, spokesman for Pennsylvania Skill. “They continue to attack small restaurant and bar owners and fraternal groups for wanting the opportunity to have a few skill games that provide much-needed supplemental revenue. Maybe, this time, the big guys can allow the little guys a small victory. Especially one that is allowing them to hang on during difficult economic times.”

Many small businesses and organizations rely on the revenue provided by skill games to pay bills and keep their doors open. Barley added that he hopes there is a point when the casino industry understands that their record-breaking revenues are not being impacted by the supplemental revenue being generated by Pennsylvania small businesses and fraternal clubs. 

Casinos also oppose commonsense legislation sponsored by state Sen. Gene Yaw that will regulate and further tax skill games. Supporters of the bill want to see it pass in 2024, providing $300 million in taxes for the state coffers in the first year alone. 

Barley concluded, “Time and time again, the casino industry has repeated the lie that the businesses and clubs involved with skill gaming don’t want to be taxed and regulated. The truth is that the only thing standing between skill games being taxed and regulated is the influence of big casinos. We are urging the legislature to act and pass commonsense regulations that will support small businesses, fraternal clubs, and the commonwealth.”
