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.

Building a Resilient Agrifood System: 2025 World Agrifood Innovation Conference Opens in Beijing

BEIJING, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On October 13, the 2025 World Agrifood Innovation Conference (WAFI 2025) opened in Pinggu District, Beijing. Nearly 800 scientists, entrepreneurs, and experts from over 90 countries and regions gathered to discuss the development of a resilient agrifood system, exploring solutions to global challenges and pathways for sustainable growth under key themes such as South-South cooperation, protected agriculture, controlled-environment agriculture, and smart livestock farming.

Experts at the conference emphasized that the global agrifood system is facing mounting pressures from intensifying climate change, geopolitical instability, and continuous population growth. Building a secure and stable resilient agrifood system is essential for global food security and the sustainable development of humanity.

Statistics show that China feeds nearly 20% of the world's population with only about 9% of the world's arable land and 6% of its freshwater resources. Scientific and technological innovation has become a critical driver of agricultural advancement. In recent years, regions across China have leveraged their unique resource endowments and technological strengths to promote ecological, intelligent, and industrial transformation in agriculture through diverse approaches -- including industry-academia-research collaboration, advanced breeding technologies, smart cultivation, specialty industry development, and ecological improvement.

"Innovation in science and technology is key to implementing the holistic food concept and building a resilient agrifood system," said Zhong Denghua, Party Secretary of China Agricultural University. "China continues to advance scientific research, talent development, and the commercialization of agricultural technologies, injecting strong momentum into the modernization of its agriculture and contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to global agrifood resilience."

At the opening ceremony, several landmark initiatives were unveiled, including the upgraded Phase 2.0 development plan for Beijing's "Agricultural Zhongguancun" Core Zone and China Agricultural University's Shennong Large Model 3.0.

"As the core zone of Beijing's 'Agricultural Zhongguancun,' Pinggu has consistently prioritized scientific and technological innovation as its central driving force,"said Peng Shi, Deputy Mayor of Pinggu District, Beijing. "We have achieved a series of notable outcomes in synthetic biology, key technology transfer, and enterprise clustering." To date, Pinggu has attracted major agrifood enterprises such as Beijing Capital Agribusiness & Foods Group, Bayer, and Molbreeding; established 117 "Doctor Farms"; drawn in 411 agricultural experts; and facilitated the application of more than 100 scientific and technological achievements.

International participants expressed their eagerness to deepen and broaden collaboration with Chinese counterparts in areas such as modern seed industry, smart agriculture, intelligent agricultural equipment, and industry-academia integration, aiming to jointly enhance global food security and co-create a resilient future for the agrifood system.

The conference is co-hosted by China Agricultural University, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Pinggu District People's Government of Beijing Municipality, and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). It will run through October 15.
