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.

OxyCon 2025 Asks Can We Keep the Internet Open?

Amidst the threats to open access, experts discuss potential solutions

Vilnius, Lithuania, October 16, 2025 — Growing tensions between the critical need for public web data and the increasing barriers to its access are changing the way we understand the open internet. This was the dominant topic at the latest edition of OxyCon, the premier conference for the public web data collection industry. Organized by Oxylabs, a leading web intelligence collection platform, the hybrid event attracted 4000 registrations to watch online, with topics covering all aspects of public web data gathering.

With 16 experts speaking in panels or giving presentations on stage and more than 200 participating on site, OxyCon provided a versatile look at the interconnected web scraping and AI industries. On-demand OxyCon videos are now available for free on the official website.

The major theme emerging at the conference was the tensions that threaten the future of open access to public information. While the opening market overview highlighted the growing demand for AI training data and real-time data access, as well as the need for public data to combat hybrid threats, the talks soon shifted to the challenges of fulfilling these needs.

"Walls are going up across the open web, and AI teams are among the first to feel it. However, while many restrictions are primarily being put in place to lock content away from AI companies, closing off the web will equally affect everyone in need of public data – from traditional businesses, to the public sector, and everyday users," said Julius Černiauskas, the CEO of Oxylabs, after the conference.

The experts at OxyCon discussed technological and legal aspects of these threats to open access. The growing usage and sophistication of anti-bot measures were singled out as the main technological threat. While experts predict that even more advanced blocking measures will emerge in the coming years, OxyCon attendees also discussed potential solutions and the role of AI in next-generation web data extraction.

On the legal front, panelists highlighted the irony of major data-scraping companies using the legal frameworks to prevent others from accessing their public data. The panel's consensus emphasized the need to find a fair balance in regulation that addresses the data demands of building responsible AI models while also providing incentives to continuously create content.

From the opening talk to the concluding discussion, OxyCon speakers reaffirmed two crucial points. Firstly, open access to data is as necessary as ever in the age of AI. Secondly, keeping this access open requires what can be summarized in the words of Fred de Villamil, Chief Technology Officer at NielsenIQ Digital Shelf. In his talk, de Villamil underscored that overcoming the obstacles to scraping requires the right people, the right technology, and the right processes.
