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.

Leadership behaviors drive innovation at the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in New York, Chicago, Texas, and the Bay Area

Oakland, Calif., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There’s no denying that location matters when it comes to innovation. But there’s more to the story. 

If we look closer at companies in innovative regions, when all else is equal, a trend emerges. It’s leadership, not industry or products, that drives innovation and lands companies on the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces™ in New York, Chicago, Texas, and the Bay Area lists.  

These workplaces generate more high-quality ideas, implement them faster, and achieve greater agility than typical workplaces. They also experience 52% more discretionary effort and 38% greater agility than typical workplaces. 

“People don’t work harder or faster because they live in Silicon Valley or New York City,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work®. “Employees aren’t more innovative or productive by proxy. Leaders make their employees feel valued and empowered to contribute new ideas. They listen to voices beyond their executive team and celebrate trying new things while continuously learning. That’s what drives innovation and makes your business profitable — not your zip code.” 

Leaders at the winning workplaces keep employees informed, offer development opportunities, provide clear organizational direction, and celebrate trying new things. That creates innovative cultures where employees believe their work matters and have confidence in their executive team — top drivers of meaningful innovation opportunities, according to Great Place To Work research.  

It’s why an enormous 120% more employees at these workplaces regularly develop new and better ways of doing business compared with employees at typical workplaces. That results in money in the door. Companies with innovative cultures, where all voices are heard, experience 5.5 times the revenue growth compared with less innovative companies. 

What are leaders doing to create these innovative cultures with high levels of profitability, productivity, and efficiency? Practicing the nine high-trust leadership behaviors, including speaking, developing, inspiring, and celebrating.
