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.

HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding Honors 2025 Class of Master Shipbuilders

By: via GlobeNewswire

PASCAGOULA, Miss., June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HIl's (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division honored the 2025 class of master shipbuilders, an elite group of employees who have dedicated 40 years of continuous service to the company, during a special ceremony held at the shipyard June 12. Each of these shipbuilders have committed four decades to building the nation's most advanced naval ships, supporting national security, and mentoring the next generation of shipbuilders.

“Reaching 40 years of service is an extraordinary milestone and we are proud to honor these master shipbuilders for their decades of service, leadership and loyalty to Ingalls Shipbuilding," said Brian Blanchette, president of Ingalls Shipbuilding. “Their dedication has shaped not only our country’s Navy fleet, but our workforce, our communities and our shipyard culture."

A highlight of the ceremony was the debut of a tribute video featuring several master shipbuilders. The video captured their personal stories, career highlights, and a shared purpose in building ships that safeguard America's interests around the world.

Master shipbuilder Larry Stevens, who began his career as a structural welder apprentice in 1985, reflected on the moment he welded the sponsor initials for the future USS Pittsburgh (LPD 31) keel ceremony while his daughter, who also works at Ingalls, watched from the audience. “That moment meant a lot to me to have my daughter there,” he said. “It’s an honor to be a master shipbuilder, and I hope I’ve shed some light for the younger generation and that they will take the torch and run with it.”

Denise Quave, another master shipbuilder, who has spent her 40-year career in the planning yard, shared, “Ingalls has been good to me, and I remind people that this team is raising families above and beyond the mission of the shipyard itself.”

That passion and pride in the Ingalls mission is echoed by shipbuilders like Tony Taylor, who said, “Ingalls Shipbuilding is one of the best companies a person can work for. I’m proud of our legacy and heritage, and proud to help make sure our nation gets what it needs to do its job.”

Master shipbuilders represent the highest level of skill, dedication and leadership and Ingalls Shipbuilding extends its congratulations and gratitude to this year’s master shipbuilders for their 40 years of exemplary service.
