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.

Wreaths Across America Executive Director Honored with Colonel Roger H.C. Donlon Patriot Award

COLUMBIA FALLS, Maine and KANSAS CITY, Kan., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wreaths Across America (WAA) proudly announces that Karen Worcester, co-founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization, is the 2025 recipient of the Colonel Roger H.C. Donlon Patriot Award.

The award was presented Saturday, June 14, by the Association of the U.S. Army’s (AUSA) Greater Kansas City Chapter in recognition of Worcester’s ongoing support of veterans and families of the fallen through the organization’s yearlong mission to remember, honor and teach. Actor and philanthropist Gary Sinise—the inaugural recipient of the Col. Roger H.C. Donlon Patriot Award—presented the recognition during the chapter’s 2025 program, marking its 26th anniversary with AUSA and the 250th birthday of the United States Army.

The award honors Col. Donlon, the first American soldier of the Vietnam War and the first U.S. Army Special Forces warrior to receive the Medal of Honor. Donlon, who passed away in January, was a longtime volunteer and advocate for WAA and believed immensely in the program’s mission. Past recipients of the Col. Roger Donlon Patriot Award include Gary Sinise, Morrill Worcester, Sen. Bob Dole, Art Fillmore, Donnie Edwards, Holly Petraeus and John Holt. Award-winning actor and philanthropist Joe Mantegna was also recognized with Worcester on Saturday night.

“Wreaths Across America exemplifies a steadfast commitment to honoring our nation’s heroes,” said Norma Donlon, author, mother, grandmother and Col. Donlon’s wife of more than 50 years. “As we lay wreaths and speak the names of the fallen aloud, we do more than remember — we teach future generations the true meaning of freedom. Karen is the heartbeat behind this important mission, one that Roger believed deeply in, and I know he is looking down with pride.”

Immediately upon creating the 501(c)(3) Wreaths Across America in 2007, the board of directors chose Karen Dow Worcester for the position of Executive Director. As a volunteer and co-founder of the nonprofit, Karen tenaciously works on ways the organization can best remember the fallen and honor those who serve. Her passion is to teach our children that our freedoms are purchased at a great cost.

“This award means a great deal to me,” said Worcester. “Roger was a dear friend and mentor who taught me what true courage and service mean. Like me, he felt that teaching our nation’s children to love their country is the most important thing we can do, and I strive every day to help ensure that happens. I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year to support this mission.”

National Wreaths Across America Day will be held this year on Saturday, December 13, 2025. This free event is open to all, and the organization encourages community members to participate by volunteering locally or sponsoring a wreath for an American hero. For $17, you can help sponsor the year-long programs and resources Wreaths Across America provides.
