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.

New Leadership Book GROWING YOUR OWN Equips Small Business Owners With Proven Strategies for Team Development

Charleston, SC, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Rich Ashton started his first business venture decades ago, he was frustrated with the lack of guidance and support available to small business owners and managers. With so many get-rich-quick schemes, so much unhelpful self-help content, and canned books on leadership principles out there, Ashton wanted to create something specifically for local business owners and managers just starting in their careers. As a result of years of research and experience, his new book Growing Your Own was born.

Growing Your Own functions as a comprehensive guide for leaders to address the full range of challenges they may experience at various stages of their careers, and at different points in time during an entrepreneurial venture. Originally written as a series of biweekly blog posts for Ashton’s own leadership team, Growing Your Own compiles years of wisdom—advice birthed in the very trenches of a business’s day-to-day concerns—into a resource designed for maximum long-term impact. 

Today, Rich continues to run a successful HVAC and plumbing business, but his insight is applicable across dozens of industries. Growing Your Own focuses on bringing business leadership and management principles to a wider audience, relying on a collection of personal stories—successes and failures alike—to demonstrate sound business strategy. The book is packed with examples of how to invest in your team well, make good hiring decisions, and create systems that streamline your processes while keeping your employees satisfied with their productivity.

Perfect for small-business teams, Growing Your Own transforms entry-level managers into exceptional leaders who will make a difference for a lifetime. Go beyond competence to a confident, masterful understanding of how to take your career to the next level—don’t miss this exceptional resource and its proven strategies for success!

Growing Your Own: Common Sense Advice for Developing Leaders Within a Small Business is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. For more information about the author, please visit any of his social media platforms.
