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 Children’s Book CRAWFISH ESTHER FAYE Inspires Courage and Creativity in the Face of Adversity

Charleston, SC, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grant Michael Cassidy and Violet Rae Stander, two Louisiana-based creators, have teamed up to share a heartwarming children’s story on overcoming adversity. The beautifully illustrated picture book set in Louisiana’s Bayou Country, “Crawfish Esther Faye” tells the story of a young crawfish with learning difficulties who is struggling in school and in need of a confidence boost. Growing up in "Sportsman’s Paradise", Cassidy drew inspiration from his childhood home while Stander’s illustrations reflect her late grandfather Blaine Kern Sr.’s joie de vivre.   

Like many children who struggle to fit into traditional classroom molds, the story’s main character, Esther Faye, is feeling overwhelmed with her schoolwork, and her anxiety is only compounded by a lack of empathy from her peers, particularly an unkind classmate’s teasing. But after some helpful advice from her mother, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden talents that lead to a personal transformation. “The book is about persistence and overcoming adversity while on the road to discovering one’s true talents,” Cassidy stated. “With her self-esteem broken, it is by cultivating her gifts that Esther Faye gains the confidence necessary to triumph with humility and grace.” Appealing to children aged five to eight, the book is designed to be read aloud at home and in classrooms.  

“Crawfish Esther Faye” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.  

About the Author: 

Grant Michael Cassidy grew up in the northern region of Louisiana known as “Sportsman’s Paradise.” The back door of his childhood home opened to a world of endless pine thickets and cypress swamps, ideal for building treetop forts from scrap wood and bike ramps from mounds of dried gumbo mud. Embracing his youthfulness and humor, he found a passion in storytelling with a pen. He hopes that the story of “Crawfish Esther Faye” will encourage individuals to discover and share their unique talents with the world. 

About the Illustrator: 

Violet Rae Stander comes from a long line of creative thinkers and is the daughter of two professional New Orleans artists. Her late grandfather, Blaine Kern Sr., is known as “Mr. Mardi Gras” for his incredible artistic contributions to Carnival parades, and his work continues to inspire her. Her childhood dreams revolved around emulating her family’s talent. Through her illustrations, she aims to spark creativity in young readers, much like her favorite childhood picture books did for her.
