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.

SILENT MUSHROOMS: A Provocative Texas Crime Thriller with a Disabled—And Deeply Flawed—Lead

Charleston, SC, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A riveting new Texas-based crime thriller launches from Palmetto Publishing, featuring political scandals, government corruption, and a man with a deeply flawed past caught in the crossfire. 

Silent Mushrooms stars Tomas Peapers, a man diagnosed with nonverbal Asperger’s whose voyeuristic tendencies have frequently put him on the wrong side of the law. When a savage crime takes place—the brutal murder of three women in their home—Peapers is the perfect scapegoat for hiding secrets the powerful want buried, and the judge sentences him to death row.

But when Texas Ranger Jackie Morris returns from an assignment in Costa Rica after losing the love of her life, she soon comes across the Peapers case—and red flags begin to flare. Now in a new role as Chief of Detectives for Harris County and battling overwhelming grief, Morris is asked by Houston mayor Sandy Waters to look deeper into the case. As she does, she uncovers corruption at the highest levels of government. As the humanitarian organization and legal advocacy group the Justice Project works to release Peapers, Morris may have another chance to track down the real killer—if the pair can find a way to communicate.

Following a trail of lies and debauchery from Texas to Costa Rica, the two will soon be pitted against political giants, corporate collusion, and dark plans for the state they call home. Silent Mushrooms is the unfolding story of a conspiracy more sinister than its characters imagine, a bleak and gritty psychological drama featuring a damaged hero working side-by-side with a morally compromised protagonist.

This book by author Gerald Thompson is a thriller made for fans who aren’t afraid of the dark corners of the human soul. Blending courtroom drama, political intrigue, and a relentless pursuit of justice, it is a story about how hope comes from unlikely places—a powerful meditation on redemption and human complexity in the face of corruption.

Silent Mushrooms 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.
