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.

Two Brothers Journey Home: Burying a mother, known as a Frog. Confronting a Tumultuous Past. Embracing Change, and Family Secrets Unraveled

Charleston, SC, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In 1982, Boyd Chatham, a newly graduated herpetologist, picks up his brother Tag from the Salem Penitentiary in his MGB, license plate RNPRERN. They embark on an emotionally charged journey to Sommerset Memorial Cemetery to bury their mother Charlotte, who they refer to as, the Frog. The brothers rekindle bonds with their Indigenous step siblings as they reflect on their difficult childhood and how they had planned two murders as acts of revenge. As he drives, Boyd is haunted by memories of their older brother Myles, murdered a decade earlier, with the quirky projectionist Newt narrating these recollections in Boyd’s cranium. Their road trip is filled with unexpected encounters, including a waitress named Jacqueline wearing a nametag reading Angel, and a Coast Guard team that connects them to their stepbrother's military past.

On their journey home, they navigate to a restaurant recommended by their stepsister Fat, where they meet a grizzled Chief Petty Officer who becomes emotional upon realizing that he served in Vietnam with their step brother, Jimmy. The brothers help old friends at a traffic accident scene. The friends had saved Boyd from drowning in 1976 as he was trying to kill Myles’s killer. They encounter xenophobic signs regarding the sawmill closure, reminding them that they have enemies and their enemies have friends. At the cemetery, they meet familiar faces, including their former Child Protective Services worker, now the director, a wise shaman, and their lawyer nicknamed Spock. The burial meeting is tense but concludes with plans for a service at Sommer Community Church with the new pastor as the officiant. As they confront their childhood traumas, Boyd and Tag must also bless a newly carved canoe and ensure Charlotte's final resting place is honored, all while heeding the commands of the snipe, of their past, in The Snipe’s Screech.

The Snipe’s Screech is available for purchase online at Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, Bookshop, Ingram Books, and BarnesandNoble.com. The eBooks are available for purchase through Kindle, Apple Books, and more.
