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.

Pennsylvania Skill, powered by Pace-O-Matic, applauds PA Gaming Control Board and casinos on record-breaking $6.4 billion revenue in 2024/2025 fiscal year

HARRISBURG, PA, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pace-O-Matic, the developer of legal Pennsylvania Skill games, congratulated the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) and state casinos on breaking all records with $6.4 billion in revenue during the 2024/2025 fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2025.  

The revenue comes from slot machines, table games, internet gaming, sports wagering, fantasy contests, and video gaming terminals (VGTs).

As the PGCB and casinos celebrate an unprecedented 12-month financial win, small businesses, veteran groups, volunteer fire companies, and other fraternal clubs in Pennsylvania are also praising the supplemental income they receive from operating legal skill games. Many would need to make difficult economic decisions without the revenue.

“Pennsylvania casinos continue to break revenue records, which is great news for the commonwealth,” said Mike Barley, chief public affairs officer for Pace-O-Matic (POM).  “It is also more than proof that no competition exists between casinos and the small businesses and fraternal organizations that provide skill games to their customers."

The state numbers show incredible growth in internet gambling in the state. While some casinos saw their brick-and-mortar revenue decline, it has clearly shifted to online gambling.

The 2024/2025 internet gaming revenue totaled $2.47 billion, a 27% increase from the revenue during the 2023/2024 fiscal year.

POM supports fair regulation and taxation of skill games, specifically through the passage of legislation sponsored by Sen. Gene Yaw. His Senate Bill 626 would generate $300 million in annual tax revenue. However, a competing proposal, Senate Bill 756 - supported by casinos - poses a real threat to small businesses and other groups that rely on skill game revenue. This bill imposes a crushing 40% effective tax, when including all fees, and introduces operational restrictions that could prevent many establishments from offering skill games. This would harm many businesses and nonprofit organizations and would mean a drop in the expected state tax revenue.

“Instead of trying to work with us, casinos have focused for years on unsuccessful legislation and legal challenges seeking an outright ban on skill games,” said Barley. “The worst part is that their efforts, if successful, will kill small businesses, American Legions, VFWs, Moose Lodges, and many other places that count on skill games.”

There is no question about the legality of the games. Several courts have ruled that Pennsylvania Skill games are legal, including a unanimous Commonwealth Court. The games also provide jobs in the state, in part because they are manufactured in Williamsport.  In addition, over 90% of the income they generate stays within the local economy or the state.
