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.

CBIZ Releases Mid-Market Pulse Report: Business Leaders Pause Growth Plans to Focus on Cost Management Amid Market Uncertainty

Cleveland, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBIZ, Inc., a leading national professional services advisor, today announced the release of its latest 2025 Mid-Market Pulse, a quarterly report capturing the perspectives of mid-market business leaders across the U.S.

The report, built from 1,500 survey responses from clients and CBIZ advisors, highlights how middle-market companies are adapting to rising costs, regulatory shifts, talent shortages, and global trade uncertainty.

While optimism is varied, the findings reveal that leaders are focusing on cost control, operational resilience, and strategic planning to position themselves for long-term growth.

"Middle-market companies are navigating a convergence of uncertainty and pressures, from cost inflation to regulatory and policy shifts," said Jerry Grisko, President and CEO of CBIZ. "The Mid-Market Pulse provides a timely, data-driven view of these challenges and shows how leaders are responding by focusing on cost discipline, scenario planning, and workforce strategies such as compensation and staffing models."

Key Findings from the Q2 2025 Mid-Market Pulse:

  1. Business Sentiment is Uneven: 42% of respondents report diminished or no optimism about business conditions, while just 38% express optimism.
  2. Growth Plans on Hold: Many organizations are delaying capital investments, hiring, and expansion efforts in favor of cost control and financial discipline.
  3. Trade and Tariffs Create Headwinds: 46% of leaders cited tariffs and trade policy as a top concern, particularly in construction, healthcare, and manufacturing.
  4. Regulatory Shifts Bring Uncertainty: Opinions on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" are evenly split, with many respondents expressing confusion about its potential impact.
  5. Labor Market Pressures Persist: Talent shortages remain challenging across industries, especially in IT, cybersecurity, and skilled trades.

Why It Matters

The middle market, often described as the engine of the U.S. economy, employs millions and drives innovation across industries. The CBIZ Mid-Market Pulse provides leaders with actionable insights to benchmark against peers and adapt strategies in real time.
