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.

Alliance for Decision Education Welcomes Howard Marks to Board of Directors

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Alliance for Decision Education is pleased to announce the appointment of Howard Marks, co-chairman and co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management, to its Board of Directors. A highly respected figure in global finance and a celebrated author, Marks brings his extensive expertise in strategic decision-making and risk management to the Alliance, effective September 15, 2025.

Marks's appointment will significantly strengthen the board's strategic vision and provide invaluable perspective as the Alliance scales its mission. For over 30 years, Marks has been instrumental in shaping the investment strategy and corporate direction of Oaktree Capital, one of the world's leading investment management firms. His memos and three published books, which focus on the principles of critical thinking and decision-making, have long been a resource for many.

“If we can teach people to make high-quality decisions, they’ll have better lives and they’ll contribute to better communities, benefitting all of us,” Howard Marks said. “My career has been based on analyzing problems and making rational decisions. It’s fun and satisfying and it works. In addition, I’m all-in on educating the young. The Alliance for Decision Education can help by advancing both objectives."

Marks's experience and commitment to developing decision-making skills make him a natural fit for the Alliance's mission to reach all K–12 classrooms nationwide.

“I'm thrilled to welcome Howard Marks to the Alliance for Decision Education Board,” said Annie Duke, Alliance co-founder. “Howard's perspective on how cognitive biases and market psychology impact decision-making will be invaluable as we work to bring Decision Education to students everywhere. Having someone of his caliber and experience join our mission to improve how people think about choices and uncertainty is truly exciting for the future of Decision Education.”
