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.

Beyond the Scoreboard: How Youth Sports at the Y Build Confidence, Character and Lifelong Teammates

CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the YMCA, youth sports are about more than just the final score. They're about learning to pass the ball, and the spotlight. They're about bouncing back after a loss, encouraging teammates, and building confidence that carries far beyond the field or court.

As youth mental health and social disconnection remain top concerns for families nationwide, the YMCA is redefining what it means to play: less pressure, more play. Fewer drills, more teamwork. And always, more belonging.

“Parents tell us again and again—they want their kids to move, make friends, and feel part of something,” said Meredith Griffin, Director of Sports and Competitive Events Strategy at YMCA of the USA. “Our youth sports programs do just that. We’re focused on nurturing the whole child, not just the athlete.”

YMCA youth sports are designed to meet kids where they are—whether they’re picking up a soccer ball for the first time or coming back for their fifth season of basketball. With a mission rooted in inclusion and youth development, the YMCA offers sports leagues, clinics, and skill-building programs that are accessible and welcoming to all skill levels, backgrounds, and abilities.

Character-Driven Coaching: YMCA coaches are mentors who model empathy, teamwork, and resilience, not just playbooks and drills.

Winning Friendships: Many YMCA athletes say the best part of sports is meeting new friends and feeling like part of a team.

Physical + Mental Health: With screen time and sedentary habits on the rise, youth sports offer a fun, active, and healthy outlet that supports both body and mind. Research shows that adolescents who play youth sports are 8x more likely to be active at age 24 than those who do not.

Everyone Plays: The Y’s “all-play” philosophy ensures that every child gets time on the field or court, with a chance to grow.

Each year, the YMCA serves over 1 million children and teens through youth sports programs across the country. From small towns to big cities, YMCAs are building stronger kids—and stronger communities—through play.

Enrollment for fall and winter sports programs is opening now at local YMCAs nationwide. Parents can visit ymca.org/find-your-y to find programs near them and register today.
