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.

CCA Names Interop’s Stephen J. Zitnik Associate Member of the Year

FORT MYERS, Fla., Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Interop Technologies, a global leader in advanced mobile messaging technology, proudly announces that its Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Stephen J. Zitnik, has been named the recipient of the Neko Hamlett Associate Member of the Year Award by Competitive Carriers Association (CCA).

This prestigious award recognizes an associate member who has demonstrated exceptional service and dedication to CCA and to the telecommunications industry. Zitnik has been a steadfast supporter of CCA and its member carriers for nearly three decades, championing the success of rural and regional U.S. carriers throughout his career.

In his role as EVP and CTO at Interop Technologies, Zitnik is responsible for software development, engineering, product management, and IT business strategy. His guiding philosophy has always been to build solutions “the right way” for carriers—reliable, evolutionary technologies that represent a smart use of capital rather than short-term fixes.

Widely regarded as one of the industry’s most respected voices in mobile messaging, Zitnik has chaired and contributed to countless working groups, task forces, and steering committees for major telecom standards bodies worldwide. He has consistently advocated for the unique needs of rural carriers, ensuring they have a strong voice as mobile networks evolve.

“Steve’s leadership and commitment to the competitive carrier community embody the values of this award,” said Tim Donovan, President and CEO of CCA. “For nearly 30 years, he has championed innovation while keeping the needs of rural carriers at the forefront. We are proud to recognize his contributions with the Neko Hamlett Associate Member of the Year Award.”

Beyond his technical expertise, Zitnik is known for the personal dedication he brings to the carriers and communities he serves. His nearly 30 years of service have left a lasting impact on both CCA and the broader telecommunications industry.

The award was presented at CCA’s Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas, where Zitnik was formally recognized among peers and industry leaders.
