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.

Barnes & Noble College Introduces Room Service – An Innovative Dorm Shopping and Delivery Service

Barnes & Noble College Room Service

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barnes & Noble College (BNC), a Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED) company and leading solutions provider for higher education, today announced the launch of Room Service, a first-of-its-kind service designed to make shopping and moving-in easier and stress-free for college students and their families.

Room Service is a customizable dorm delivery solution offered exclusively to Barnes & Noble College school partners to support students and their families. Students can purchase all their must-have dorm room items from a curated assortment of bedding, bath essentials, storage solutions, desk supplies, and mini appliances, and have them delivered directly to their campus housing or available for pickup on campus — ready and waiting for them when they arrive. The Room Service program can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each campus community.

Ordering is easy and convenient. Through a unique online shopping experience, customers are guided through each category, making it simple to find and select exactly what they need for dorm living. They can browse a curated collection of high-quality dorm essentials and arrange for delivery with just a few simple clicks. Orders are prepared, packaged, and delivered before move-in day, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. The seamless service is designed to meet the needs of today’s campus living, helping students, parents, and families avoid the stress of shopping, packing, and shipping items for move-in day.

In addition to direct-to-dorm delivery, Room Service provides on-campus service and support through the campus bookstore, giving students and families access to convenient, in-person assistance during move-in and throughout the academic year.

“The start of the school year is a significant milestone for students, and we want to help them feel comfortable and prepared from day one,” said Jonathan Shar, Chief Executive Officer, Barnes & Noble Education. “Room Service eliminates the hassle of packing, shipping, or last-minute shopping, conveniently delivering what students need — exactly where they need it. It’s just one more way our bookstores provide innovative services and resources to our school partners that help support students and their families during every step of the college journey.”

Room Service underscores Barnes & Noble College’s commitment to delivering more relevant and impactful services that meet the evolving needs of the entire campus community — from students and their families to alumni, faculty, staff, fans, and the local community. It is part of a broader strategy to reimagine the campus bookstore as more than a retail space, transforming it into a hub of convenience, support, and value for everyone it serves. By extending its offerings beyond course materials and school merchandise, Barnes & Noble College helps students thrive from day one while offering all members of the campus community greater access, convenience, and confidence as they engage with college life.
