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.

CMI Media Group Unveils 2026 Media Inflation Report, Equipping Life Sciences with Critical Insights Amidst Evolving Landscape

By: via GlobeNewswire

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CMI Media Group, a leading WPP (NYSE: WPP) agency focused on the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, today announced the release of its highly anticipated 2026 Media Inflation Report. Coinciding with the agency's third annual Agility Philadelphia: Hype to Hope to Health event on September 8th, the report provides life sciences clients with essential data and strategic guidance to navigate the increasingly complex and costly media environment.

The 2026 Media Inflation Report offers a comprehensive analysis of year-over-year investment trends across major media channels, alongside anticipated baseline and aggressive inflation potentials. This critical intelligence empowers brand and media teams to make informed decisions, optimize investments, and demonstrate robust ROI in a highly regulated sector.

"In today's dynamic media landscape, understanding and anticipating inflation is not just an advantage – it's a necessity for our life sciences clients," said Justin Freid, Chief Media & Innovation Officer, CMI Media Group. "Our 2026 Media Inflation Report is more than just data; it's a strategic roadmap designed to help them identify pressure points, uncover mitigation opportunities, and ultimately, achieve their marketing objectives with greater efficiency and impact."

Key insights from the 2026 Media Inflation Report include:

  • Digital Dominance with Nuance: While digital media continues its rapid growth, the report highlights varying inflation rates across digital display, custom endemic content, online video, connected TV, social, and search. Programmatic buying is strengthening, and AI expansion in search marks a pivotal shift in platform use, particularly for health-related queries.
  • Traditional Media's Evolving Role: The report delves into the inflation dynamics of traditional channels like linear TV, audio/radio, print, out-of-home (OOH), point-of-care (POC), and point-of-purchase (POP). It underscores the continued importance of a holistic video strategy to match changing consumption habits and notes the ongoing challenges and opportunities within each channel.
  • Healthcare-Specific Challenges: The report emphasizes the unique challenges faced by pharma marketers, including limited inventory, strict compliance, and audience targeting restrictions. Increased competition in digital media is driving up rates, directly impacting reach, frequency, and patient/HCP engagement costs.
  • Smarter, More Agile Planning: The overarching takeaway is the imperative for smarter, more agile planning to combat rising media costs. This includes leveraging insights into channels with declining spend, understanding market volatility, and adapting to transformations in areas like EHR platforms for audience targeting.
