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.

5 Things You Can Do to Keep Your Home Safe This Winter

When the days are shorter and the temperature is colder, we all know that winter is here! 

 

If you didn’t take the time to prepare your home for winter, you could be in for some severe problems. For starters, pipes can freeze and burst, leading to costly repairs. You might also deal with drafts that lead to high heating bills. It’s not too late to take simple steps to winterize your home and possibly save a lot of hassle (and money).

 

Take a look at these ways to winterize your home and protect it from possible cold weather damage.

 

1. Keep Your Home Well Insulated 

Insulation helps retain the heat in your home, which can prevent freezing pipes. When water freezes, it expands and can cause pipes to crack or even burst. These issues can lead to costly repairs, not to mention the inconvenience of being without water.

 

Insulation can also reduce your heating bills, since it will help your home retain more heat. 

 

2. Maintain Your Heating System  

It’s important to minimize the risk of fire and other possible home hazards caused by ducts and HVAC systems. Hire a professional to inspect and maintain your heating system. This will help prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Maintaining your heating system makes it run more efficiently, which may save you money on your energy bills.

 

3. Seal Cracks or Gaps in Your Home 

Cracks and crevices can let cold air into your home, which can cause your pipes to freeze and burst. You can keep the warm air inside and reduce your heating bills by sealing any gaps, including the seals around windows.

 

4. Don’t Leave Space Heaters Unattended 

If you use space heaters to supplement your home’s heating system, it is essential not to leave them unattended. Space heaters can be a fire hazard if you don’t use them properly, so always make sure that you turn them off when you leave the room or go to bed for the night. 

 

In addition, you shouldn’t ever place a space heater on top of furniture or near flammable materials such as curtains or bedding.

 

 

5. Keep Your Gutters Clean and Inspect Your Roof

Clogged gutters can cause various problems, including roof leaks, foundation cracks, and flooding. To clean your gutters, remove any leaves or debris and clear downspouts. It’s also vital to inspect your roof periodically. Look for any missing or damaged shingles and ensure that the flashing around your chimney and skylights is secure. If you find any problems, repair them before it gets too cold or significant damage is a threat.

 

Final Thoughts

Winter weather can take a toll on your home, but you can do some simple things to keep it safe. 

 

Keep your home well insulated and seal any cracks or gaps. It’s also essential to clean your gutters, inspect your roof regularly, maintain your heating system, and never leave space heaters unattended. Following these simple tips can help you keep your home as safe as possible all winter.
