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.

From Ashes to a World Record? The Incredible Comeback Story of 'The Slider Capital of the World' Powers Hamburgers

07/14/2025, Fort Wayne, IN // PRODIGY: Feature Story //

Powers Hamburgers is an iconic part of Fort Wayne. When people think of Fort Wayne, they hear the sound of the crowd at a Komets game, listen to the quiet beauty of the riverfront, and the unmistakable smell inside the Powers Hamburgers. It's the aroma of sizzling beef and sweet, grilled onions, a scent woven into the city’s fabric for 85 years. Now, this hometown institution have just made history.

For more than 80 years, Powers Hamburgers has been the heartbeat of Fort Wayne, where the scent of grilled onions and the sizzle of sliders signal something special.
Powers Hamburgers

That little diner on South Harrison Street, Powers Burgers, has always been more than a place to eat. It's a landmark of memories where grandfathers took their grandkids for their first sliders, where friends piled in after a football game, and where Fort Wayne residents knew they could get an authentic taste of hamburgers.

Now, what Fort Wayne locals have always known is official. The humble diner has earned the city the title of “Slider Capital of the World.” The honor, formalized by Indiana Governor Mike Braun, recognizes Powers Hamburgers for its “longstanding contributions to Indiana’s heritage,” thus earning the recognition. Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon L. Tucker, meanwhile, has declared Wednesday, July 16, 2025, as Powers Hamburgers Slider Capital of the World Day, encouraging residents to celebrate the iconic restaurant.

This feat comes as Powers extends its gratitude to the community that never gave up on it. After a year that tested its survival, the diner launches Powers Fest, a week-long celebration from July 10–16. To hype up the guests during the festival, the grand finale is a world record attempt to confirm Fort Wayne’s standing as the nation’s slider stronghold.

These are the can’t-miss moments of Powers Fest.

Thursday, July 10 – Late-Night Kickoff
Powers keeps the grill hot until midnight, giving fans a rare chance to grab their favorite sliders under the stars.

Saturday, July 12 – Family Day

Families are encouraged to bring their kids to enjoy a variety of activities, such as face painting, balloon animals, and other surprises. Grown-ups can join in the fun, too.

Monday, July 14 – Classic Car Show
Car enthusiasts can enjoy a vintage vehicle display at the Powers parking lot.

Tuesday, July 15 – The Slider-Eating Contest Returns
This local favorite challenges brave eaters to devour the most sliders in record time.

Wednesday, July 16 – “Slider Capital of the World Day”
As the main event, Powers and the city of Fort Wayne attempt to break the world record for most sliders sold in 24 hours.

“This is our moment,” said co-owner Panos Bourounis. “With the Governor and Mayor behind us, we’re not just a diner chasing a record. We are the Slider Capital of the World. Imagine telling your kids you were there. We truly believe we can do this together.”

As Powers Fest approaches, one thing is certain: this comeback isn’t just about burgers. It’s about preserving a legacy, honoring a city’s pride, and proving that true icons never fade.
