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.

Former Fortune 500 HR Leader Reveals How Clarity and Confidence Drive Promotions on Burnout Club with Patrice Bonfiglio

By: Prodigy
07/24/2025, Beverly Hills California // PRODIGY: Feature Story //

Courtney O’Connell, executive coach and founder of The Promoted, recently appeared on The Burnout Club podcast episode hosted by Patrice Bonfiglio to explore the often-unspoken dynamics behind career advancement. Drawing from her 25-year rise from administrative assistant to Senior Vice President and Head of Human Resources at a Fortune 500 company, O’Connell offered a candid look at how promotions are really decided—and why many professionals burn out trying to achieve them.

“Most people think burnout comes from working too hard, but it often stems from misalignment,” O’Connell said. “When you’re chasing a path that doesn’t fit your values or what truly lights you up, that’s where the exhaustion starts.” Through The Promoted, O’Connell helps ambitious leaders clarify their personal and professional goals so they can advance without sacrificing their well-being.

In the episode, O’Connell emphasized that confidence—not competence—is often the deciding factor in promotion discussions that happen behind closed doors. “It’s not about being the loudest in the room,” she explained. “It’s about energetic alignment and the presence you bring. Your personal brand is being read whether you’re shaping it or not.”

She also addressed why so many leaders feel stalled despite strong performance. “Most promotions are decided in rooms you’re not in,” O’Connell said. “If you’re unclear on your brand or too uncomfortable to position yourself, the decision will be made without your influence.”

Beyond individual growth, O’Connell shared advice for organizations. She urged CEOs and Chief Human Resources Officers to prioritize meaningful development and ensure managers know how to deliver honest, constructive feedback. “People want to feel recognized and valued,” she noted. “That doesn’t cost anything, but it can be the difference between a loyal, energized team and quiet burnout.”

O’Connell’s work now centers on guiding professionals through what she calls “inside-out” coaching—helping them understand their non-negotiables, address internal triggers, and build careers that align with who they are at their core. “When leaders gain clarity, they stop hustling aimlessly and start moving intentionally,” she said. “That’s how they become undeniable.”
