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 Social Security Administrator Martin O’Malley to Deliver Keynote at ACRD 2025 Conference

ACRD

CHICAGO, IL – Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) announced today that former Social Security Administrator Martin O’Malley will present the keynote address at ACRD’s annual conference, held April 15th and 16th in Chicago.

A lifelong advocate for stronger, more accessible government services, O’Malley has played a pivotal role in shaping disability rights, Social Security policy, and public service throughout his career. His leadership as Governor of Maryland (2007–2015), Mayor of Baltimore (1999–2007), and Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (2023–2024) has shaped critical national conversations on advocacy, public service, and systemic improvements that impact millions.

“Governor O’Malley has been instrumental in strengthening Social Security and improving services for people with disabilities,” said Rachel Buck, Executive Director of ACRD. “He understands the challenges faced by both beneficiaries and the professionals who serve them. His leadership and partnership with advocates have been invaluable, and we are honored to welcome him to this year’s conference.”

In appreciation of his efforts to improve Social Security services and his engagement with disability representatives and advocates, ACRD will present a special recognition to Governor O’Malley during the conference.

O’Malley’s keynote address is scheduled for April 15 at 4:45 PM, offering attendees a rare opportunity to hear directly from a leader who has shaped national policy and continues to drive meaningful conversations on disability advocacy.

“I’ve seen firsthand how the work of ACRD members brings real and lasting benefits to individuals seeking Social Security support,” said O’Malley. “I look forward to joining this year’s conference and discussing the shared goal of improving the system for beneficiaries and their advocates.”

The ACRD 2025 Conference will take place at the Chicago Sofitel Hotel. It will bring together leading professionals in disability representation for two days of expert-led sessions, networking, and in-depth discussions on the future of Social Security advocacy.

In addition to Governor O’Malley’s keynote, the conference will feature a dynamic lineup of influential voices, thought leaders, and industry experts who are shaping the future of disability advocacy. Additional high-profile speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Registration is open exclusively to ACRD members, space is limited, and demand is high. More details, including registration information, can be found at www.acrd.org/2025conference.
