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.

Trump Index: 6 Companies Linked to Trump’s Cabinet Worth Watching

Usa flag and arrows with financial graph background — Photo

President Donald Trump's cabinet is often referred to as "The Avengers," with each member being accomplished in their field of expertise. Trump’s cabinet has an overwhelming number of successful businessmen and businesswomen who were leaders in the business world prior to entering the government. Many of them are linked to publicly traded companies. If one were to put together a “Trump Index” of companies linked to his cabinet, these six would be constituents worth watching.

Donald Trump: President of the United States

Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, formed the Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) from the SPAC reverse merger.

It operates the social media platform Truth Social with the intent of enabling free speech. It also has TV streaming platforms, TMTG+ and TMTG News, which have very little information.

The company reported Q3 losses of $19.2 million and $673 million in cash and investments with no debt. It earned $1 million in revenue and $4.7 million in interest income.

Elon Musk: Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

The world’s richest man is no stranger to the spotlight. Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), the largest and most profitable electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer in the United States.

He was also a co-founder of digital payments platform PayPal Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL). Musk also owns Twitter and founded SpaceX and Starlink, a satellite-based high-speed internet provider.

Musk also co-founded Solar City and Neuralink. Musk was appointed to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, where he plans to cut up to $2 trillion of government spending.

Vivek Ramaswamy: Former DOGE, Running for Ohio Governor

Former CEO and founder of Roivant Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: ROIV), Vivek Ramaswamy, gained mainstream exposure during his 2024 U.S. Presidential candidacy.

The "Roi" refers to the return on investment in the company's name. The medical sector biotech was funded partially by the QVT (his former hedge fund), DE Shaw, and many other hedge funds. Roivant acquired patents for undeveloped medicines from larger pharmaceutical companies to bring them to market.

Ramaswamy stepped down as CEO in January 2021 but still retained a 7.17% stake in the company. Ramaswamy also stepped down from DOGE to pursue a run for Ohio Governor in 2026.

Chris Wright: Department of Energy

As a nominee to head the Department of Energy, Chris Wright was the founder and CEO of Denver-based oil and gas company Liberty Energy Inc. (NYSE: LBRT).

The company provides hydraulic fracturing (fracking) services to onshore oil and gas production companies.

Wright’s experience in fracking embodies President Trump’s “Drill baby, drill” initiatives.

LBRT stock is up 11.71% year-to-day (YTD) as of Jan. 24, 2025.

Jared Isaacman: Head of NASA

Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE: FOUR) is an integrated payments processing solutions company primarily operating in the hospitality industry with over a 30% market share of the nation’s restaurants and hotels using the platform. It was founded by Jared Isaacman, who is President Trump’s nominee to head NASA. Isaacman was a high school dropout who left to join an IT consulting job at a payment processing firm at just 16.

He left to start up a rival firm in his basement with a $10,000 check from his grandfather as seed money. The company would eventually grow to become Shift4. Isaacman took up piloting to avoid burnout and set the world record for the fastest time flying around the world in under 62 hours in a Cessna Citation CJ2 in 2009. Isaacman’s net worth rose to $1.8 billion at the time of his nomination.

Linda McMahon: U.S. Department of Education

As former co-founder and CEO of sports entertainment leader WWE owned by TKO Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE: TKO), Linda McMahon was chosen by President Trump to run the Department of Education (DOE).

McMahon was instrumental in helping the WWE grow into a mainstream phenomenon. She was also the former head of the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Trump has previously pledged to abolish the DOE during his presidential campaign. McMahon would be instrumental in Trump’s goal of shifting educational oversight back to the states.
