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.

GCMS Notes Request Issues 2025 Advisory Clarifying the Difference Between GCMS and CAIPS Notes

GCMS Notes Request has released a 2025 advisory explaining that CAIPS notes are obsolete and applicants should request GCMS notes instead. The clarification aims to prevent delays caused by outdated guidance and help visa-seekers access the correct IRCC case files.

-- As more people seek clarity on the status of their Canadian visa or study permit applications, many are still unsure whether to request CAIPS notes or GCMS notes—two terms often used interchangeably online. But according to GCMS Notes Request, a Canada-based platform helping global applicants access internal immigration records, only one of these systems is still in use.

“CAIPS notes were phased out more than a decade ago, but many applicants—especially those relying on outdated online content—are still searching for them,” said a spokesperson from GCMS Notes Request. “Today, all immigration case files are stored in IRCC’s Global Case Management System, and those are what people actually receive.”

GCMS notes, short for Global Case Management System notes, are detailed internal records created by Canadian immigration officers. They show how an application is being processed, what documents have been reviewed, what concerns have been raised, and the status of background or eligibility checks. These records are especially valuable when a visa has been refused or delayed.

For applicants still searching for “caips notes,” the confusion can lead to unnecessary delays. “What they really need to do is order GCMS notes from the current system,” the spokesperson added. “That’s what IRCC actually uses today.”

GCMS Notes Request has seen a steady increase in requests from applicants looking to reapply after refusal or understand unexplained delays. The platform allows individuals to submit Access to Information requests to IRCC or CBSA, and receive their files securely by email.

About the company: GCMS Notes Request is a Canada-based platform that helps applicants worldwide obtain their GCMS notes from IRCC and CBSA. The service manages requests under the Access to Information Act, delivers encrypted files securely, and provides access to expert reviews from independent immigration professionals for complex files.
