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 Insurance Agent To Resilient Entrepreneur, John Macatangay Provides Real World Insight For Those Starting A New Business

John Macatangay imparts business insights from lived experiences that he wants other future entrepreneurs to learn from, having started several businesses thus far, all with their own unique stories.

-- John Macatangay, former insurance broker and founder of multiple successful businesses, including ASM Insurance & Financial Services, Hopportunities Taproom, Twenty Percent Solutions, and Hopp the Hobby, continues to make his mark as a resilient and forward-thinking entrepreneur. His journey, which began in the insurance industry, has evolved into a broader passion for launching innovative ventures and sharing hard-earned lessons with aspiring business owners.

Macatangay began his professional career in 2011 by launching ASM Insurance & Financial Services, a business that quickly grew to become a highly rated, 5-star Google Review firm. After seven years of continued success in the financial services sector, his entrepreneurial drive led him to explore new industries and opportunities.

In mid-2018, Macatangay set his sights on the hospitality sector with the vision of creating a unique self-serve taproom concept in Delray Beach, Florida. By late 2019, Hopportunities Taproom opened its doors with 55 self-pour taps, becoming a local hotspot. However, just months later, the global COVID-19 pandemic threatened the momentum of his new venture. Despite the significant challenges, Macatangay pivoted creatively, adapting his business model to survive and sustain operations throughout the crisis.

The pandemic brought valuable insights that John Macatangay now shares openly to help guide other entrepreneurs. One of the most profound lessons involved municipal policy. “When scouting for a business location, most owners focus on the tangible elements—leases, vendors, staffing, and equipment,” said Macatangay. “What I overlooked was how local government policies could directly impact the viability of my specific business model.”

He now urges entrepreneurs to engage early with local municipal leaders or economic development offices to understand whether their business concept aligns with the goals and regulations of the community. “Municipalities may be pro-business, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they support your business,” he emphasizes.

Another key takeaway: the importance of supply chain preparedness. During COVID-19, disruptions in product availability proved especially challenging. Macatangay advises entrepreneurs to not only identify secondary suppliers but also establish active relationships with them in advance. “Don’t wait for a crisis to test your backup plans,” he said. “Develop those relationships now.”
