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.

Vibrant Occasions Founders Share Culture and Customer Experience Strategies at Chamber Event

Chef Serge and Mary Krikorian of Vibrant Occasions presented insights on heart leadership principles at Little Rock Regional Chamber's Equip lunch session.

-- Chef Serge and Mary Krikorian, founders and managing partners of Vibrant Occasions Catering, recently served as featured speakers at the Little Rock Regional Chamber's "Equip: Cultivating Culture & Customer Experience." The session took place from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM in the Verizon Conference Room at the Little Rock Regional Chamber headquarters.

The husband-and-wife team shared real-world insights on how they've built a company culture that delivers unforgettable experiences for every customer. Drawing from their decades of experience in the restaurant and catering industries, the Krikorians demonstrated how heart leadership principles have transformed their business operations and contributed to their recent recognition as winners of multiple "Best Caterer" awards.


"We were excited to share our journey with the Little Rock business community and discuss how focusing on culture first has been the foundation of everything we've accomplished," said Mary Krikorian, Managing Partner of Vibrant Occasions Catering. "When you create an environment where your team feels valued and empowered, that positive energy naturally extends to every customer interaction."

The presentation covered the implementation of Vibrant Occasions' MIVE (Make It Vibrant Everyday) Culture Club, their core values of growth, innovation, balance, awesomeness, and integrity, and practical strategies for creating team-building initiatives that strengthen workplace relationships while enhancing customer service delivery.

"Heart leadership isn't just a buzzword for us because it's how we operate every single day," said Chef Serge Krikorian, Managing Partner & Executive Chef. "We shared specific examples of how this approach has helped us maintain a 7.6% turnover rate while consistently delivering exceptional experiences that keep clients coming back and referring their friends."

The Krikorians founded Vibrant Occasions Catering in 2002, having built on their extensive restaurant experience including their ownership of Sergio's Pizza, which had become one of the top 1% independent pizza restaurants in the nation. Originally from Lebanon, Chef Serge is known for his fusion-style recipes and regular appearances on THV 11's The Vine and his YouTube show "Cooking with the Kriks." Mary, an Arkansas native with business and legal backgrounds, transitioned from law to help build the family's restaurant empire.

The Little Rock Regional Chamber's Equip program provides local business leaders with practical tools and strategies for professional development. The summer session included lunch and offered attendees the opportunity to connect with fellow business professionals while learning actionable strategies for enhancing both company culture and customer experience.

"We always look forward to connecting with other business leaders who are passionate about creating positive workplace cultures," added Mary Krikorian. "Our hope is that attendees left with practical ideas they can implement immediately to strengthen their own teams and customer relationships."
