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.

SME Growth Hub Launches AI-Powered Planning Tools for SMEs

SME Growth Hub has launched a suite of AI-powered business planning tools designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) scale and thrive. The platform offers tailored, actionable plans, step-by-step playbooks, and a supportive community for entrepreneurs.

-- From Personal Struggle to Global Impact: The Story Behind SME Growth Hub

For Monique Richards, founder of SME Growth Hub, entrepreneurship is not just about business; it’s deeply personal. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, she witnessed firsthand the challenges that come with running a small business. From long hours to personal sacrifices, Monique understood the relentless pressure faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Her experience spans industries like travel, retail, and tech, which equipped her with invaluable insights into the nuances of what makes a business successful. But it was her personal journey as a business owner that ignited her passion to help others avoid the pitfalls she once faced.

“I saw brilliant ideas falter—not because they weren’t good enough, but because business owners didn’t have the right support at the right time,” says Monique. This realization inspired her to create SME Growth Hub, a platform that offers practical tools, resources, and a supportive community for SME owners.

Understanding the Challenges of SMEs

Running a small business is daunting. Entrepreneurs often face overwhelm, lack of resources, and a shortage of affordable expert advice. With nearly 20% of small businesses failing within the first two years and half closing their doors within five, many owners experience burnout, especially when they don’t have a clear path forward.

Monique’s vision for SME Growth Hub was to create a platform that empowers small business owners to thrive, not just survive. "I wanted to create something that helps small business owners not just survive, but thrive,” she explains. This vision led to the launch of SME Growth Hub, which is dedicated to providing clarity, confidence, and support to entrepreneurs.

SME Growth Hub’s Solution: A Comprehensive Approach to Business Planning

SME Growth Hub is more than a business planning platform—it’s a comprehensive toolkit for entrepreneurs. The platform’s AI-powered tools generate industry-specific business plans, helping entrepreneurs save time and ensure their plans are actionable. Rather than spending hours researching or hiring consultants, business owners can generate a strategic roadmap quickly and efficiently.

“Clarity is key to moving forward,” Monique explains. “Our AI-generated plans provide business owners with a clear direction, tailored to their industry needs.”

The platform also features a variety of step-by-step playbooks on essential topics like market analysis, funding strategies, and operational efficiency, offering practical guides that help entrepreneurs implement strategies to drive growth.

In addition, SME Growth Hub offers a project management feature designed specifically for small businesses. Entrepreneurs can stay on track, manage deadlines, and collaborate effectively with their teams. With these tools, business owners feel empowered to focus on growth while navigating the complexities of day-to-day operations.

A Strong Community: Building Connections Among Like-Minded Entrepreneurs

A key differentiator for SME Growth Hub is its commitment to fostering community. Entrepreneurs often feel isolated as they juggle business, family, and personal demands. SME Growth Hub’s growing network connects like-minded business owners, encouraging collaboration, mutual support, and knowledge sharing.

“The community is such an important part of what we offer,” Monique says. “It’s not just about the tools—it’s about creating a space to share experiences, learn from one another, and grow together.”

Empowering SMEs Around the World

SME Growth Hub is on a mission to equip entrepreneurs with the tools they need to scale, adapt, and succeed. With AI-powered planning tools, actionable playbooks, and a supportive network, SME Growth Hub is revolutionizing the way small businesses approach growth.

“Our goal is simple: we want to give every SME the tools they need to succeed—today, tomorrow, and for years to come,” Monique explains.

Recognition: Best Business Planning Platform for SMEs in the US (2025)

In recognition of its innovative contributions to small business success, SME Growth Hub was awarded the Best Business Planning Platform for SMEs in the US of 2025 by the Evergreen Awards. This prestigious honor highlights the platform’s role in empowering entrepreneurs to build solid foundations and scale their businesses with clarity and confidence.

The award underscores SME Growth Hub’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, AI-driven business planning tools that have made a significant impact in the small business sector. As the company continues to evolve, it remains at the forefront of supporting SMEs in their growth journey.
