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.

Enhanced Autonomy Correlates with Elevated Happiness Levels

By: MerxWire

Are you content with your current happiness level? How do you define happiness? According to a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, the more “autonomy” one has in life, the stronger the feeling of happiness will be.

Claremont, CA (Merxwire) – Nearly everyone pursues a wellspring of happiness, striving to enhance their lives and discover means to cultivate joy. Engaging in pursuits such as education, career advancement, marriage, property ownership, and parenting, some individuals believe these endeavors yield happiness, while others express dissatisfaction with their life circumstances. 

A study published by Claremont Graduate University shows that happiness is related to three aspects: Affect, Engagement, and Meaning. Autonomy is the important impact factor in these three aspects. In other words, “happiness” becomes stronger with higher “autonomy.” The research was published in The Journal of Positive Psychology.

The researchers found that when people participated in activities such as work, study, entertainment, rest, etc., if their autonomy was higher, Affect and Engagement showed positive linear growth. And when they are doing what they love, they also feel that life is more Meaning. The results suggest that the key to happiness may be to experience greater autonomy.

What can we do? When circumstances permit, decrease the “should do” and increase the “want to do.” When a person truly knows the things he likes and the life he yearns for, he can master every stage and navigate to a happy destination.

In other words, “knowing yourself” is an important thing, and it is the source of your happiness. What kind of person do you want to be? What kind of life do you want to have? When participating in activities, choosing activities that contain more intrinsic motivations such as interests, dreams, and a sense of accomplishment may create more happiness!

Do you like your current self? If you were given a choice, would you want to go back to childhood or back to adolescence? Although we often hear “want to go back to being a kid!” as if people were less stressed and happier as children, the actual survey data is not.

OnePoll, a market research firm, surveyed 2,000 American adults and got an unexpected answer: People most want to go back to being 36. Although the age of 30 to 45 must accept the dual challenges of work and family, it is also a stage where people can feel meaning and reward. Maybe the Claremont Graduate University Research has shown why these people want to go back to 36, not childhood.
