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 Shaping Global Crypto Policy to Reinventing the Web3 AI Ecosystem: Yu Xiong Honored as Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences

Professor Xiong is among 63 newly elected Fellows this year, recognized for outstanding contributions to research, policy, and society.

Yu Xiong is an internationally renowned scholar and industry leader, specializing in business analytics, blockchain, metaverse technologies, and innovation ecosystems. He has published over 100 academic papers in leading journals, including Nature Communications, European Journal of Operational Research, and Journal of Operations Management.

As a pioneer in blockchain and metaverse applications, Professor Xiong founded and leads the University of Surrey Academy of Blockchain and Metaverse Applications, advancing cutting-edge research and fostering collaboration between academia and industry. He also chaired the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Metaverse and Web 3.0, shaping policies in emerging digital fields. And he is a member of the advisory board for All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) in the UK Parliament.

Professor Xiong's career bridges academia and industry. He has served as Vice President of Fotor, a platform with over 650 million users, and a non-executive director for Yinde Group, which invests in over 30 companies annually in the UK. His work drives innovation and strategic partnerships at the forefront of technological transformation.

Xiong first rose to global prominence in 2021 with a Nature Communications study that shook the world of cryptocurrency mining. The landmark paper exposed the scale of Bitcoin’s carbon footprint, projecting emissions equivalent to those of entire nations. Widely cited by policymakers and the media, the study reshaped debates at COP26, accelerated China’s regulatory crackdown on crypto mining, and fundamentally changed how the world thinks about the sustainability of digital assets.

Professor Xiong’s election as an Academy Fellow underscores his continuing mission to ensure that technology serves society. That mission now powers his blockchain journey: Endless, a decentralized intelligent protocol built to bridge Web2 and Web3 ecosystems, exploring the future of an AI-powered Web3 ecosystem.

Endless has also incubated Luffa, a social operating system that integrates programmable loyalty, decentralized identity, and AI-driven agents - tools that give creators and fans new ways to build value and trust. His Fellowship recognition affirms the importance of bridging rigorous scholarship with real-world innovation.

Professor Yu Xiong said, “My research on Bitcoin’s carbon footprint demonstrated how technology can disrupt global systems for better or worse. That work helped change the rules of the game for crypto mining. With Endless & Luffa, we now have the opportunity to build a digital economy that empowers developers, creators and community, using AI and blockchain not just for efficiency, but for fairness, transparency, and sustainability.”
