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.

New Appointment Strengthens AAPB’s Mission Amid Growing Momentum for Public Broadband

 

Washington, D.C. | October 1, 2025 – The American Association for Public Broadband (AAPB) today announced that Joshua Edmonds, Chief Executive Officer of DigitalC, has joined its Board of Directors.

“Joshua brings exactly what this moment demands: on-the-ground execution, community trust, and a clear vision for closing the digital divide,” said Gigi Sohn, Executive Director of AAPB. “His leadership at DigitalC shows how communities can build affordable, reliable networks that deliver real results. We are thrilled to add his voice to our board as AAPB expands and defends public broadband nationwide.”

As CEO of Cleveland-based nonprofit internet provider DigitalC, Edmonds leads a community-driven model that solves for affordability while delivering high-speed home broadband, digital skills training, workforce support, and place-based engagement. The organization recently expanded its work to Detroit and continues to develop partnerships that help residents get online and stay online. Read AAPB’s recent spotlight on DigitalC. 

Edmonds formerly served as the City of Detroit’s Director of Digital Inclusion and completed fellowships at the University of Michigan, the Cleveland Foundation, and the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. He’s a graduate of Notre Dame College and Howard University. Under Edmonds’ leadership, DigitalC completed one of the fastest citywide broadband deployments in the country—connecting more than 6,400 households since launching the network buildout in January 2024.

“I am honored to join AAPB’s Board,” said Joshua Edmonds. “Public broadband is about local power, dignity, and opportunity. AAPB gives communities a powerful ally, and I look forward to helping more cities build networks that reflect their values and meet their needs.”

In July, AAPB welcomed Lexi Christensen of UTOPIA Fiber and Brian Vo of Connect Humanity to its Board of Directors. Edmonds’ appointment further deepens the Board’s public broadband expertise.

The American Association for Public Broadband, the nation’s voice for local choice, proudly represents community-owned broadband networks and co-ops that are fueling the nation's economic future through reliable high-speed internet access. With more than 400+ networks serving 800 communities across 33 states, public––or municipal broadband––is answering America's call for reliable, affordable, and accessible internet for all.
