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.

Diamond Drunk’s New Travel Size
The Germ-Fighting Essential Every Jewelry-Loving Jet-Setter Needs

Corona Del Mar, CA – August 13, 2025 8:00 PM Eastern Time –Traveling through the airport is a hazmat danger zone – with dirt, germs and toxins traveling on a first-class ticket right to your seat, carry-on and hands! From disgusting security bins to bacteria covered tray tables, your travel routine can expose you – and your precious jewelry – to dozens of germs. While packing hand sanitizer helps protect skin and hands, it doesn’t help detoxify your jewelry that is often overlooked and unprotected from germs and dulling dirt that drains its sparkle.

Enter the new Diamond Drunk, The Travel Collection – Beach Beige – a must-have in your carry-on, and everywhere you might travel to this summer. The TSA-friendly, non-toxic cleaning kit includes four bottles of plant-based concentrate in the exclusive scent Wellness Retreat No. 24, plus a mini bauble basket to hold all of your jewelry. It’s designed to keep jewelry clean, sparkling, and safe from the germs that thrive in airports, airplanes, and everywhere in between. Don’t let your sparkle get dulled by travel germs, make sure to always pack your Diamond Detox Travel Size Concentrates.

Don’t take our word for it, we’ve compiled some of the ickiest facts about airports and airplanes that will make you rethink your entire travel routine, including…

We all know traveling isn’t always the cleanest, especially when it comes to airports. Did you know that a recent study found that airport security bins are the leading place for germs to spread? And check-in touchscreens are dirtier than toilet seats – grab that mobile ticket stat!!  Want more dirt on traveling?

 

  1. Restroom stall latches are rarely disinfected.
  2. Armrests and seats in waiting areas collect bacteria.
  3. Doorhandles are covered in germs.
  4. Soap dispensers are touched by dirty hands while Sink faucets are a virtual petri dish for toxins.  Need we mentino toilet handles?!
  5. Paper towel dispensers – Handled right after using the toilet.

Like most travelers, it is always best to be prepared while traveling on an airplane. Most people tend to bring hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, or even masks to protect themselves from germs. With quick turnaround times for airplanes, the planes don’t always get as clean as people might think. With a constant flow of passengers coming and going, it also makes it extremely hard to make sure everything is germ free. Here are some of the grossest fakes about traveling on an airplane:

  1. Airplane tray tables are the dirtiest surface onboard.
  2. Seatbelt buckles – Almost never wiped down between passengers.
  3. Fabric seats trap sweat, skin, and germs
  4. Air vents, headrests, and seatbacks are touched constantly
  5. Bathrooms get gross fast aboard planes
  6. Overhead bins rarely get cleaned
  7. Used Blankets and Pillows – Rarely washed between flights.
  8. Uncleaned Airplane Carpets – Trap dirt, dust, and bacteria.
  9. Dirty Screens – Personal TV screens touched by many without being disinfected.
