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.

Initial Phase of Expansion Brings Xfinity and Comcast Business Services to Nearly 100 Residents and Businesses for the First Time

 

 

 

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – August 18, 2025 — Comcast is connecting nearly 100 homes and businesses in the unincorporated rural community of Four Lakes, Washington to reliable, high-speed, symmetrical Internet through the ongoing expansion of its next-generation network in Eastern Washington. The expansion will enhance digital infrastructure, promote economic growth, and position residents and local businesses for success in an increasingly digital world. 

The network expansion brings Internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to residents and businesses for the first time. Comcast expects to extend its network to more than 140 homes and businesses once construction is completed later this year. 

“Reliable broadband is the foundation for thriving rural communities. Comcast's network expansion in Four Lakes opens the door to new businesses, remote work, and educational opportunities—fueling long-term growth and making our region more competitive and connected than ever before,” said Commissioner Al French, Spokane County.

Investing $1.2 billion in technology and infrastructure in Washington over the past three years, Comcast is also expanding its next-generation network to more than 5,000 homes and businesses in additional underserved communities in eastern Washington, including Chattaroy, Cheney, and Medical Lake.

A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure

Four Lakes joins the more than 64 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders. It delivers multi-gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and security built in from the ground up to help keep customers safe from cyber threats.
