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.

Road Scholar Announces First Sustainability Manager & Organization-Wide Initiative

By: Newsfile

Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2024) - Road Scholar, the world leader in educational travel for older adults, announces a comprehensive sustainability initiative as part of their ongoing effort to minimize the environmental impact of and enhance cultural awareness on their programs. This project reinforces their commitment to responsible travel practices, following the organization's carbon offset pledge in 2022.

Leading this initiative is Bryn Geddes, Road Scholar's newly appointed Program Sustainability Manager. With a master's degree in tourism management focused on sustainability, Bryn previously worked on the Road Scholar Southwest Operations Team, where she gained firsthand insight into sustainable practices in educational travel.

"I am thrilled to lead our sustainability efforts, which will not only enhance our programs but also empower our participants to engage responsibly with the communities they visit," said Bryn Geddes.

In a 2023 survey, Road Scholar asked participants to rank their greatest international and national issues. Forty-three percent chose climate change as their number one concern, compared with "the divide in political discourse in America" (29%) and "global unrest" (12%). Seventy-three percent of respondents said that they take into account a company or organization's stance on protecting the environment when purchasing a project or service.

"The response from our participants was clear: climate change is a major concern for them, and they're paying attention to what we're doing to combat it," said Geddes.

Key components of Road Scholar's sustainability initiative include: waste reduction, staff training and participant education, sustainability audits and goal setting, organizational alignment, and compliance with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) tour operator guidelines.

Road Scholar will prioritize partners and suppliers who align with these goals and are educated on sustainable practices. They will also continue their partnerships with Climeco and Sustainable Travel International to support carbon offset contributions.

The organization places a strong emphasis on educating both Group Leaders and program participants to ensure that interactions with local cultures are respectful. Road Scholar participants receive guidelines on visitor etiquette before visiting Indigenous sites, while Group Leaders provide valuable context to foster understanding and respect.

Meghan Flynn, Associate Vice President of Program Strategy at Road Scholar, remarked, "When tourism is done right, everybody wins. It not only provides economic benefits but also allows local communities to take pride in their heritage."
