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.

Veterans Are Half as Likely as Nonveterans to Work in Leisure & Hospitality: OysterLink Analysis

By: Newsfile

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 22, 2025) - The latest data by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show clear differences in where veterans and nonveterans work, where veterans are half as likely as nonveterans to be employed in Leisure and Hospitality (3.8% of veterans vs. 7.7% of nonveterans), as analyzed by OysterLink.

The largest gap, however, appears in Education and Health Services, where veterans account for 9.0% of veteran employment compared with 16.4% of nonveterans.

The data also highlights where veterans are most concentrated. Government employs 23.4% of veterans versus 13.1% of nonveterans, with a particularly strong presence in Federal roles (12.0% vs. 2.2%).

Veterans also show higher shares in Transportation and Utilities (7.9% vs. 4.8%) and Manufacturing (11.5% vs. 9.0%), while their presence is lower in Retail Trade (7.1% vs. 9.6%).

Industry Comparison: Veterans vs. Nonveterans (2024 Annual Averages

"Two things stand out: Veterans cluster in public-sector and operational fields, and they're underrepresented in consumer-facing service sectors," said Milos Eric, co-founder and general manager of OysterLink.

IndustryVeterans (%)Nonveterans (%)
Leisure & Hospitality3.87.7
Education & Health Services9.016.4
Government (Total)23.413.1
— Federal12.02.2
— State4.54.7
— Local7.06.2
Transportation & Utilities7.94.8
Manufacturing11.59.0
Retail Trade7.19.6

 

"That's both a signal of skill transfer—toward structured, mission-driven work—and an opportunity for industries like hospitality and healthcare to build better on-ramps for veteran talent."

For employers, the findings suggest practical next steps: align outreach with veterans' experience in logistics, compliance, and leadership; clarify advancement paths in service sectors; and translate military roles into civilian job requirements.

For sectors with lower veteran shares, especially Leisure & Hospitality and Education & Health, targeted partnerships and skill-translation frameworks could widen the pipeline.
