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.

Spend for the Holidays Without Breaking the Bank

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - After scaling back celebrations last year, people are ready to spend money on gifts, vacations, decorations and entertaining for the 2021 holiday season. But the pressure is on with news of inflation and ongoing supply chain issues. So finding everything on your wish list may be harder to find, and more expensive if you do find them.

According to Bankrate.com, the average American shopper will spend $998 on gifts and other holiday expenses. "If you have a large family or like to throw holiday parties, you could possibly double or triple that number," says Cheryl Costa, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. "Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy plenty of holiday fun, and find gifts for everyone on your list, without breaking the bank."

Costa recommends taking these steps to avoid starting the New Year with a sleigh full of bills:

Budget ahead. Subtract your "must pay" expenses from your income. Then decide how much you can reasonably afford to spend on various holiday expenses, such as:

  • Decorations
  • Party supplies and food
  • Cards
  • Gifts
  • Travel

Do the math. If you go over budget in one category, cut back in another. Perhaps a family ski trip takes priority over hosting the neighbors. Or have a potluck party and invite everyone to bring a dish.

Trim the gift list. For work friends, book groups and extended family, suggest a Secret Santa, where everyone in the group is assigned someone at random. This allows each person to buy one gift, instead of buying gifts for everyone.

Get a seasonal job. Most retail stores seek extra help at night and on weekends during the holiday season. Flexibility is the norm, if your schedule permits. You can enjoy a seasonal second career and get an employee discount on your own purchases.

Curb the card. Avoid racking up high credit-card bills for holiday spending. Keep your budget in mind when you pull out the plastic for online purchases, and don't forget to look for free shipping.

A CFP® professional can help you manage your money with short-term and long-term plans to make the most of your money now and in the future. For more budgeting ideas during the holidays, check out LetsMakeAPlan.org.
