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.

The Rise of Microschooling and Educational Innovation in America

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Every child has potential, and all children deserve the opportunity to learn, thrive, succeed, and pursue their dreams. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, America’s students are struggling. Half of all K–12 students are a full grade behind academically. Furthermore, 42% of low-income eighth graders lack basic reading skills and 54% lack basic math skills.

Moms and dads want a more responsive K–12 education system and the freedom to choose how and where their children learn. Over the past year, these parents have mobilized, spoken up, and demanded change. Their efforts compelled lawmakers to listen, leading to increased public and private school choice options across 20 states in 2023.

More American families now have unparalleled opportunities to send their children to different public, charter, magnet, online, and private schools or educate them at home. Cue the rise of microschooling. These innovative learning environments are small and often theme-based, providing a more personalized educational experience. And their popularity is growing.

According to EdChoice, over 39% of school parents nationwide either already have a child enrolled in microschooling or are keen on learning more about its potential.

These schools are both unique and diverse. For example, Black Mothers Forum Microschools, a growing network of microschools in Arizona, aims to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline and replace it with a “school-to-purpose pipeline” through a culturally nuanced and inclusive approach.

Another example is the Prism Microschool in North Newton, Kansas. It offers a distinctive educational experience centered on tailoring each child’s education to their individual needs to nurture creativity and academic growth.

Across the nation, microschools like these are gaining traction. Organizations such as the Vela Education Fund, the National Microschooling Center, and the Yass Prize have been instrumental in shining a spotlight on these alternative models, ensuring that they flourish and grow. National School Choice Week (NSCW), hosted by the National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF), will showcase the full range of nontraditional models, including microschools, later this month.

Now is the time for both parents and state leaders to look to the future. Parents, I urge you to explore these new educational frontiers. If the traditional school setting doesn’t suit your child, microschooling, or any other nontraditional model, might offer the tailored, engaging experience they need.

As we all collectively look to the future, let’s embrace the potential of innovative educational models. By doing so, we aren’t just changing schools; we’re transforming lives and laying the foundation for future generations—one child at a time.
