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 Ray Wood Scholarship to Be Funded by NFT

R Wood Family Foundation Inc. to Launch Law Enforcement Education Initiative

TAMPA, Fla. - May 27, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

A year after massive protests against police violence and calls for reform were spurred by George Floyd's murder, The R Wood Family Foundation Inc. and the family of deceased former NYPD police detective, Ray Wood, announced a college scholarship to encourage minority college students to study criminal justice. 

"The Ray Wood Scholarship aims to support police reform by assisting individuals with a passion to promote change from within," said the scholarship's founder, Reggie Wood, Ray Wood's cousin. The scholarship will be funded with proceeds from a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) based a letter written by Ray prior to his death in November 2020. This letter, which Reggie Wood first read during a press conference at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center in New York City on February 20, 2021, is the R Wood Family Foundation's initial foray into the NFT category.

"We believe that this is the first letter of its kind to be released by way of the blockchain," said Mr. Wood. "Thanks to the censorship resistant attributes of the blockchain, we plan to release a series of similar letters, ensuring history will live forever."

The NFTs will be available on the Ethereum blockchain beginning Friday, May 28, 2021, and listed by OMGDrops.com, a decentralized and autonomous NFT platform. With the recent highly publicized Derek Chauvin conviction, and polls showing that Americans think the time for massive police reform has come, The R Wood Family Foundation has enlisted the assistance of Civil Rights Attorney, Benjamin Crump.

Added Wood, "The time is right for new methods of law enforcement training to transfer to the real world. My cousin Ray Wood joined the New York Police Department with the hope of providing the Black and Brown community an ally on the right side of justice. But instead, he became a pawn of the NYPD and FBI. Ray's letter is fully explained, along with verified timelines, in a new book, The Ray Wood Story. Proceeds from the NFT of Ray's letter, available on Friday, May 28, 2021, will go towards a scholarship encouraging individuals with an interest in civil rights and equality to receive a higher education on proper police conduct and criminal justice. With this scholarship, I hope we can help move the fight for justice closer towards law enforcement reform and help bring an end to police brutality against our communities."

The R Wood Family Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, tax ID 87-0861180. PH: 772-280-52661; info@rwoodfamilyfoundation.com

OMG Drops partners with celebrities, artists, and historians to release unique NFTs stored on the Ethereum blockchain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS).
