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.

Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council Announces Value of Diverse Business Certifications Guide

New Free Resource Explaining City, State, Federal and Private Certifications for Missouri Businesses

ST. LOUIS - June 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council (Mid-States MSDC) and the Mountain Plains Minority Supplier Development Council (Mountain Plains MSDC) today announced the release of "The Value of Diverse Business Certifications" guide, a new tool developed by the two councils in partnership with other certifying entities in Missouri to get diverse business owners the answers they need so they can understand certification and decide if it's right for them and their business. 

The guide includes information and contributions on the various certifications from 14 different entities, including the St. Louis Small Business Administration, State of Missouri Office of Equal Opportunity, Bi-State Development, VetBiz, City of Kansas City, Mid-America Regional Council, Women's Business Development Center - Midwest, National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, St. Louis Lambert International Airport, Kansas City Area Transit Authority, Missouri Department of Transportation, Missouri Procurement Technical Assistance Center and the Mountain Plains and Mid-States MSDC's. 

It offers a new way for ethnic minorities, women, disadvantaged, veterans, and LGTBQ business owners to have a better understanding of certification and supplier diversity as well as help them identify the certification they need and the benefit.

"At our office, we receive calls every day from business owners looking for answers on certification and those answers can be as complex as the types of business owners in our community," says Carolyn Mosby, President/CEO at Mid-States MSDC. In addition, Stan Sena, President/CEO of the Mountain Plains MSDC says, "Businesses may be certified as minority-owned, women-owned, disadvantaged, veteran or LGBTQ. Certifying bodies may be national, regional, state-wide, city-wide, or specific to one area, like transportation. They may target the public sector or, like our organization, the private sector. It's a lot to take in, and it can be difficult to quickly share answers over the phone."

Some of the features of "The Value of Diverse Business Certifications" for Missouri guide include:

  • Understanding the different certifications in Missouri
  • How to become a certified business
  • Putting your certification to work

The guide also includes practical examples, tips, and advice from certification experts, a glossary of certification terms, and contact information for the various certifying entities. 

"The Value of Diverse Business Certifications" guide is available for free and can be downloaded online on the Mid-States MSDC website or the Mountain Plans MSDC website.
