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.

Research Reveals Who Was Affected by the 2022-2023 Tech Layoffs

Comprehensive Study Provides Surprising Insights Regarding the Age, Gender, Job Title, and Work Experience of Those Laid Off

Research by the online learning platform 365 Data Science reveals surprising findings about the 2022-2023 tech layoffs. The team analyzed data from 1,157 public LinkedIn profiles to examine the characteristics of those laid off from tech companies.

The study helps understand who was affected and provides a distinct view of the reasons behind the layoffs and their impact on the job market. It also answers vital questions: Are the layoffs equally distributed between age groups and genders? How many workers found jobs? Who is still on the job market in 2023?

Tech companies—especially the giants—were on a hiring spree as the world moved online during the pandemic. But this over-hiring isn't sustainable in the current economic situation. In preparation for the recession, many resorted to mass layoffs. 

Over 150,000 people were affected in 2022, and the wave continues, with more than 68,500 new job cuts in January 2023 alone. Is this an attempt to cut down the employee count to pre-pandemic levels? 

The new research suggests there might be more reasons behind the layoffs. 

The 365 Data Science team examines various characteristics of the laid-off employees—such as level of education, work experience, time on the job, and position—to find other explanations. The results are available in 365 Data Science's study report

One significant finding is that the laid-off employees are educated and experienced—ruling out the hypothesis that employers let go primarily junior or inexperienced workers.

So, what factors might've influenced the selection criteria? 

Interestingly, the largest group of laid-off employees in the study sample did not hold tech positions. Find out which teams were most impacted and read the analysts' insights deducted from the data. 

Is it possible that specific jobs are beginning to be automated? Could that be part of the reason for the layoffs? 

Microsoft and Google have already announced their plans to invest in AI-powered solutions like ChatGPT—so this seems like a viable explanation, although it certainly isn't the only one. 

The study provides more insights into the characteristics of laid-off employees and the possible selection criteria. It also reveals that current layoffs are a considerable step back regarding equality and fairness in the tech sector.
