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.

Teach Access—a non-profit that began as a 100% volunteer grassroots effort between education, industry, and disability advocacy organizations to address the critical need to enhance students' understanding of digital accessibility, has welcomed its fourth full-time employee, director of education, Rolando Méndez-Fernández.

Méndez-Fernández brings 18 years of experience in higher education and is currently completing a doctorate of Management in Organizational Leadership. During his time with the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico, Méndez-Fernández served in various roles related to teaching and learning, faculty development, instructional design, student services, quality assurance, and technology adoption. In addition, for the past six years, he has been engaging educators in Puerto Rico in adopting inclusive, user-centered practices and creating learning experiences that accommodate the needs and preferences of all learners.

"I am beyond thrilled for Rolando to join the Teach Access team," said the executive director, Kate Sonka. "I've long admired his work across the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico system to support faculty development, specifically in online education and inclusive learning. I know that many in the online learning community admire the thought and care he brings to all of his work. I am eager to see how his knowledge and talents will contribute to our mission."

As the director of education, Méndez-Fernández will lead a nationwide faculty professional development program to support faculty in teaching about accessibility, oversee the creation and curation of teaching materials and resources in the Teach Access curriculum repository, in addition to helping ongoing work with national accreditation organizations increase accessibility representation in their guidelines and resources.

Additionally, he will work to scale and develop new and existing programs for students and faculty that include Study Away, a program that brings students, faculty, and industry partners together to explore the field of accessibility, Faculty Grants, monetary awards to higher education faculty to develop curriculum enhancements that introduce the fundamental concepts and skills of accessibility into their existing courses, and new Student Ambassadors and Faculty Fellowship programs.
