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.

Expert Tips for Building a Sustainable Outdoor Entertainment Space

Enjoy outdoor living and entertaining year-round in a sustainable way - Softwoods explains how.

Building a beautiful, functional outdoor space can add value to any home and provide an elevated living and entertaining experience for homeowners. However, family-owned South Australian company and decking experts Softwoods explain that sustainability is becoming an increased priority for many renovators and homeowners. Here, Softwoods shares their top tips for creating a sustainable outdoor space.

According to Softwoods, beginning with an overall design plan will ensure the outdoor space looks good and functions in a way that meets the family's needs and supports their hobbies. Having a solid plan in place will also ensure the overall design is cohesive and will help to determine a budget.

Softwoods explains that in general, renovators and landscapers should opt for sustainable or recycled materials for al fresco features when building a sustainable outdoor area. This includes using timber products as much as possible as the energy required to manufacture them is minimal and they have a very low carbon footprint. Pergolas and decking areas can also feature recycled materials where possible.  

Including low maintenance and low water grass alternative ground covers such as gravel, bark, wood chips and mulch is an eco-friendly move. For those who prefer a living ground cover, Softwoods suggests looking for low water options to lower the water bill and reduce overall water consumption.

Landscape lighting is an important part of designing an outdoor living area. Softwoods says it is very easy to make greener choices with outdoor lighting by avoiding older, halogen lights and choosing either solar lights or LED outdoor lights.

When it comes to outdoor furniture, Softwoods suggests looking for quality products that are built to last and made from sustainable or recycled materials. Wherever possible, seek out local companies to support the local economy. 

There are plenty of ways to build a stunning, yet practical outdoor living area without compromising on sustainability. For more information on environmentally conscious outdoor building practices or to get started on a project, contact Softwoods today.
