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.

Considering a Career Change?

iQuanti: Changing careers or transitioning into a new role can be challenging — especially if you don't know where to begin. Before you start applying to jobs and editing your resume, here are ten things to think about:

1. Will you have to start at entry level? Depending on the job and industry, you may have to start at the bottom of the ladder. Starting from scratch can be intimidating, but it can be worth it if the job pays off in the long run or brings you closer to your goals. 

2. What is the pay difference? Do some research to figure out what this new role would pay and compare it to your current salary. Maybe it's more than you're making now. If not, consider how long it would take for you to make up the difference; it may help to weigh this against other potential rewards, such as job satisfaction and career fulfillment. 

3. What about benefits? How will a career change affect your benefits package? Research what kind of benefits and perks are available in this new industry. If you have to go freelance at first, will you need to get your own health insurance, dental, or life insurance? If this is the case, you may want to see what options are available and how they'll factor into your budget — will you need to get a health insurance policy from the marketplace? Is this the time to consider whole life insurance?

4. Do you need to learn any additional skills? The skillset required for your new career may differ slightly from your current role. Consider what your skill gap might be and how you can learn these new skills. Do you have to go back to school full- or part-time? Are there online courses and qualifications that can help you? 

5. How can you translate your existing skills into this new role? What skills have you learned throughout your career? Chances are, they don't just apply to one industry. Think about the transferable skills that could help bring value to your new career and highlight these on applications, resumes, cover letters, and during interviews.

6. Will you have to relocate? Depending on the job, this may be a requirement — particularly if the industry is concentrated in one place. Before making any decisions, consider how relocation will impact your lifestyle, finances, and personal circumstances. 

7. Work-life balance and flexibility. What is the work culture like in this new industry? Is it relaxed or do employees tend to work long hours? Research the working hours, holidays, overtime, and flexible options available in this industry. Think about how this will affect the amount of free time you have outside of work, and whether it works for your lifestyle. 

8. Job security. Consider the stability of the job market in your new prospective career — is there a lot of competition or is it a fast-growing industry? Do layoffs happen often? Is the industry stable overall?

9. Opportunities for advancement. How easy is it to climb the career ladder in your new industry? It can help to think a few steps ahead — are there any training opportunities that can help you progress into higher positions? 

10. Networking and contacts in the industry. If you're switching careers, it's worth connecting with people who already work in the industry to get advice and insights into their own experiences. You can reach out to your current network, find connections online, or attend networking events. Getting individual perspectives can be incredibly valuable when making a decision as big as this one.  

These are just some of the considerations when looking at a career change. If you're serious about making the switch, make sure to do your research, think carefully, and weigh all options before making your decision.
