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.

Maximize Your Employee Benefits With These Three Tips

iQuanti: While most professionals may change jobs for better salaries and professional growth opportunities, a job transition can also bring a new benefits package. Professionals are sometimes so focused on the salary and role that they may miss out opportunities to get the best of the benefits being offered to them. It's important to take the time to evaluate the options provided - even more so if you haven't yet taken the job or are considering multiple job offers. Here are some tips that can help you maximize your employee benefits.

Find out what you're being offered

If you've already accepted the offer, this is an important step to take soon after you've joined the company. Review the full benefits package and get acquainted with exactly what's on the table. Some companies will offer a full breakdown of the benefits package during onboarding. If not, you can always reach out to someone from human resources and ask them to explain exactly what you're eligible for.

If you are weighing more than one offer, you may want to spend some time comparing the benefits packages and evaluating which one makes the most sense for you. Benefits packages may include health insurance, life insurance, retirement savings plans, flexible time off, and flexible working hours, among others. Different professionals may have varying priorities depending on their needs and lifestyle. 

Take advantage of employer matches

Most employers offer some type of tax-advantaged retirement savings plan, such as a 401(k). In some cases, your employer will match contributions up to a certain percentage or up to a dollar amount. If this option is available, it can be a good idea to make at least the minimum contribution required to secure the employer's matching contribution. For instance, if your annual salary is $40,000 and your employer will match contributions up to 4%, it makes sense for you to contribute $1,600 per year knowing that your account will receive another $1,600 from the company. 

Pay close attention to deadlines

Some employee benefits may come with different deadlines. In addition to open enrollment — where you must elect benefits within a set period or risk having to wait a year before you can enroll again - some benefits are elected outside of this period. This is sometimes true for reimbursements. Some companies offer reimbursements for gym memberships, upskilling or even meals and entertainment. Employees may need to submit bills by a certain date to be eligible for reimbursement. If you're not sure how this works, it can help to read any documents detailing the benefits policy closely or ask human resources about deadlines. 

Good benefits make for happy employees, but this is only true if you make use of the benefits offered. It's worth taking the time to explore the benefits package you're getting from your company and take advantage of the company's investment in you.
