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.

Jicarilla Apache Nation Makes History by Appointing Home Inspector Role to Ensure Fair Business Practice on Reservation

AHIT-trained home inspector Veryl Chavez becomes the first-ever home and building inspector to serve his native Tribe, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, in Dulce, New Mexico. Chavez became an inspector after spending more than two decades working in construction on and around the nearly 880,000-acre reservation that he and over 3,000 Nation members call home.

Chavez's role isn't just a new livelihood for himself and his family. It's a key position appointed by the Tribal Council to ensure the fair business practices of building contractors who work on the reservation.

At a Tribal Council meeting one day, there was discussion about the need for someone to oversee contractors who worked regularly on the reservation. There was concern that residents could easily be taken advantage of because of frequent communication barriers.

Word had traveled that Chavez had amassed years of valuable experience in construction and management. Plus, his fluency in four languages meant he could improve communication challenges. Tribal Council offered Chavez the job.

"I had to get trained up and certified fast," Chavez said, "so I Googled 'building inspector training' and American Home Inspectors Training (AHIT) was the first thing to pop up. I researched on the site and then called a career advisor." 

Chavez completed AHIT's online and live home inspection field training courses to prepare for his national and state licensing exams. He took the four-hour National Home Inspector Examination® (NHIE) shortly after completing his training with everything fresh in his head — and with the help of Home Inspector Exam Prep By AHIT. He passed the exam with flying colors on the first try (no easy feat!). 

Chavez has now worked as the Nation's building inspector for four years and has earned certifications in radon inspectionmold inspection, and asbestos inspection. He plans to take AHIT's Commercial Inspection Course soon. 

Through his work, Chavez has helped improve communication between the reservation's homeowners and outside contractors. He's an important safeguard, ensuring that fair business practices are happening, and that proper construction work is being done for his fellow residents. Chavez says his home inspection career has also given him important work-life balance.

"I have more time with my family, including my wife and three children, and for my service as a cultural clan leader. It has given me the opportunity to better myself, not only for me and my family, but for my Nation."
