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.

Speaking Another Language Can Improve Your Romantic Prospects, Study Reveals

66% of US singles would "swipe right" on someone who speaks more than one language, a recent poll from Lingoda finds.

Dating and languages

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Lingoda, one of the top global online language schools, revealed in a new study that being bilingual can make you more attractive to others on dating apps. In a poll of 1,000 single and actively dating adults in the U.S., 66% of participants stated that they are more likely to "swipe right" on someone if they speak more than one language. 

And nearly half of poll respondents (45%) admit that they have lied about speaking another language fluently on their dating profile. 

Among 25- to 34-year-olds, bilingual singles may fare even better. In this group, 77% stated that they are more likely to "swipe right" on someone if they speak more than one language. But beware: a majority of the respondents in this group (54%) say they've lied about speaking a language fluently on their dating profile.

So does this mean that being bilingual makes you more attractive? And should you lie about your language skills to improve your romantic prospects? 

"In our recent survey, we did not ask the participants why being bilingual was an attractive or desirable characteristic for potential partners to have," says Philippa Wentzel, Lingoda's Curriculum Team Lead. "But research shows that speaking more than one language enables you to navigate more than one culture, and you model the values and attitudes of the cultures of the languages you speak. Language skills allow you to view and experience the world in more than one way," she says. 

"In dating, we may perceive someone who is bilingual as more interesting, or more 'deep' - along with other benefits of bilingualism. At Lingoda, we believe in a communicative approach to language learning: mastering a language means being able to speak it with confidence, which is also often something that we look for in a prospective partner. Our language lessons also focus on real-life language and cultural context, which means that you can impress your potential date with conversations in another language without even having to lie about it", says Wentzel.
