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.

University Games Rewards Otis College Student Game Design for Puppy Pile™

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) When University Games sponsored a contest to publish an original board game idea, a talented artist from Otis College of Art and Design scurried to gather they're fun dog themed concept to meet the deadline.

The result is University Games' new Puppy Pile™, the adorable puppy themed card game, which arrives in stores this month.

National Game Design Contest winner, Samantha Back, said "I would love for this game to impact the community by exposing children to strategy and math at an early age and developing skills without feeling like an educational game".

To play Puppy Pile ($13.99 for 2-4 players ages 6+) players must collect the most of one breed of puppy to win the game. However, players must look out for golden squeakers and angry kittens, which may give them an advantage or disadvantage to winning the game.

"Once again the students at Otis College of Art and Design never cease to impress me, creating incredible ideas and inspiring gameplay that reflect what a great game is meant to be." Craig Hendrickson, VP of Product Development for University Games, continued. "Puppy Pile stood out to me at first glance, with its unique gameplay and cute-styled artwork. I couldn't be more excited to publish this game."

This is the third year that University Games has sponsored its National Game Design Contest for the senior students at Otis College of Art and Design. "Our students benefit greatly from this professional experience of being mentored by experts in the category," stated Jennifer Caveza, Chair of Toy and Product Design at the college.

Last year's winner was University Games' Who Took My Nuts™, ($23.99 for 2-6 players ages 6+), a game where players must offer the squirrel the correct food or bluff their way to an acorn trade. The 2023 winner, Shoe Shoo Pigeons Game (MSRP $25,99 for 2-4 players ages 6+) is now in its third successful year on the market and can be found in many national retail chains.

Puppy Pile, Who Took My Nuts?, and Shoe Shoo Pigeons join other hot-selling University Games children and family games, including Dog Ate My Homework, Give 'Em The Finger, Irritable Vowels, Dog Man 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea, Dog Man The Scarlet Shedder Flip-O-Rama Game, and Pete The Cat Bedtime Blues Game, among many others.
