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.

Carbondale, CO Author Publishes Memoir

By: PR Leap
(PRLeap.com) "Aspen Odyssey: A Long Strange Trip…", a new book by Spencer F. Schiffer, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In the early 1970s, as the country grappled with political upheaval and cultural unrest, newly minted attorney Spencer F. Schiffer and his wife left New York in search of a simpler life. Their journey led them to Aspen, Colorado, a sleepy mountain town on the cusp of becoming an international playground for the wealthy and powerful.

What began as a winter of ski-bumming quickly evolved into a front-row seat to the forces that would reshape Aspen's identity. In his new memoir, Schiffer traces the unlikely chain of events that followed, from representing a wild mix of clients, including drug smugglers and Donald Trump, to witnessing the downfall of Aspen's largest landowner, Hans Cantrup, in 1983.

That bankruptcy set off a domino effect that would draw in an eclectic cast of characters: Donald Trump, poised to buy a key parcel of land for a luxury hotel; and Mohamed Hadid, a mysterious D.C. developer who appeared at the last moment with a $42 million wire transfer, funds that would later be tied to the SAAR Foundation, a group investigated for money laundering and links to terrorist organizations.

The tale winds through arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, the Iran-Contra affair, and ultimately, the Saudi royal family, who emerged as the town's largest landholders. Along the way, Schiffer explores Aspen's darker side, including the still-unsolved car bomb murder of local cocaine smuggler Steven Grabow in 1986.

Filled with twists of fate, powerful personalities, and behind-the-scenes intrigue, Schiffer's story is a riveting exploration of how a former mining town became an epicenter of wealth, scandal, and transformation.
