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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

Announcing 2024 Book Discussion Series Selection & Celebrating Black-Owned Bookstores

By: PRLog

Reading for Understanding: Free Monthly Virtual Book Discussions to Promote Reading, Ongoing Learning and Critical Conversations

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - Nov. 7, 2023 - PRLog -- The Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation today announced the book selection of its 2024 monthly virtual book discussion series, Reading for Understanding.

"In January 2024, we will celebrate our fourth year and 44th book. Our truly nationwide team—from Vermont to Hawai'i—has planned an excellent year of monthly reading and celebration of black-owned bookstores.

The Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation doesn't sell books. We're not the authors of the books we're discussing. We're a group of passionate readers and learners that take time each month to read, prepare a discussion presentation for use during and as a public resource after the event.

Borrow, buy. Read, listen. We don't care how you get here, just get here if you can. Read the book and make time for the discussion—those are the only requirements. These are free events to promote reading, ongoing learning and critical conversations.

Our hope is that individuals, bookstores, libraries, universities will join us for the discussions and/or reuse our resources for their own discussions.  We use the book as a shared experience and the discussion as an opportunity to engage with others from around the world." – Randee Wilding, Chief Operating Officer

The Center's Reading for Understanding monthly book discussions are free and have two requirements: Read the book and make time for the discussion.
