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.

Secret gardens – how to visit Europe's little-known but breathtaking monastic gardens

By: PRLog

Sept. 20, 2024 - PRLog -- Traditionally, the cloisters, kitchen gardens and herb beds of Europe's monasteries were places for monks and nuns to meditate and work. Today, however, many monasteries and abbeys are throwing open their garden gates to growing numbers of tourists and volunteers, reveals a leading travel expert.

Lily Smith, from Monasteries.com, says: 'Since the dawn of monasticism in the 6th century, gardens have been an integral part of monastic life. Traditional monastic enclosed gardens have roots dating back to Persian paradise gardens and, for centuries, their cloisters have provided places for monks and nuns to meditate in tranquillity. Other areas of these gardens have grown foods to sustain the community and herbs such as sage, rue and hyssop. These were used to heal the sick, treating ailments ranging from digestive issues to headaches.

'For centuries, such gardens were off-limits to visitors but many monasteries now welcome guests who appreciate their beauty and significance and who can help to ensure their continued existence. Many monasteries and convents rely on donations and the sale of their garden produce, so every visit makes a difference.

'For people seeking a deeper engagement with monastic gardening, many communities also offer opportunities for retreats and volunteering. These allow participants to live and work alongside monks and nuns, learning firsthand about their horticultural practices.

'Here are four extraordinary monastic gardens that were once largely unknown but now allow tourists to visit and stay.

'Nestled in the heart of Florence, the Foresteria Valdese is a hidden gem that dates back to the 16th century. This former palazzo boasts a stunning garden enclosed by a portico with cross-vaulted ceilings. The garden's ancient origins are evident in its timeless beauty, with lush greenery and quiet corners. Guests can stay in the palazzo's comfortable rooms and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of this historic site.

'Perched on the shores of Lake Garda, the Locanda al Santuario offers breathtaking views and a serene garden retreat. This former monastery has been transformed into a welcoming hotel, complete with a terrace overlooking the lake. Rooms available from £92.28 (around $122) a night in October.

'Pay a visit to the beautiful Villa Crawford in Sorrento, which was once home to American writer Francis Marion Crawford (1854-1909). He fell in love with the town and made it his permanent residence. Today, the villa's lush gardens and elegant architecture testify to the novelist's taste. Rooms available from just £48.57 (around $64) in October.

'The unique accommodation site Monasteries.com provides a booking platform for religious orders with stays across Europe.
