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.

Grammy award winning Cuban-Canadian artist Alex Cuba releases its 11th studio album, "Indole"

By: PRLog
The Grammy, Latin Grammy, and Juno Award-winning Cuban-Canadian artist draws from his Afro-Latino Roots to transform sorrow into beauty

LOS ANGELES - Oct. 15, 2025 - PRLog -- Grammy Award winning Cuban-Canadian artist, Alex Cuba, has announced the release of his 11th studio album, Índole, set for release on November 7, 2025.

"Índole honours my afro-latin roots, and pays deep respects to the African diaspora and its infinite contributions to what is perceived and understood today as Latin Music all over the world. Índole in Spanish means nature, character, and the natural inclination of a person. I give thanks to my ancestors who have inspired these songs of joy and transformation. May this music make your souls dance, and your hearts sing." - Alex Cuba

Throughout his decades-long, critically triumphant career, GRAMMY Award-winning Cuban-Canadian artist, Alex Cuba, has masterfully united the worlds of sound and emotion to create timeless, vibrant music rooted in joy and positivity. On Índole, meaning the true nature of things, Cuba ventures into new emotional territory, embracing sorrow as a creative force. Drawing inspiration from the vast African influence on the colourful tapestry of Latin music, Cuba's Índole looks both inward and toward his heritage to create a body of work that paves his path back to joy in melody and lyric.

Continuing his tradition of uniting genres, continents, and experimentation under one sound, on Índole, Cuba offers cross-border collaborations that are distinct yet seamlessly united by his boundless creativity. Following the creative breakthrough of his 2021 album Mendó, where Cuba played every instrument himself, this new chapter sees him fully embracing what he calls "absolute creative control." "It's fascinating to feel that you can go to the studio, record everything yourself, and do it until it sounds exactly as you want," says Cuba. "That realization gave me power and reminded me why I fell in love with making music."

Rich in texture, tone, and rhythmic variety, the twelve tracks on Índole feature the soul and sophistication Cuba is known for, wrapped in the African influence on Latin music. Opening with "Espíritu Temba" (Old Man Soul), Cuba is joined by renowned Cuban percussionist and vocalist Roberto Vizcaíno Jr. on a percussive tribute to Afro-Cuban rhythms, a sound also featured in the expansive, horn-filled "Tiempo Para Vivir" (Time for Living), where Cuba reunites with GRAMMY winner Joaquin Betancourt and puts positivity at the forefront of life.

The Afro-Colombian influence glistens on "Nada es de Verdad" (Nothing Is Real), as Cuba joins Colombian tropi-pop giants Bacilos for an upbeat invitation to not take life too seriously, as it does on "Te Llevo Adentro" (I Carry You Within), a groove-filled love song featuring Colombian Vallenato master Chabuco. "Para Contarte Este Amor" (To Tell You This Love) weaves Afro-Peruvian elements into the upbeat and percussive, jazz-filled track.

The simplicity of lead single, "Palabras Vacías" (Hollow Words), blends breezy, island-inspired ease with a twist of Country that once made him hesitant to record it. "I had to live 27 years of a multicultural life to even think that a song like this could be mine," marvels Cuba. Now, it stands as a statement of strength, proof that restraint can be as powerful as grandeur.

With Índole, Alex Cuba continues to bridge continents, cultures, and emotions, bringing the rhythms of the Afro-Latin diaspora to the forefront of a project devoted to finding light in the dark. As he steps further into his creative freedom, his rare vulnerability infuses new meaning into his universal language of positivity and hope. Transforming pain into purpose, Índole captures the true nature of an artist unafraid to evolve. One whose music continues to reveal beauty in every corner of the human experience.

Índole will be available everywhere on Friday, November 7 2025
