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.

Shincheonji Church Responds to Controversial Article in French Newspaper Le Parisien

By: PRLog

ADELAIDE, Australia - April 16, 2025 - PRLog -- Paris, France – On Tuesday, the Shincheonji Church of Jesus in France issued a statement addressing an article published by the daily newspaper Le Parisien on April 7, describing it as biased, unbalanced, and defamatory. The church particularly criticized the article for relying heavily on the testimony of an anonymous former member, while largely disregarding essential facts and the detailed response provided by the church.

The article, titled "They Treated Us Like Animals," is based primarily on personal claims from a former member, highlighting allegations such as training camps, isolation, and financial demands. According to the church, however, only two sentences from their extensive written response were included. "We diligently provided thousands of words in written answers to twelve questions sent to us in advance by the reporter—yet less than one percent of our response was actually used," stated a church spokesperson.

The church also expressed surprise at the rapid publication of the article, noting it appeared just four hours after their responses were submitted. This, they argued, suggests a deliberate campaign. "If written responses were insufficient, the reporter could have visited us to witness our faith in practice and speak directly with our members," the spokesperson added, emphasizing the church's ongoing willingness for open dialogue.

To provide a more balanced perspective, the church published personal testimonies from active members. Theresa (29), a member for six years, stated: "Faith is a voluntary choice. Here, I truly came to know God and learned how to live as a person of God in society." Axel (30) shared: "Before Shincheonji, I was searching for meaning in life. Now, I have a fulfilling mission, travel frequently, and even met my wife within the church."

Regarding the sensationalist headline, the church clarified: "None of us have ever been treated in such a manner. This wording was solely intended to sensationalize." Similarly, allegations of interference in personal relationships or physical punishment were firmly denied. The church explained that any cases of separation were due to personal decisions by the individuals involved, not initiated by the church.

The church also addressed the allegedly problematic use of a photograph, explaining that the image depicted a harmless scene taken before the individual's membership. The person shown remains an active member and has announced plans to take legal action against the unauthorized and misleading use of his image.

Concerning the mentioned "training camps," the church clarified these were voluntary, temporary programs aimed at spiritual growth, without any coercion or physical punishment. Such programs are currently no longer offered.

Claims regarding data collection, restrictions on internet usage, or family separations were also refuted by the church: "We collect only the minimal necessary information for pastoral care. Our members lead open lives within their families and society."

Regarding the term "ECA Academy," the church explained it was a temporary name used for a Bible study course in 2019, with its affiliation to Shincheonji Church of Jesus always transparently communicated.

The church urged media outlets to report more responsibly, include diverse perspectives, and respect religious freedom. "Biased reporting on specific religions can foster stigmatization and prejudice, infringing upon the right to religious freedom," said a church representative. The church reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and dialogue to foster better understanding.
