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.

New Slotozilla Tool Helps Americans Find the Most Affordable Cities to Live Based on Their Income

By: PRLog
PHILADELPHIA - July 23, 2025 - PRLog -- With housing costs rising by over 6% nationwide in 2024 and rent prices in major cities exceeding $2,000/month, Americans are feeling the financial squeeze. In response, Slotozilla has launched a groundbreaking interactive analytical tool designed to help users identify where they can afford to live—based on their actual income and lifestyle needs.

The new tool, available now at Slotozilla, provides personalized insights on city affordability using real-time economic data, and is already drawing attention for its usability, accuracy, and relevance in today's cost-conscious climate.

Understanding the Purpose: Why This Tool Matters

In today's economic climate, affordability has become a top concern for millions of Americans. The cost of rent, food, transportation, and other essentials varies drastically from city to city. Until now, most calculators have failed to reflect the personal reality of individuals' income and expenses.

The new Slotozilla tool changes that.

Purpose
To give people a clear, personalized view of which U.S. cities offer the best value for their income—based on the latest data from 2024 and 2025.

What You'll Learn or Do:
  • Discover which cities fit your budget
  • Compare living costs and average rent by income level
  • Make informed relocation or budgeting decisions

What the Tool Does: Features and Benefits

The tool evaluates affordability by factoring in:
  • Your current income
  • Average monthly rent
  • City-wide cost-of-living index

Users simply enter their income to get:
  • A ranked list of U.S. cities, from most to least affordable
  • Interactive maps and graphs that visualize cost differences
  • Data that reveals where you'll get the most for your money

Key Insights You Can Use

Slotozilla's analysis of 2024-2025 data reveals some compelling findings:

Affordable hotspots for under $50,000/year incomes include:
  • Knoxville, TN
  • Des Moines, IA
  • Fort Wayne, IN
  • High-income havens (over $120,000/year) where quality of life is worth the price:
    • Denver, CO
    • Seattle, WA
    • Austin, TX
  • Hidden gems: Cities like Chattanooga, TN, and Boise, ID, offer strong affordability for middle-income earners working remotely.

Most people rely on guesswork or outdated assumptions when deciding where to live. "Our tool uses real, updated economic data to give people clarity—and potentially save them thousands of dollars each year."

Designed for Everyone: From Young Professionals to Retirees

Whether you're:
  • A college graduate looking to relocate
  • A family exploring better living conditions
  • A retiree trying to maximize your savings
  • A remote worker wanting more value from your paycheck

This tool provides real, actionable insight tailored to your situation.

And it's not just for planning a move-users can also compare their current city's affordability to others, helping them make better financial decisions without packing a single box.

Why This Matters Now

With more people working remotely and rethinking where they live, affordability is now a top factor in relocation decisions. Whether you're a recent college grad, a family of four, or a retiree, this tool equips you to:
  • Compare your income against living expenses nationwide
  • Find budget-friendly cities that still match your lifestyle
  • Plan a move that makes financial sense in 2025 and beyond
