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.

Astrotourism is set to enjoy a £4.4bn boom – with Spain's monasteries among the brightest stars

By: PRLog
July 24, 2025 - PRLog -- When it comes to new holiday trends, things are literally looking up. Millions of holidaymakers are seeking out dark sky destinations away from the glare of city lights. The fascination of auroras, comets and constellations has become one of the biggest travel trends for 2025.

A leading travel expert says it's no wonder many tourists are swapping five-star hotels for the countless stars that can be seen from popular stargazing destinations such as the monasteries in the Pyrenees Mountains.

Johanna Jernberg, a leading tourism expert from Monasteries.com, says: 'From the Arctic Circle to New Zealand to the mountains of Spain, astrotourism is becoming a billion-pound trend. Last year, visitors spent over £620m experiencing the northern lights, while astrotourism is expected to generate a stellar £4.4bn by the end of the decade.

'Now a new online guide has revealed that Spain is one of the best countries from which to see the night sky, thanks to clear weather and lack of light pollution. Mountaintop monasteries offer some of the best places from which to gaze at the heavens.

Monestir de les Avellanes, Catalonia: 'Set among rolling vineyards and deep forests in the foothills of the Serra del Montsec (Lleida province), Monestir de les Avellanes offers a front-row seat to the cosmos. Montsec's pristine night skies have earned the area UNESCO recognition as one of the world's best places for stargazing. Just 20 minutes' drive away is Àger's Parc Astronòmic del Montsec, a certified Starlight Reserve.

Hostatgeria Monestir Sant Benet de Montserrat: 'If the Monestir de les Avellanes featured in the guide is unavailable, then just a 90-minute drive away is the spectacular monastery of Sant Benet de Montserrat. It stands in equally breathtaking scenery, high on a mountainside with uninterrupted, clear skies. Full board single rooms are available from £63.39 a night with views of the mountains.

Monasterio de la Purísima Concepción, El Toboso, Toledo: 'Neighbouring Toledo boasts a rich astrological history. Throughout the Middle Ages, it served as a cultural centre for astrological study and was home to many European and Moorish astrologers and astronomers. Star-seekers should check out Alcázar Fortress, which boasts both stunning views and an immersive museum with historical navigation and astronomy.

'The Monjas Trinitarias del Toboso offers a peaceful retreat. Individual ensuite rooms are available from just £35 a night, hardly an astronomical price, even at the height of August.

'There are galaxies more tips about the best locations to see the stars in Spain and how to stay in a monastery, in the new online guide: https://www.monasteries.com/en-GB/travel-inspiration/stargazing-in-spain-5-monastery-stays-for-serene-starry-nights
