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.

Canvas Cloud AI Launches to Transform Cloud Education From Memorization to Mastery

By: PRLog
Founded by former Oracle veteran, the platform delivers AI-powered, visual, and interactive learning to close the cloud skills gap

STAMFORD, Conn. - Aug. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- After 21 years at Oracle, including a decade working with major enterprise customers, Kevin Brown has launched Canvas Cloud AI, a new platform designed to close one of the most persistent and costly gaps in technology: the difference between cloud certifications and real-world skills.

While cloud certifications have become the industry benchmark for hiring and promotions, they often test memorization rather than mastery. This gap leaves developers "certified but unprepared" and employees impacted by skill gaps lose up to 44 working days annually due to inefficiencies.

Canvas Cloud AI aims to solve this problem by making cloud education AI-powered, visual, and interactive. Instead of memorizing test questions or watching videos, developers learn by building real infrastructure, deploying applications, designing architectures, and solving hands-on challenges that mirror real cloud environments.

"Certifications create credentials, but not always confidence," said Kevin Brown, Founder of Canvas Cloud AI. "After two decades in big tech, I saw firsthand the frustration this creates for both developers and enterprises. Canvas Cloud AI was built to replace rote memorization with real mastery, so developers can succeed in the real world, not just on exams."

With cloud adoption accelerating across industries, the skills gap remains one of the biggest barriers to success. Canvas Cloud AI believes the next generation of cloud professionals won't be defined by test scores, but by what they can design, deploy, and deliver.

The platform is available now at canvascloud.ai, with a free trial for developers and enterprise packages for teams.
