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.

From Vernon Hills to Mensa Before Kindergarten

By: PRLog
Preschooler's story highlights both rare ability and challenge of nurturing gifted kids in everyday life

CHICAGO - Aug. 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Snack time, story time, and induction into Mensa: One of these activities usually isn't on a 3-year-old's schedule.

For Zorien Royce of Vernon Hills, it was. Zorien, who just turned 4 this month, earned an IQ score of 156 out of 160 on the WPPSI-IV Wechsler test, placing him in the "profoundly gifted" range. His psychologist described the result as "awestruck" — noting how rare it is for a child to come so close to maxing out the scale at his age.

By age 2, Zorien was spelling words like hippopotamus and alligator and could count forward and backward to 100. Today, he reads independently at a second- to third-grade level and is tackling three-digit multiplication and fractions.

A Head Start in Learning

Zorien is also excelling in Kumon, an international after-school program with local learning centers that focus on math and reading mastery. He has already reached Platinum level in both subjects — working more than three years above grade level — and was one of only two students from his center selected for the 2025 Kumon Global Virtual Student Conference.

More Than Numbers

Despite his accelerated abilities, Zorien's parents emphasize balance. "We want to make sure Zorien enjoys being a child, plays, laughs, and grows emotionally alongside his intellectual journey," said his father, Md Naqib Alam Ansari.

Outside the classroom, Zorien is an energetic soccer player, swimmer, and Lego builder who calls the library his "favorite place in the world." He is fluent in English and Bengali, with early exposure to Spanish, Hindi, and French. Asked what he wants to be when he grows up, he doesn't hesitate: "A NASA scientist."

A Local Story of Potential

The son of two professionals who immigrated from Kolkata, India, Zorien is being raised in Vernon Hills with strong support from his family, educators, and mentors. "Our goal isn't to push him but to give him the right environment," said his mother, Monirupa Ananya. "His journey, we hope, inspires other children and families to embrace curiosity and learning with joy."
