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.

Silva Construction Discusses the Benefits of Garage Conversions for Growing Families

By: PRLog
Clarke and co-owner Brenda Silva combine over 40 years of designbuild construction experience to help homeowners make smart renovation decisions.

SAN PEDRO, Calif. - Aug. 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Silva Construction, a general contractor based in Southern California, today highlights the growing trend of garage conversions as an innovative and cost-effective solution for expanding families seeking extra living space without relocating or building additions.

"As modern families adapt to evolving needs—whether it's a new baby, multi-generational living, or remote work—garage conversions offer a transformative way to create functional, stylish space without the time, cost, and zoning challenges of traditional additions," said David Clarke, co-owner of Silva Construction. "We're seeing more clients reinvent their garages into bonus rooms, home offices, play areas, or secondary suites—all tailored with quality craftsmanship."

Why Growing Families Are Choosing Garage Conversions

Budget-Friendly Expansion
Transforming an existing structure typically costs significantly less than adding a room or another level, while delivering comparable comfort and resale value.

Quicker Turnaround Times
Conversions are usually completed in weeks—not months—reducing disruption to family life and getting new space ready fast.

Maximized Versatility
A garage can be repurposed into a multifunctional space: from homework zones and craft rooms to teenage retreats or even accessible in-law suites.

Efficient Land Use
Rather than consuming backyard or yard space, conversions make smarter use of the footprint of an existing home.

Additional Perks for Homeowners

Increased Property Value: Thoughtful, well-executed conversions often yield excellent return on investment.

Customization Galore: Families can tailor layouts, finishes, and lighting to their own lifestyle—from modern minimalism to warm and cozy aesthetics.

Sustainability Edge: By reusing existing structures, conversions reduce construction waste and environmental impact.
