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 Weighs In on the Most Popular Home Design Trends for 2026

By: PRLog
SAN PEDRO, Calif. - Sept. 17, 2025 - PRLog -- Silva Construction today shares its expert predictions on the most popular home design trends that are poised to define residential spaces in 2026.

1. Indoor-Outdoor Living
In 2026, expect to see more integration between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large folding or sliding doors, outdoor kitchens, and living areas that flow into landscaped gardens are in high demand. Natural materials: stone, wood, and even indoor greenery, are being brought indoors to create more harmony with nature.

2. Sustainable & Low-Maintenance Materials
From reclaimed wood flooring to energy-efficient windows and low-VOC paints, sustainability is going mainstream. Homeowners are choosing materials and finishes that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing style or durability.

3. Smart Homes & Integrated Technology
Homes are becoming smarter. Automated lighting, climate control, security systems, and voice-controlled appliances are no longer luxuries. They're becoming common. In addition, hidden tech (like charging stations and built-in audiovisual systems) is being seamlessly incorporated into design.

4. Flexible Spaces & Multi-Function Rooms
With remote work, hybrid schooling, and multigenerational living, flexibility is essential. Rooms that can serve multiple purposes, such as guest rooms doubling as offices, or living rooms that convert to yoga or media studios, are on trend. Furniture that adapts (fold-down desks, movable partitions) plays a big role.

5. Warm Minimalism & Textured Finishes
Minimalism is getting an update. Clean lines and uncluttered layouts remain popular, but clients are requesting more warmth—textured surfaces, warm neutrals, layered lighting, and tactile materials like woven fabrics and natural fibers.

6. Statement Kitchens & Elevated Bath Spaces
The heart of the home; kitchens, are becoming showpieces. Big islands, bold backsplashes, mixed-metal hardware, and custom cabinetry are all gaining ground. Bathrooms too are being designed as spa-like retreats, with freestanding tubs, large walk-in showers, and upscale fixtures.

7. Color Revival & Bold Accents
After years of neutral palettes, 2026 is bringing color back. Jewel tones, moody greens, deep blues, and even tonal accents (on cabinetry or feature walls) are being used to create focal points. Accent lighting also helps highlight architectural features or color pops.

Increased Property Value: Thoughtful updates aligned with current design sensibilities help homes stand out in the market.

Enhanced Livability: Designs that prioritize comfort, adaptability, and aesthetics make everyday living more enjoyable.

Sustainability & Efficiency: Choosing eco-friendly materials and smart systems not only lowers utility costs but also contributes to environmental stewardship.
