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.

Pause the Flawed TFW System. Let's Build Canada's Hospitality Workforce at Home

By: PRLog
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Sept. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- Wyrk is calling on Ottawa to temporarily halt new Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) and study-permit streams until oversight improves. At the same time, Wyrk is urging the federal government to focus on mobilizing Canada's underused domestic workforce.

"With unemployment above 7% and youth unemployment near 15%, a domestic workforce exists," said Sarj Dhaliwal, CEO of Wyrk. "Instead of defaulting to quick fixes, let's pause, repair, and relaunch these programs and build a local pipeline now."

Why a Pause Is Needed
  • Integrity breaches are documented: CBC and investigative reports have exposed LMIA "jobs for sale" schemes for $25k–$45k.
  • Oversight gaps are real: ESDC found 116 employers in violation of TFW rules in 2022-23, with $1.54M in fines (proof of systemic risk).
  • Worker mobility matters: Closed, employer-tied permits make workers vulnerable to abuse and wage suppression, flagged by international labour groups.
"Tying legal status to a single employer creates a coercive environment," said Dhaliwal. "We can do better than 21st-century indentured servitude."

A Better Ready-Now Path
  • Regional Talent Pools: Pre-vetted hospitality staff available for call-outs, peaks, and seasonal demand.
  • Paid Practicums: College partnerships to turn students into job-ready hires.
  • "Already Here" Recruitment: Domestic students, recent grads, open-permit holders, and current workers.
  • Smart Scheduling Tech: Match shifts faster, keep staff longer.
"Give us 100 days across two regions," said Dhaliwal. "If we fill shifts faster than LMIA pipelines, scale it."

A call to action

Restaurants, hotels, chambers of commerce, schools can join Wyrk in building a transparent, ethical pipeline that puts Canadian youth and residents to work while pressing Ottawa for real reform.
