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.

This comprehensive resource highlights the most trusted hardwood flooring brands and equips homeowners with the knowledge needed to make confident, style-forward decisions.

Expert Guidance Meets Trusted Brand Performance

In today's competitive market, quality matters. The newly published guide emphasizes leading hardwood brands that consistently earn glowing reviews—Mohawk, Shaw, Mirage, Bruce, and Mannington—and explains why they stand out in areas like durability, finish quality, and customer satisfaction.

  • Proper subfloor moisture testing and plank acclimation
  • Dust-controlled sanding technologies
  • Low-VOC finishes to protect indoor air quality
  • Experienced installation techniques that safeguard warranties and ensure quality in every square foot

Spotlight on 2025 Flooring Trends

Design-savvy homeowners are embracing:
  • Wide-plank and extra-long flooring for a modern, expansive aesthetic—requiring skilled installation for stability
  • Matte and natural-toned finishes that complement minimalist and Scandinavian interiors while hiding scuffs
  • Waterproof rigid-core engineered options like Mohawk SolidTech and Bruce HydroGuard, which offer scratch and moisture resistance—ideal for pet-friendly households and high-traffic zones

Why Local, Certified Expertise Matters

Beyond brand insights, Premier Custom Hardwood Flooring highlights the value of working with a locally certified craftsman:
  • Skills tailored to Chicago Northwest suburbs' unique climate conditions
  • Tools and procedures that preserve air quality and structural integrity
