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.

Word Game Peference Test: Would you rather load a dishwasher or soar above a forest? What does Artificial Intelligence think?

By: PRLog
Scrabble (tm Hasbro) vs. WildWords: Google AI speaks it's mind unencumbered by sentimental memories of challenging grandma. Others get more emotional.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Sept. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- And the results are:

From The Mind Of Google  [verbatim]

Choose WildWords if...
You find Scrabble too restrictive or punishing with difficult letter combinations. You enjoy games with more room for creative wordplay and higher-risk, higher-reward plays. You want a more forgiving and relaxed word game experience.

Stick with Scrabble if...
You prefer a more traditional and competitive word game where memorizing specific short words and high-point letters is a key skill. You enjoy a more methodical, less chaotic approach to word-building.

Overall, WildWords is a clever variation that adds a fun, wild twist to the classic crossword format. While diehard Scrabble players might prefer the stricter rules of the original, many people who enjoy word games appreciate WildWords for its higher accessibility and creative freedom.

While Google is not alone in its praise, humans get more emotional.

A New Yorker writes: "Scrabble, schmabble ... Thanks for all you have done to make my life way more exciting with long interesting creative words on this board and thinking way outside the box to win. Finally a game where poets and wild thinkers can win, rather than spreadsheet-oriented rule-followers!"

A competitive couple: "One thing we like - it's really a crap shoot, and our games are sometimes very close, while other times one of us just slaughters the other. I'm inclined to "bomb" every play I possibly can, where her strategy is denser."

A daredevil: "I think Scrabble is more for knitters and stamp collectors. WildWords is more for bungee jumpers and skydivers."

Lost his friends but now they're found: "I adore this game! I'm a pretty serious Scrabbler--not tournament level, but I love the game and take it a mite too seriously. This is a different game entirely. Double and triple words matter, but the real challenge and joy to this game is using all of your tiles. Plus, none of my friends will play Scrabble with me anymore, but they'll try this game. Sometimes they even win!"
