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.

R&B Live Karaoke with Da Smitty Band to Deliver the Ultimate Live Music Experience

Where the Voice Meets the Vibe

(PRUnderground) October 14th, 2025

Get ready to turn up the volume, feel the soul, and take the stage — because one of the region’s most electrifying music experiences is back. The Rocky Mount Event Center is proud to announce the return of R&B Live Karaoke on Friday, October 17, 2025, an immersive night where the spotlight shines on the audience and the heartbeat of R&B takes center stage. After last year’s unforgettable event, which brought together passionate music lovers, soulful singers, and high-energy performances, this year’s show promises to deliver even bigger vibes, deeper grooves, and an evening that celebrates the essence of R&B like never before.

R&B Live Karaoke is more than just a karaoke night — it’s an interactive concert experience that transforms the stage into your own personal spotlight. Guests will have the rare opportunity to perform their favorite R&B classics and modern hits with a live performance by the Da Smitty Band, creating a dynamic atmosphere that feels like a professional show rather than a casual singalong. Hosting this one-of-a-kind experience are two of the region’s most recognizable voices, AK “The Voice” and D-Train from Power 95.5 FM, who will keep the energy high and the crowd engaged all night long. The Da Smitty Band’s soulful sound and powerful instrumentation will set the tone for an unforgettable evening filled with music, energy, and emotion.

The evening kicks off when doors open at 7:00 p.m., with the show starting promptly at 7:30 p.m. Multiple ticket options are available, allowing guests to tailor the experience to their preferences. College students, young professionals, and the City of Rocky Mount employees with valid identification can enjoy show-only admission, while general admission tickets offer the same access for the broader public. Those seeking a more elevated night out can choose VIP admission, which includes a show ticket with designated VIP seating, one buffet ticket, and a complimentary glass of champagne, beer, wine, or a specialty cocktail. For groups and those looking to celebrate in style, VIP table packages are available and include six show tickets with premium seating, a bottle of champagne or sparkling red wine (Licataa) for the table, an appetizer tray and dessert, buffet tickets for each guest, and a complimentary beverage for everyone in the party.

Beyond the music and performances, R&B Live Karaoke is designed to be a full night out. Guests can indulge in a variety of delicious food options available throughout the evening and enjoy a selection of adult beverages crafted to complement the vibrant, soulful atmosphere of the event. Whether you’re stepping up to the microphone to belt out a timeless classic or simply soaking in the live music with a drink in hand, this event promises an experience that blends entertainment, community, and unforgettable memories under one roof.

The Rocky Mount Event Center remains committed to delivering premier entertainment experiences that bring people together and celebrate the power of music. As the region’s go-to destination for live events, culture, and community gatherings, the venue continues to host dynamic programs that resonate with audiences and create moments that last long after the final curtain falls.
