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.

‘Vampires Of Portlandia’: Jason Tanamor Reimagines Filipino Folklore In A Supernatural Pacific Northwest Tale

Blending myth, culture, and modern fantasy, Tanamor’s darkly inventive novel explores identity, belonging, and the monsters that unite—and divide—us.

(PRUnderground) October 21st, 2025

Acclaimed Filipino-American author Jason Tanamor brings a thrilling fusion of folklore and urban fantasy to life in “Vampires of Portlandia,” a genre-bending tale that transports readers from the Philippines to the eccentric streets of Portland, Oregon. With a cast of supernatural beings, a deep cultural heartbeat, and a narrative that questions what it means to belong, Tanamor’s novel has been hailed as both a gripping fantasy and a poignant exploration of identity.

When matriarch Marcella Leones relocates her family of aswang—shape-shifting vampires from Filipino mythology—to Portland, she hopes to shield them from persecution. Her dying wish is simple: for her descendants to live peacefully among humans. But after she passes, her grandson Percival inherits her powers and her promise. When a mysterious rise in murders threatens to expose their existence, Percival and his love interest Penelope Jane must uncover who broke the aswang covenant—and why.

As the investigation unfolds, they discover that Portland’s supernatural underworld runs far deeper than imagined, teeming with were beasts, witches, ghouls, and viscera who have long called the city home. What follows is an atmospheric, fast-paced tale that blends Filipino legend with modern sensibilities, creating a world where myth and reality coexist—often uneasily.

“’Vampires of Portlandia’ is about more than monsters,” says Tanamor. “It’s about immigration, family, and the struggle to find community when you feel like an outsider. The aswang are metaphors for cultural identity—they’re trying to survive in a world that doesn’t understand them.”

Known for his distinctive voice and fearless storytelling, Tanamor has crafted a fantasy that’s as socially conscious as it is supernatural. Readers who enjoyed “The Witcher” or “American Gods” will find similar layers of myth and meaning—woven here through a distinctly Filipino lens. The book also celebrates the growing diversity of speculative fiction, offering representation and cultural nuance rarely seen in vampire lore.

With rich world-building, complex characters, and a narrative pulsing with heart and heritage, “Vampires of Portlandia” cements Jason Tanamor as a unique voice in modern fantasy. It’s a story that dares to ask: what if the monsters we fear are just trying to live like us?
