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.

FlipAction and Lives and Life creator and founder Haifeng Mike Zhao, launches Lives and Life FlipAction, The World’s First Dream-Life Board and Trading Card Game. Mike has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years and has been an avid collector and sports fan for just as long. Mike also happens to be a US based CPA who worked at investment banks such as Morgan Stanley and several Global Fortune 500 firms before launching the brands.

Mike states, “I created the FlipAction name (USPTO Trademark live and pending) and concept in the early 2000s. FlipAction means to break inertia by flipping things upside down through a contrarian mindset turning limited resources into force multipliers. The concept is defined by distinctively customized strategies and nimble tactical performance. One example of this is supporting a large number of influencers with smaller audiences to gain the attention of star influencers who may otherwise be too costly to work with. I founded SOTSU Electronics, FlipAction and SOTSU FlipAction brands and came up with their name and concepts including all initial associated product specific names such as Universe Black. The first SOTSU and SOTSU FlipAction products were sold by me via email and social media including finding the brands’ first distributor and influencers to work with a minimal marketing budget. I also created SOTSU, the world’s first manufacturing business trading card game. During that time, I was working 17 hour days, seven days a week to bring the brand to life. No task was too small for me as everything for the brands from marketing, sales, operations, design, R&D, engineering, HR, logistics, cost accounting, business development, social media creation/growth/communications and everything legally permissible and/or morally ethical in between were either entirely done or reviewed by me.

I am now fully disassociated from and ultimately did not receive a legally/morally/ethically compliant safe work environment, credit, financial compensations nor ownership stakes I was promised from the Suzhou, China company that I saved from near bankruptcy due to mismanagement that now owns and runs the SOTSU Electronics and SOTSU FlipAction brands including from the brands themselves. I took my previous negative experiences in stride and a little over a year later, is able to turn it into positive energies by launching the FlipAction, Lives and Life and Lives and Life FlipAction brands and products.”
