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.

The Black Box™ Celebrates First Delivery of Subscriptions Since Relaunch, Spotlighting Black-Owned Businesses Nationwide

Why This First Delivery Matters

(PRUnderground) October 7th, 2025

As conversations around racial equity, cultural preservation, and economic empowerment take center stage in 2025, The Black Box™ has made a bold return to spotlight the innovation and creativity of Black-owned businesses. First launched in 2019 by entrepreneur Talei Hornback, The Black Box™ quickly became a cultural phenomenon, delivering curated products from Black-owned brands directly to consumers’ doorsteps, before pausing operations during the pandemic. Now, with subscriptions reaching doorsteps again, the brand marks a major milestone in its mission to empower and uplift Black entrepreneurship.

“This first delivery is a powerful reminder of why The Black Box exists,” said Hornback. “Black culture drives global culture, yet Black businesses still face barriers to visibility and scale. Seeing these boxes in the hands of our subscribers once again means our innovation, creativity, and excellence are not just celebrated—they’re supported in real time.”

A Cultural Shift In Motion

The timing of The Black Box’s first shipment since relaunch couldn’t be more significant. Recent studies show that Black entrepreneurs receive less than 2% of venture funding, despite contributing over $200 billion annually to the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, the cultural impact of Black creators continues to shape global trends in beauty, fashion, food, and wellness.

With this delivery, The Black Box™ demonstrates how everyday consumers can be part of the solution—bridging access, audience, and economic empowerment for Black-owned businesses.

What’s Inside

Subscribers to The Black Box received a curated collection of products from emerging and established Black-owned brands, offering a mix of beauty, lifestyle, and wellness items. Each product was chosen to highlight innovation and excellence while ensuring that every purchase directly supports small business owners. Past Black Box collections have been featured on notable platforms including BuzzFeed and Harper’s Bizarre, embraced by lifestyle influencers, and celebrated across major media platforms.

Future subscribers can choose between:

-Quarterly Subscriptions — Delivering a curated collection of Black-owned products every season.

-Single-Purchase Boxes — A flexible option for one-time gifting or personal discovery.

More Than a Box

The first delivery since relaunch reaffirms The Black Box’s mission: to be more than a subscription, but a platform for storytelling and cultural connection. Each box includes brand profiles and stories, giving subscribers a behind-the-scenes look at the entrepreneurs shaping the future of Black enterprise.

Hornback notes, “Every delivery is a chance to build a collective community of supporters who not only buy Black but champion the resilience and creativity of Black entrepreneurs.”

Availability

The Black Box is available for purchase now at www.gettheblackbox.com, continuing the momentum of this successful relaunch. Those interested have the opportunity to secure the Winter 2025 Release now through November 30, shipping the last week of December.
