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.

Wilson Auto Repair Completes Restoration of 1962 Ford Fairlane Once Owned by Automotive Legend, Carroll Shelby

Mike Shelby, the son of racing and automotive design legend Carroll Shelby, commissioned Barry Wilson of Wilson Auto Repair to restore the 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 that once belonged to his father. Wilson recently completed the revitalization work, and the car will become part of Mike Shelby's private collection.

(PRUnderground) April 10th, 2025

The eldest son of Carroll Shelby, Mike Shelby, inherited his father’s love of all things automotive. In the 1960s, Carroll Shelby transformed the Fairlane into a drag racing car. Later, the 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 had been in storage since 2002, but Mike recently decided to send it to Dallas for Barry Wilson to perform the revitalization work so he could drive it again.

Barry added a 710 horsepower Carroll Shelby 427 motor aluminum block, a Shelby innovation that is 45 percent lighter yet still stronger than the cast iron used in factory versions. It’s a naturally aspirated engine with lots of torque. He also modified the body to accommodate the large tires in the back, upgraded the suspension, installed a new transmission, and addressed the wiring issues.
Mike receives numerous requests from car clubs to bring cars and other items that belonged to his dad. This 1962 Ford Fairlane is sure to be a hit with Shelby fans and classic car enthusiasts alike.

As a finishing touch, Mike wanted the original top-loader four-speed transmission on display in the Fairlane’s trunk. So, instead of a cooler full of beer, Mike Shelby has a vintage transmission in the trunk of his Ford Fairlane.
Mike Shelby said, “This 1962 Ford Fairlane is special to me because my dad picked it out and drove it in the early days before he started designing the Cobras. It holds great memories of times with my father.”
