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.

Modern Mill’s ACRE Wins Gold in Pro Builder’s 7th Annual Most Valuable Product (MVP) Awards

(PRUnderground) April 24th, 2025

Modern Mill is proud to announce that ACRE has been named a gold winner in the exteriors category of Pro Builder’s 7th Annual Most Valuable Product (MVP) Awards. This prestigious program recognizes the most innovative and impactful residential building products on the market today. Selected from more than 200 entries, Modern Mill’s ACRE siding was honored for its ability to address key industry challenges.

Made in Mississippi from domestically sourced upcycled rice hulls, ACRE is a tree-free wood alternative that combines the beauty and warmth of natural wood with the durability of modern composites.

Unlike high-maintenance wood siding, ACRE provides a low-maintenance solution that accepts paints and stains without primer and retains finishes significantly longer. Builders also value ACRE for its exceptional workability: it cuts cleanly with standard woodworking tools, produces no harmful dust, requires no pre-drilling, and is lightweight and easy to handle on the jobsite.

With long, consistent lengths and no knots, sap lines, or tannins, ACRE siding delivers a premium finish and is available in 12′, 16′, and 20′ lengths, giving builders flexibility to match project needs.

“Modern Mill products are designed to meet the needs of both builders and homeowners—offering the best of wood and composites in one evolutionary material,” said Chris Guimond, Chief Executive Officer at Modern Mill. “Being named an MVP product is an honor and a valuable milestone of our fast-growing impact in the industry.”

Pro Builder’s MVP Awards celebrate products that excel in design, performance, and true innovation. ACRE siding stands out as the next evolution in building materials, offering a practical, sustainable alternative to wood that benefits both builders and the environment.
