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.

Eastern Michigan University Names eCampus.com as Official Online Bookstore Partner

New partnership to launch Fall 2025, delivering enhanced affordability, convenience, and support for students and faculty.

(PRUnderground) July 1st, 2025

Eastern Michigan University (EMU) has announced a new partnership with eCampus.com, naming the company as the university’s official online bookstore beginning in the Fall 2025 semester. The collaboration is designed to enhance the student and faculty experience by streamlining access to required course materials while improving affordability and convenience.

Located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, EMU serves nearly 13,000 students across undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral, and certificate programs. The decision to partner with eCampus.com reflects the university’s commitment to supporting student success through innovative academic solutions. eCampus.com was selected for its proven experience in the edtech space and its ability to deliver high-quality, affordable course materials through a user-friendly online platform.

Through a customized online storefront, EMU students will gain immediate access to professor-assigned textbooks and digital resources via a single sign-on process. They will be able to choose from a variety of cost-saving options including new, used, rental, and digital formats. A dedicated Marketplace will further expand affordability by offering competitively priced materials from third-party sellers. With the added value of a price match guarantee, free shipping to campus, dedicated customer support, and easy returns accepted up to 30 days after the start of classes, students will benefit from a flexible and reliable system tailored to both academic and financial needs.

Faculty at EMU will also experience significant advantages through the partnership. The eCampus.com FAST adoption platform will serve as a centralized hub for researching and selecting course materials from a catalog of more than 10 million titles. Faculty will have the ability to compare prices, track adoption history, make real-time updates, request desk copies, and create custom materials—all from within one system. Additionally, the platform’s student readiness dashboard offers real-time insights into purchasing behavior, helping instructors better support their classes.

To ensure a smooth transition, eCampus.com will provide EMU faculty with dedicated account management, personalized faculty training, and ongoing support. University leadership will also have access to robust analytics tools designed to inform decisions at both the departmental and institutional levels.

“We’re excited to welcome eCampus.com to EMU’s campus,” said Walter Kraft, vice president of communications at EMU. “Having a bookstore with a national presence and reputation such as eCampus.com will bring great benefits and ease of service to our students and faculty. We look forward to how eCampus.com will enhance the book selection and purchasing experience.”

This partnership highlights EMU’s ongoing commitment to delivering a seamless and modern academic experience, emphasizing the importance of innovation in education while ensuring that both students and faculty are fully equipped with the tools, resources, and support necessary to thrive in today’s learning environment.

“At eCampus.com, we’re committed to empowering students by making educational resources more accessible,” said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com. “Through this partnership with Eastern Michigan University, we’re delivering an easy-to-use solution that ensures students have access to the right course materials—eliminating confusion, delays, and unexpected costs.”
