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.

CTEK Powers Your Summer Adventures – Wherever The Road (Or Trail) Takes You

Stay charged and in control with CTEK’s smart battery solutions for every summer journey

(PRUnderground) July 23rd, 2025

This summer, as adventurers and families hit the road and trail for summer travel including off-roading, camping, UTVing, and motorcycle trips, CTEK is helping them stay charged and stress-free. According to AAA and travel surveys, over 80% of Americans say they’ll hit the road this summer, with more than 60% planning trips over 300 miles, and record-breaking 61.6 million Americans traveling by car just over Fourth of July—making reliable battery care not a luxury, but a necessity. With CTEK’s CS FREE® adaptive booster and MXS 5.0™ smart charger, drivers and outdoor adventurers won’t be sidelined by battery issues—no matter how long the journey or how remote the destination.

Whether drivers are taking their RV off-grid, hauling their UTVs deep into the backcountry, or road-tripping on two wheels, a dead battery can ruin the moment. CTEK’s CS FREE is the first truly portable charger with Adaptive Boost technology, giving drivers the power to start and recharge their battery in less than 15 minutes and without needing to plug into the grid. USB-C and solar panel compatibility mean drivers are never out of options, even in the middle of nowhere.

For pre-trip prep or weekend maintenance, the MXS 5.0 offers professional-grade charging and battery conditioning for cars, motorcycles, UTVs, and more. It’s the go-to charger for extending battery life and preventing surprise breakdowns—before you hit the highway or head into the hills.

Whether you’re planning a quick weekend escape or a coast-to-coast adventure, preparation is key to a smooth, safe road trip. Before you drive, give your vehicle the attention it deserves. CTEK shares essential tips to prepare for your summer road trip

Test and Charge Your Battery

A dead battery is the #1 reason for roadside breakdowns. Use a smart charger like the CTEK CS FREE® or MXS 5.0 to test, maintain, or charge your vehicle’s battery before you leave. These chargers also condition the battery, extending its life and performance.

CTEK Tip: The CS FREE® is portable, making it ideal for topping up your battery on the go—no outlet required.

Check Your Lights and Electronics

Make sure all interior and exterior lights work. Modern vehicles have many electronic systems drawing power even when parked. A weak battery can’t always handle the load.

CTEK Tip: Use the CTEK Time To Go® feature to know exactly how long until your battery is fully charged, so you’re never left guessing.

Inspect Your Tires

Check for proper pressure, tread wear, and any visible damage. Don’t forget the spare!

Top Off All Fluids

Check oil, coolant, windshield washer, and transmission fluids. If you’re towing or going off-road, make sure your vehicle’s cooling system is up to the task.

Power Up Accessories

From GPS and phones to UTV batteries and power banks—ensure everything is charged and bring portable chargers. The CS FREE® can also be used to charge other devices via USB-C and 12V output.

Pack Emergency Gear

Include a portable battery charger, flashlight, first aid kit, tire repair kit, and basic tools. A CTEK charger ensures you’re ready to handle unexpected starts.

Travel Light but Smart

Don’t overload your vehicle—especially important for electric or hybrid vehicles where added weight can impact range and performance.

Pro Tip: If your car has been sitting for a while before your trip, plug in your CTEK charger a day or two in advance to recondition the battery and maximize reliability.

Drive Confidently with CTEK

CTEK smart chargers and accessories are designed for life on the road—keeping your battery strong, your tech charged, and your journey uninterrupted.

Whether you’re camping off-grid, hitting the dunes, or cruising scenic highways, CTEK is the power behind your adventure. Keep your batteries healthy and your plans on track—all summer long.
