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.

Why Helping LGBTQ+-Owned Businesses Succeed Helps Everyone

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) The United States’ estimated 1.4 million LGBTQ+ business owners employ tens of thousands of Americans and contribute 1.7 trillion dollars to the national economy. However, barriers persist that make it harder for LGTBQ+-owned businesses to thrive.

Fortunately, some corporations and organizations in a position to make a difference recognize the vital role LGTBQ+ enterprises play. The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) was founded to address the unique financial and educational needs of LGBTQ+-owned businesses, and to showcase the diversity of talent in the community. And, as the first financial institution to join NGLCC, Wells Fargo has been serving its diverse customer base for many years.

“Uplifting LGTBQ+ businesses remains part of our commitment to advancing economic equality for all and promoting a healthy economy,” says April Schneider, head of Small & Business Banking, Wells Fargo.

If you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community, here are a few NGLCC initiatives that Wells Fargo supports that could potentially advance the health of your business:

• Becoming a Certified Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) through NGLCC can provide you with mentorship and networking opportunities, access to a nationwide network of LGBTQ+ businesses and chamber networks, the ability to compete for sourcing contracts with NGLCC’s 450+ corporate partners, and additional resources that will position your business to succeed. In fact, certified LGBTQ+-owned businesses received more than $100 million from Wells Fargo over the last three years alone.

• XLR8 is a partnership between NGLCC and Wells Fargo. This comprehensive initiative is designed to help Certified LGBTBE businesses grow and succeed in a highly competitive market. The program provides online executive management education whereby academic institutions, private sector companies and subject matter experts work with business owners on projects of importance to their company, ranging from capital and financial literacy to marketing, communications and branding. Interested? Sign up to learn when applications open for the next round of programming by visiting: nglcc.org/programs-initiatives/xlr8.

• With a goal of empowering some of the most vulnerable members of the LGTBQ+ community, Wells Fargo works with NGLCC on its Transgender & Gender Expansive (TGX) Initiative and Communities of Color Initiative (CoCi) to provide LGBTBE certification scholarships and opportunities for professional development for TGX- and minority-owned businesses, as well as resources and trainings for affiliate LGBTQ+ chambers across the country.

“When LGBTQ+ businesses thrive, so do individuals, communities, and the economy at-large. That’s just one of the many reasons why it’s so important that we connect these enterprises to resources that drive their growth and sustainability,” says Schneider.
