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.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to free speech and expression. However, in the age of internet censorship, this fundamental right is facing new challenges and threats. Internet censorship, the practice of controlling and filtering online content by governments or private organizations, has the potential to stifle free speech and limit our access to information. It is crucial that we protect our First Amendment rights in the digital age and ensure that we have the freedom to express ourselves and access information online.

One of the primary ways that internet censorship threatens our First Amendment rights is by limiting access to information. In countries where the government controls the internet, citizens may not have access to websites or social media platforms that provide them with essential information about their country or the world. This can limit their ability to make informed decisions and participate in democratic processes. Additionally, the censorship of certain viewpoints or ideas can create an environment where only a narrow range of opinions are represented, stifling free speech and limiting our ability to learn from diverse perspectives.

Internet censorship can also have a chilling effect on free speech. When individuals know that their online activity is being monitored or that they may be punished for certain types of speech or expression, they may be less likely to engage in online discussions or express their opinions openly. This can limit the ability of individuals and groups to advocate for change and can have a negative impact on the quality of public discourse.

Furthermore, internet censorship can limit our ability to access and express unpopular or controversial ideas. The First Amendment was established to protect all forms of speech, including those that are not popular or widely accepted. When internet censorship limits our ability to access and express these ideas, it can infringe on our fundamental right to free speech and expression.

To protect our First Amendment rights in the age of internet censorship, it is essential that we advocate for policies and practices that promote free and open access to information online. This could involve measures such as promoting transparency and accountability in internet censorship practices, advocating for clear and consistent rules and regulations for regulating online content, and supporting independent bodies or watchdog groups to monitor and hold governments and private organizations accountable for their actions.

It is also important to support digital literacy and critical thinking skills among internet users. By providing individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the internet safely and effectively, we can empower them to make informed decisions about the content they consume and share online. This can help to reduce the spread of harmful or offensive content and promote a more open and inclusive online environment.

Ultimately, protecting our First Amendment rights in the age of internet censorship requires a concerted effort from individuals, organizations, and policymakers alike. By standing up for our right to free speech and expression online, we can help ensure that the internet remains a powerful tool for communication, creativity, and progress, while also upholding the fundamental principles of our democracy.
