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.

Solana, Layer Brett or Cardano? Experts Debate Which Crypto Holds The Biggest Upside In 2025

As 2025 approaches, traders are debating where the next big gains will come from. Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) remain trusted large-cap projects with steady adoption, but their growth has often been gradual. By contrast, Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a new presale token, is attracting attention for its low entry price and high-risk, high-reward setup.

Solana keeps building

Solana is still one of the fastest blockchains in the market. Its low transaction fees and high capacity have made it popular among developers in DeFi, gaming, and NFTs. The network processes millions of transactions daily, a sign that its earlier reliability issues are no longer the main concern.

Institutional investors have also started to take an interest. Some funds now see SOL as a cheaper alternative to Ethereum, giving it added credibility. Analysts following trading activity suggest that if demand continues, Solana could move into the $250–$300 range by late 2025.

The challenge for SOL is competition. Other blockchains are improving quickly, and developer loyalty will be key. Even so, its adoption and liquidity keep it well-positioned among top altcoins heading into the next cycle.

Cardano price outlook

The Cardano price often reflects its careful approach. ADA has always emphasized research and peer review, which appeals to institutions and developers who want security. Hydra, its scaling upgrade, and gradual improvements in smart contracts show progress is being made.

The drawback is speed. Compared to rivals like Solana, ADA tends to move slowly, both in development and in market performance. Forecasts for late 2025 place ADA between $1.20 and $1.50. Gains are possible, but they may not satisfy traders seeking fast returns.

Cardano remains a respected project, but many now view it as a safe, steady option rather than a high-growth opportunity. Long-term investors may appreciate its stability, but speculators are looking elsewhere.

Layer Brett buzz grows

The token making headlines is Layer Brett ($LBRETT). Unlike older meme coins, it comes with technical backing through Ethereum Layer 2. That means faster speeds, very low costs, and full compatibility with Ethereum’s dApps.

At presale, the price is $0.0053, a level small buyers can afford while still leaving room for upside. Early participants are also being offered staking rewards at 1,030% APY, which has fueled heavy demand.

The roadmap outlines features designed to keep the community engaged: NFT tie-ins, gamified staking, and cross-chain plans. With a capped supply of 10 billion tokens, scarcity is part of the design. Traders argue this structure makes it more than a passing meme coin.

Analysts are already comparing the hype to early Shiba Inu and Pepe Coin cycles. Both delivered massive gains with little technical foundation. By mixing meme appeal with Ethereum Layer 2, $LBRETT is seen as having the cultural pull and infrastructure to sustain momentum.

Final thoughts

Solana offers adoption and speed. Cardano delivers stability and credibility. Both are expected to rise into 2025, but their size limits the potential for huge multiples.

That gap is where Layer Brett has found its niche. Its presale price, aggressive staking rewards, and Ethereum Layer 2 foundation give it the kind of speculative appeal that could deliver exponential returns.

For investors, the choice is simple: SOL and ADA provide steady growth, while $LBRETT offers a shot at outsized gains. As the next cycle builds, all three will have their place, but many believe Layer Brett could be the one to watch most closely.
