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.

Chris Conidis Promotes Mental Resilience as Essential for Career Growth and Success

By: Zexprwire

Florida, US, 8th January 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Chris Conidis, acclaimed storyteller, filmmaker, and advocate for personal growth, is raising awareness about the importance of mental toughness in today’s world. Combining humor, grace, and resilience, Conidis emphasizes that staying strong doesn’t mean losing compassion for others or ourselves.

“In a world full of criticism and challenges, having thick skin is crucial,” Conidis explains. “But mental toughness doesn’t mean shutting down kindness or humor. We can face tough situations with grace and laugh at the chaos while still holding on to empathy.”

Studies support this balance. A report from the American Psychological Association highlights that mental resilience—the ability to adapt positively to adversity—significantly reduces stress and improves overall well-being. However, resilience combined with compassion also builds better relationships, trust, and healthier work environments.

Through his 20-year creative career, Conidis has learned the value of balancing grit with grace. Whether performing live improv or creating stories for audiences, he’s faced rejection, criticism, and self-doubt. “Rejection stings, no question,” he says. “Early on, I let it get to me. But I realized you can be strong and still laugh at yourself. You can stay open without letting the world crush you.”

Humor, Conidis believes, is a key tool in building mental resilience. “A good laugh is more powerful than we think,” he explains. “Humor can reframe a failure, lighten stress, and remind us that life isn’t always as serious as it seems.” Research backs this up—according to the Mayo Clinic, laughter reduces tension, increases endorphins, and boosts mental health, making challenges easier to handle.

A Balanced Approach to Resilience

Conidis advocates for a mindful approach to mental toughness—one that combines strength with humor and compassion. His message is simple:

  • Develop Thick Skin: Learn to accept rejection and criticism without losing self-worth.

  • Practice Grace: Be kind to yourself and others, even when times get tough.

  • Find the Humor: Use laughter to lighten life’s burdens and see challenges with fresh eyes.

“Being mentally tough doesn’t mean turning cold,” Conidis adds. “The strongest people are often those who lead with kindness and laugh the hardest in the face of adversity.”

He encourages individuals, especially creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders, to embrace this balance. “Thick skin protects you, but humor and grace make you human. It’s the combination that keeps us moving forward.”
