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.

Texas, US, 13th February 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Sharen Groppell, a recognized leader in the insurance and risk management industry, is featured in an exclusive blog where she shares her strategies for balancing a high-stakes leadership career with the responsibilities of family life. As Executive Vice President at Marsh McLennan Agency in Houston, Texas, Sharen has spent over three decades leading teams, mentoring professionals, and driving business success while also being a devoted mother to her two sons, Garrett and Gregory.

Sharen also speaks about the role of support systems, both in her personal and professional life. She credits her success to the ability to delegate tasks at work and rely on trusted individuals at home, ensuring she can focus on strategic leadership while maintaining a healthy family life.

Another key theme in the blog is self-care and adaptability. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, Sharen prioritizes activities like hiking to recharge both mentally and physically. She acknowledges that family dynamics change over time, requiring continuous adjustments to maintain a strong bond with loved ones.

This exclusive blog is a must-read for professionals, working parents, and leaders striving to find harmony between career aspirations and personal fulfillment.
