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.

Ryan Rearden Featured in Exclusive Interview on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Business Strategy

By: Zexprwire

Georgia, US, 13th March 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Ryan Rearden, a seasoned entrepreneur and strategic business leader, has been featured in an exclusive online interview, where he discusses his journey, lessons learned, and insights on the evolving business landscape. Known for his dynamic approach to hospitality, consulting, and technology-driven ventures, Rearden has built a reputation for identifying market gaps and turning them into thriving businesses.

Rearden’s career has taken him from managing elite hospitality brands to launching ventures that integrate technology and consumer experience. He has held leadership positions at MGM Resorts International, Drai’s Enterprises, and has founded or partnered in businesses such as Dinner With a View, Fliiks, Inc., and Two Roads Consulting.

“Success isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter, making the right connections, and positioning yourself strategically,” Rearden says in the interview.

Turning Setbacks into Growth Opportunities

Rearden is candid about his experiences with business failures and setbacks. His involvement with GRAE Hospitality was met with legal and financial challenges, but rather than letting it define him, he pivoted to stronger opportunities.

“One of my biggest lessons was learning to trust my instincts and verify everything before making a commitment,” he explains. “Setbacks aren’t failures unless you stop moving forward.”

This mindset has helped Rearden navigate competitive markets while continuously evolving. His latest ventures include the launch of an innovative app aimed at disrupting the gig economy and consulting work focused on helping small municipalities improve emergency response strategies.

Insights on Productivity and Innovation

In the interview, Rearden shares how he structures his day for maximum productivity. He starts each morning with a focused planning session, prioritizing tasks based on urgency and long-term impact.

“If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist,” he states, emphasizing his practice of note-taking and tracking progress.

One trend he is particularly excited about is the integration of AI in customer experiences. “AI isn’t about replacing people,” he notes. “It’s about making interactions more meaningful and personalized.”

Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

For those looking to start their own business, Rearden’s advice is straightforward:

“Don’t wait for the perfect moment—it doesn’t exist. Start now, test your ideas, and be willing to adjust as you go.”

He also stresses the importance of networking and strategic partnerships. “Talent alone won’t get you where you want to go. Surround yourself with the right people, and always keep learning.”
