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.

Entrepreneur and Restoration Expert Shoughi Darakhshan Featured in Exclusive Interview

By: Zexprwire

Virginia, US, 1st April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Shoughi Darakhshan, a respected entrepreneur and third-generation restorer, has been featured in an exclusive online interview where he shares his journey from a young refugee to the founder of a leading remediation and restoration company. In this in-depth conversation, he discusses his approach to business, the importance of resilience, and how he has built a one-stop shop for disaster restoration.

Darakhshan, who immigrated to the United States from Iran as a child, grew up in a family of contractors and began his career in restoration at the age of 20. Today, he is the President and CEO of a major remediation company specializing in fire and mold restoration, roofing, and disaster recovery.

“I come from a family of contractors. I’m a third-generation restorer,” Darakhshan states in the interview. “I started at 20 and never looked back.”

Beyond business, Darakhshan is also the founder of 911 BoardUp, a victim assistance program designed to help families in the immediate aftermath of a fire loss. His commitment to helping others extends beyond restoration—his company provides guidance, support, and essential services to those in crisis.

“When someone’s home is destroyed, they need more than just a quick fix. They need someone to guide them through the chaos,” he explains.

In the interview, Darakhshan also shares his philosophy on success, which he believes is built on continuous learning and self-improvement. He discusses his passion for aviation, space travel, quantum computing, and cryptography, all of which fuel his drive for innovation.

“I read one book a week on a subject that relates to my goals,” he says. “Knowledge, compassion, endurance, and patience—that’s what drives me.”

One of the key takeaways from his story is his ability to turn obstacles into opportunities. Whether in business or personal growth, Darakhshan sees setbacks as learning experiences rather than failures.

“Obstacles only exist in our imagination,” he says. “Converting every aspect into a positive has been the path to my success.”

The interview also explores Darakhshan’s belief in health as a foundation for success, his structured approach to goal-setting, and the influence of his four older brothers, whom he credits as his biggest mentors.

“All the money means nothing if health is not number one,” he emphasizes. “Health, wealth, love, and happiness—in that order.”

This feature offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone striving for long-term success. Darakhshan’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, vision, and disciplined execution.
