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.

Founder of KandK Hotel Group, Nupen Patel, Featured in Exclusive Online Interview

By: Zexprwire

Texas, United States, 9th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Nupen Patel, founder and managing partner of K&K Hotel Group, is the subject of a newly released in-depth interview that explores his career, philosophy, and leadership style in the hospitality industry. The interview, titled Building Hospitality, One Property at a Time: An Interview with Nupen Patel, offers a candid look at how Patel has quietly built one of the most consistent and disciplined hospitality groups in the region.

The interview dives into Patel’s early years working in his family’s hotels, his founding of K&K Hotel Group in 2008, and how his core business principles—People | Process | Product—continue to guide the company’s steady growth. Headquartered in The Woodlands, TX, K&K Hotel Group owns and manages a growing portfolio of IHG and Marriott franchise properties with a focus on quality, consistency, and reinvestment.

“Hospitality isn’t just about buildings—it’s about how you make people feel,” says Patel. “That’s something I learned early on from my family. We weren’t just running hotels, we were creating experiences.”

Throughout the interview, Patel speaks with clarity and humility about what it takes to build a company that values its people, operates with efficiency, and delivers high-quality guest experiences. Rather than chasing trends, Patel emphasizes the importance of fundamentals like clean rooms, friendly service, and disciplined management.

“Technology should support people, not replace them,” he shares. “Guests still want that personal connection—and so do our teams. If you get the basics right, everything else becomes easier.”

Patel also explains how his base in The Woodlands has helped shape the company’s culture and direction. The master-planned community’s mix of structure and creativity has been a natural match for K&K’s operational style.

Looking ahead, Patel is focused on sustainable growth, investing in leadership development, and maintaining high standards across every property.

“We’re not trying to be the biggest,” he says. “We’re trying to be the best at what we do. That’s what will leave a lasting legacy.”
