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.

Philip Kretsedemas Publishes An Original Study on Asylum Law in Laws Journal

By: Zexprwire

Massachusetts, US, 15th May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Scholar and policy analyst Philip Kretsedemas has published a landmark peer-reviewed article titled Explaining Asylum Law Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis in the internationally recognized journal Laws (Volume 13, Issue 4). The article explores the complex interplay between jurisprudence and politics in U.S. asylum decisions, using an innovative application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to examine how appellate courts rule on asylum cases involving kinship-based claims.

Kretsedemas’ research marks a major contribution to legal studies by spotlighting the underappreciated role of jurisprudential reasoning—especially the “nexus” requirement—in asylum case outcomes. In contrast to previous work that emphasized political partisanship, his analysis reveals that judicial decisions were most strongly influenced by case-specific legal reasoning and court-specific decision patterns.

The study focuses on asylum rulings from the first year of the Trump presidency, when immigration law was under intense political scrutiny. By honing in on 35 family-based asylum cases out of 319 total reviewed, the article shows how logic-based legal principles often overpowered overt political affiliations in determining outcomes. According to the findings, two key factors—whether the petitioner established a clear nexus between their persecution and a protected ground, and the unique decision-making patterns of individual appellate courts—were the most decisive.

“This study is about clarifying the mechanics of legal decision-making and showing that legal reasoning still matters,” Kretsedemas explains. “While politics certainly exerts influence, it doesn’t always determine outcomes in the way many assume.”

Kretsedemas brings over two decades of interdisciplinary expertise to the topic, blending sociological insight with legal analysis. His article also serves as a call to other researchers to adopt QCA as a valuable tool for examining small but richly detailed legal case populations.

The article is open access and available via MDPI at: https://www.mdpi.com/2075-471X/13/4/53.
