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.

Marc Walraven Launches New Website to Expand Access to DIY Urban Farming Tools

By: Zexprwire

Texas, US, 21st May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Marc Walraven, founder of UrbanRooted Innovations and a leading voice in low-tech urban farming, has officially launched his new website: https://www.marcwalravenfortworth.com/. The platform serves as a central hub for his hands-on methods, community work, and aeroponic system designs—all aimed at helping individuals and communities grow fresh food using minimal space, water, and complexity.

“This site is a place for people who want to grow their own food but don’t know where to start,” Walraven says. “I’ve built it to be straightforward—just like the systems I teach.”

The site features resources for building vertical aeroponic systems at home, including diagrams, supply lists, workshop sign-ups, and real-life case studies from schools and neighbourhood groups in Fort Worth. Walraven’s SkyGrow towers, which grow plants without soil and run on solar energy, are also introduced through detailed guides that avoid unnecessary jargon or tech.

“I wanted a place where someone with no engineering background could learn how to build something real,” says Walraven. “You don’t need Wi-Fi or fancy tools. You just need the will to start small and grow from there.”

The new site also includes:

  • A project gallery of community installations

  • Simple how-to videos for beginners

  • A schedule of Marc’s upcoming workshops and speaking events

  • Articles and blog posts on food access, design simplicity, and grassroots innovation

The launch comes as more cities face growing concerns over food insecurity and the need for resilient, local solutions. According to the USDA, millions of Americans still live in food deserts—urban and rural areas without easy access to healthy, affordable food.

“Technology can help,” Walraven says. “But only if people can actually use it. This website is about giving people the tools to take control—without needing to download another app or spend a fortune.”


Visit https://www.marcwalravenfortworth.com/ to explore practical tools for growing your own food, learn how to build a vertical garden from everyday materials, and find out how simplicity can power local change. Whether you’re in a classroom, apartment, or neighbourhood centre—this site is for you.
