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.

Cole Peacock Calls for Greater Accessibility, Awareness, and Investment in Utility Infrastructure Innovation Across Florida

By: Zexprwire

Florida-based utility leader urges industry and community stakeholders to act on overlooked challenges impacting service equity, modernization, and disaster resilience

Florida, US, 2nd June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Cole Peacock, Chief Operating Officer of CDI Utilities and a leading voice for innovation in the utility sector, is launching a public awareness initiative to highlight the urgent need for greater accessibility, funding, and visibility in utility infrastructure improvements—especially in underserved and disaster-prone communities across Florida.

“Utilities are the invisible backbone of daily life, but they’re often taken for granted until something breaks,” said Peacock. “The reality is that many Florida communities—particularly rural, low-income, and storm-impacted areas—are operating with outdated systems and very limited resources.”

Peacock is drawing attention to gaps in funding, accessibility, and public understanding that prevent long-term improvements in energy reliability, environmental sustainability, and smart technology adoption. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, over 65% of the nation’s electric grid is more than 25 years old, and in states like Florida, aging infrastructure is compounded by frequent extreme weather events.

“People assume progress is happening behind the scenes, but a lot of local utilities don’t have the budget, tools, or legislative support to modernize,” Peacock explained. “We need to bring these issues into the light so more communities can get the support they need to improve.”

Peacock emphasizes that solutions don’t just rest with lawmakers or corporations. Everyday people—homeowners, civic leaders, and consumers—can be part of the movement by:

  • Asking local officials about infrastructure plans and funding allocation

  • Participating in public utility board meetings or advisory committees

  • Supporting legislation that promotes grid modernization and climate resilience

  • Educating themselves on energy usage and advocating for equitable service in vulnerable communities

“Awareness is the first step. If enough people start asking the right questions, change will follow,” said Peacock. “Modernizing utilities isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a human one. We need to build systems that serve everyone fairly, especially in a state as diverse and environmentally vulnerable as Florida.”

Peacock has already filed multiple patents aimed at predictive maintenance and outage prevention for utility systems. His goal now is to encourage more transparency, more collaboration, and more public support across Florida’s utility landscape.

“This isn’t just about wires and meters—it’s about building a future where no one is left behind when the lights go out,” he added.

To learn more about utility equity, resilience, and how to support local infrastructure efforts, Peacock encourages residents to connect with their municipal utility providers, attend town hall meetings, and research current energy legislation affecting their region.

“Even small actions—like attending a community meeting or writing to your city council—can drive meaningful change,” said Peacock. “Let’s stop waiting for someone else to fix the system and start asking how we can help improve it together.”
