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.

Christopher Mickey Calls for Small Business Owners to Redefine Success Through Everyday Actions

By: Zexprwire

New Port Richey, FL, 16th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Christopher Mickey, entrepreneur and founder of Airheads HVAC, is speaking out about the myths of success and the need for small business owners to prioritise dependability and problem-solving over chasing big breaks. Featured in a recent in-depth interview, Mickey shared his story of building businesses in restaurants, real estate, and HVAC while raising awareness of the practical steps anyone can take to build lasting trust.

“People think success comes from one lucky moment,” Mickey explained. “For me, it’s hundreds of small choices—showing up, fixing mistakes, keeping promises. Those build the foundation for anything that looks like a big break later on.”

Research from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce shows that 43% of small business owners struggle most with retaining customer trust. Mickey believes consistency is the antidote. His approach was shaped by leaving home at 14, buying his first pizza shop at 21, and later flipping more than 500 houses with his wife, Stephanie Woods.

“Stop waiting for the perfect plan,” Mickey urged. “Pick something you can improve and start now. If your business, your family, and your community are better off than a year ago, you’re moving in the right direction.”

Practical Actions Anyone Can Start Today

Mickey suggests simple steps that make a big impact:

  • Write down tasks and goals every day.

  • Fix mistakes before being asked.

  • Protect your time from constant interruptions.

  • Support one community group, school, or sports team.

  • Focus on doing fewer things well rather than spreading thin.

“You don’t have to run four companies to make a difference,” he said. “But if you’re running one—run it like it matters. Because it does.”
