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.

Dinner date dilemmas revealed in new Yelp etiquette guide, including who should pay the bill

By: FOXNews.com
A new survey from Yelp revealed opinions from users on proper dining etiquette, including who should pay the bill on a date and how to handle a cell phone during dinner.

Yelp released its first-ever etiquette guide for do's and don'ts related to dining out. 

After surveying nearly 2,000 Yelp users who have completed restaurant reviews in the past, Yelp consulted etiquette expert Myka Meier on some of the most debatable table manners in today’s world — including who pays the bill and how people handle their phones.  

One of the most popular debates surrounding dining at a restaurant concerned the proper amount of phone usage at the table. 

ARE YOUR TABLE MANNERS UP TO SNUFF? ETIQUETTE EXPERT CALLS OUT 12 TACKY HABITS

Eighty percent of Yelp respondents said they believe phones should be put away while at the dinner table — specifically while on a date — while only 54% of those surveyed said they should be put away during family meals. 

When it came to dining with friends, 50% said they put their phones away to enjoy the meal.

To remain in good graces in terms of etiquette, Meier recommended that diners who must have their phone on the table during a meal explain the reasoning to their companion.

"Modern etiquette means keeping personal items like wallets, sunglasses and — unfortunately — cellphones off the table while dining," she told Yelp.

"Transparency is a courteous gesture."

Another question asked of the Yelp respondents was about which person on a date should pay the bill.  

Yelp found that 68% of people thought the person who initiated the date should pick up the check. 

Of those surveyed who were located in the southern portion of the United States, 74% of respondents thought this to be true.

Meier recommended simplicity for this process — saying it’s better to limit the number of cards on the table and use a money-sharing app later to settle up, if the bill is being split. 

"This approach streamlines the process for the server and allows you to split the bill evenly, or divide it up based on each other’s order," she said. 

Yelp also found that 65% of those asked in the South said they ask the server to split the check per person — while 34% of those in the Northeast prefer that one person pays upfront.

Being timely to a restaurant reservation was also brought up as a sign of proper etiquette. 

Seventy-six percent of survey participants said it’s unacceptable to run late by 10 minutes or more to a sit-down restaurant appointment. 

Opinions on the timeliness subject did change based on gender, age and geographical location, however.

More men from the study than women found any amount of tardiness to be unacceptable. 

Yelp also found that those 25–34 years of age were more lenient about arriving on time. 

With the rise in various locations such as coffee shops and fast-food spots asking for tips, Yelp asked the survey participants what percentage they typically tip. 

At a sit-down restaurant, 65% of people said they tip the standard 20% of a bill, but almost 90% said they prefer to tip as much as they see fit, while also appreciating the advanced notice of any automatic tipping added to the final bill.

"Advance notice of automatic tipping policies is key to avoiding surprises," Meier said. 

She added, "When tipping, always consider the service you’ve received and remember that generosity and gratitude go a long way in creating a positive dining experience for everyone involved."
