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.

National Grid Names Juneteenth a Company Holiday in the US

By: 3BL Media

Company encourages colleagues to recognize the contribution of Black Americans and impacts of racism throughout history

SOURCE: National Grid

DESCRIPTION:

WALTHAM, MA, June 7, 2021 /3BL Media/ – National Grid will honor Juneteenth as a company holiday for all US employees starting this June. National Grid has remained committed to inclusion, equity, and diversity over the years, but refocused their efforts in 2020, fueled by the Black Lives Matter movement and the murder of George Floyd. 

For National Grid, naming Juneteenth a company holiday is another step on the road to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned of the Emancipation Proclamation that had been issued by President Abraham Lincoln more than two years earlier. It the oldest holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth recognizes the continued struggle for freedom and racial equality for Black Americans in the US. Because Juneteenth falls on a Saturday this year, US employees will have Friday, June 18, 2021 off work.

“Combatting systemic racism and standing with our Black colleagues and communities in solidarity have always been part of National Grid’s commitment to inclusion, equity, and diversity,” said Natalie Edwards, Chief Diversity Officer of National Grid. “Declaring Juneteenth a company holiday is a symbol of our dedication to honoring Black Americans who have suffered the impacts of racism throughout US history.”

National Grid encourages employees to use the time away from work as a day of reflection and to celebrate Black communities, particularly in the neighborhoods where they live and work. 

In the last year, National Grid introduced their Responsible Business Charter, which identifies where the company can have the most impact on society. Within this charter, the company has laid out a number of targets they must achieve to advance Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity including hiring, promoting, and retaining diverse employees, and transparency around progress. The Company has also hired their first Global Chief Diversity Officer and trained managers of people on biases. This is designed to help advance the careers of diverse team members.
