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.

Forest Positive Coalition Launches Palm Oil Deforestation Monitoring and Response Framework

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: The Consumer Goods Forum

DESCRIPTION:

The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Forest Positive Coalition has today published a Framework to proactively monitor and address deforestation and peat non-compliances linked to palm oil supply chains. The Coalition has consulted extensively in developing this Framework with actors from across the palm oil value chain, including CSOs as well as the World Resources Institute (WRI) and deforestation monitoring service providers Earthqualizer, Satelligence and Starling.

In line with its Theory of Change, the Coalition aims to create a more efficient and effective approach for dealing with alerts that may indicate non-compliance with members’ No Deforestation or Peat Development (NDP) commitments, to drive better environmental outcomes. The Framework contains two sections: (1) a Guidance on “Minimum Requirements” for Monitoring, to improve consistency and flow of information and (2) Response Framework to drive efficient and effective responses to deforestation and peat alerts by clarifying roles and responsibilities across the supply chain. Hence this Framework is referred to as a “Deforestation Monitoring and Response Framework.”

Like the Coalition’s other publications, the Framework will be a living document, subject to updates that reflect Coalition member experiences, feedback from traders, refiners and others in the value chain, civil society insights, and Coalition-specific work streams that seek to build on the momentum of this initial draft to further improve how non-compliances are addressed. Additionally, advancing on the Coalition’s Theory of Change and transparency objectives, Coalition members will report publicly against Key Performance Indicators relating to monitoring and response, which will be added to Element 3 of the Palm Oil Roadmap in the coming weeks. The Coalition invites businesses and stakeholders, both within the Coalition and beyond in the broader value and supply chain, to use this Framework as technical guidance in both individual and collective efforts to build a forest positive future for the palm oil industry. The Coalition has been supported by its technical and strategic partner, Proforest, in the development of the Framework and will work together as members implement it.

The Forest Positive Coalition was formed in 2020 by The Consumer Goods Forum and brings together 21 of the world’s largest retailers and manufacturers, with a combined market value of around US $2 trillion, to take collective action to remove deforestation, forest conversion and degradation from key commodity supply chains.
