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.

Northern Trust Releases 2021 Philanthropic Impact Report

By: 3BL Media

Over last decade, Northern Trust Donates More Than US$160 Million; Employees Spend More Than 1 Million Hours Volunteering.

SOURCE: Northern Trust

DESCRIPTION:

CHICAGO – Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) has made $160 million in charitable contributions in the last decade, including $18 million in 2021 benefiting nearly 1,000 organizations globally, according to a Northern Trust’s 2021 Philanthropic Impact Report.

Additionally Northern Trust staff have provided more than 1 million hours of volunteer service in the past decade, a practice supported by the company offering two paid days off per year for volunteer service. During Northern Trust’s global month of service in October, known as Achieving Greater Together, employees volunteered more than 12,000 hours – in person and virtually -- to support organizations in their communities and beyond.

“Northern Trust is committed to creating more equitable opportunities to achieve long-term financial success for those who too often face unfair hurdles,” said Shana Hayes, director corporate of philanthropy at Northern Trust. “We have chosen to focus our efforts in areas where we feel we can do the most to advance this mission: food security, accessible healthcare, affordable housing and educational excellence.”

Examples highlighted in the report include:

Housing
Northern Trust supports SOS Children’s Villages (India), which provides shelter and services for homeless and other at-risk children, laying a foundation for educational achievement and a more secure future.

When children can no longer live with their families, SOS Children’s Villages works with the communities and state partners to provide children with supportive alternative care to ensure children’s needs are met.

Many households in Pune, India, are headed by single women living in poor and vulnerable conditions. Government statistics estimate a third of the population lives with inadequate access to basic services or infrastructure. The prevention of poverty and abandonment is a high priority for SOS Children’s Villages.

Education
Northern Trust works with its philanthropic partners to support educational equity to foster human potential. One grantee highlighted in the report is The Access Project, based in England.

Supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the U.K.’s top universities, The Access Project offers a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring that helps teenagers unlock their potential and transform their prospects.

In 2021, 7 out of 10 student participants in The Access Project earned placement at leading universities, including 10 who placed at Oxbridge and 13 who placed in medical and dentistry programs. In total, Northern Trust volunteers spent 50 hours performing online tutoring for students in English, math and psychology. 

Healthcare
Northern Trust works to maximize healthcare access and awareness, which directly impacts physical and financial well-being, by supporting organizations such as Chicago-based Esperanza Health Centers.

The organization works with Chicago’s underserved communities through bilingual, high-quality primary care, behavioral health and wellness services, regardless of immigration or insurance status, or ability to pay.

Northern Trust’s donations helped fund Esperanza’s daily work throughout 2021, which included the creation of four mass vaccination sites across Chicago’s southwest side, and enabled administration of 150,000 vaccine doses.

In addition, Esperanza considerably increased its mental health counseling team and created a daily on-call workflow whereby a designated mental health counselor is assigned to “float” each day in-clinic, allowing for immediate handoffs from primary care providers as well as the capacity to address walk-ins and emergencies – all while continuing to see their regular patients.

Food security
The final philanthropic focus area Northern Trust focuses on is food security. The firm seeks to ensure reliable, everyday access to nutritious meals to strengthen concentration, the ability to fully participate in school, and patterns that sustain long-term physical health.

Among organizations Northern Trust supports is the Global Foodbanking Network – an international nonprofit that works toward a hunger-free future in more than 40 countries by sustaining, uniting and strengthening food banks – and its partners, including Feeding America and the European Food Banks Federation. During Northern Trust’s global month of service, the firm donated 50 meals to these organizations for every hour of service performed by employees, which ultimately totaled more than 600,000 meals.
