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.

Climate Action - Ericsson's Supply Chain

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Ericsson

DESCRIPTION:

Originally published in Ericsson's 2021 Sustainability and Corporate responsibility Report

Ericsson is actively working to reduce emissions in its supply chain. In 2021 Ericsson supply chain emissions totalled 2.6 Mtonnes of CO2e and corresponded to 8% of Ericsson’s total carbon footprint.

In 2020, Ericsson set a target to engage with 350 of its high emitting and strategic suppliers – responsible for 90% of Ericsson’s supply chain emissions – to set their own 1.5°C-aligned climate targets by 2025. In addition to the long-term commitment, this would also mean that the suppliers in scope must reduce their operational emissions by half by 2030. By the end of 2021, 121 suppliers had set such targets, which is in line with the Company’s outreach target.

Ericsson also set a new target in 2021 to cut supply chain emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2016 baseline, aligning reductions in the supply chain with the Company’s Net Zero ambition. The results of this work will directly support Ericsson’s customers, many of which have shown a commitment to decarbonizing their purchased portfolio carbon footprint.

In addition to the work with reducing direct emissions from first-tier suppliers, Ericsson also aims to meet its supply chain decarbonization goals though other measures. These include further strengthening the Company’s approach to design, sourcing of raw material, country level energy emission factors, material substitution, use of recycled material and method of die casting, among others.

Decarbonization of product transportation is a particularly important strategic part of the overall supply chain emissions. In 2021, Ericsson focused its efforts in this area on optimizing processes, driven by digitalization of the supply chain data aiming to improve transportation planning and to reduce emissions. To achieve this, Ericsson has developed and started to deploy a transport management tool with the aim to have full end-to-end CO2e reporting and target tracking for product transportation.

Furthermore, in 2021, an internal shadow carbon price of 100 EUR/ton CO2 was launched as a pilot for part of the product transportation process in order to internally visualize the cost of carbon emissions.
