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.

Owens Corning's Approach to Circular Economy

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Owens Corning

DESCRIPTION:

The following objectives are essential to the establishment of our circular economy model.

Avoid the use of virgin raw materials whenever possible. The demand for recycled content among our customers is already strong, and we expect it will continue to grow. Our ability to meet customer expectations regarding product content — with full transparency — will be a key advantage as demand increases. We will rely on the companies with which we do business to help develop strategies that will limit the extraction of virgin raw materials.

Our fiberglass insulation contains anywhere from 53% to 73% recycled content, depending on the product. This includes a high level of post-consumer content in our light-density building insulation, typically coming from recycled beverage containers.

Source materials and serve customers in ways that minimize transportation and its impact.
We are calling on our partners throughout our value chain to help us in our transition to a circular economy model. This includes local sourcing initiatives, including those in which cullet is sourced near our plant locations. More information about our efforts in this area can be found in the Supply Chain Sustainability chapter of this report.

Manufacture products in ways that reduce the amount of waste generated and ensure the least negative environmental impact.
Product innovation is central to this approach, through the development of products that are sustainably made and deliver positive impacts for customers. The ingenuity of our people is also key, as they discover new ways to increase efficiencies in our processes. In addition, the principles of product stewardship help us remain fully transparent as we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability.

Ensure that materials used in our products and packaging remain in the economy indefinitely.
In Europe, end-of-life solutions are already the subject of a strong legislative drive, and Owens Corning is working to go beyond compliance as regulations become increasingly stringent. One challenge we face is finding applications and external companies that accept some of our byproducts, so we are seeking solutions that minimize waste at every step. This often involves taking materials back into our own operations or repurposing materials for alternate uses. Through it all, our goal is to ensure that materials are not discarded into landfills, which will require open collaboration with other companies throughout our value chain.
