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 Sustainable Growth

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Owens Corning

DESCRIPTION:

Our goal: By 2030, we will design our products for recycling or reuse to optimize the impact of our products over their entire life cycle, from raw materials to disposal.

Over the next nine years, Owens Corning expects that the importance of balancing growth with sustainability will become increasingly evident. We will be there to meet the demand for products that deliver performance while minimizing negative impacts. In particular, we recognize the growing demand for reduced embodied carbon, which is already shaping our approach to innovation throughout our operations. Among the other specific areas of focus Owens Corning has prioritized for the immediate future is the need to expand the number of products that are free of formaldehyde and fluorocarbons.

One way Owens Corning gauges our performance toward our sustainable growth goals is the extent to which we are addressing the trends that are shaping our industry. As we look to the future, we are also cognizant of these trends as significant opportunities to grow while at the same time meeting our 2030 sustainability goals.

Currently, we see four primary trends that represent opportunities for sustainable growth over the next decade.

  • Increased premium on living spaces.
    The global pandemic has changed how we think about our homes, both in terms of functionality and comfort. This new emphasis on living spaces will continue to drive investments in new residential housing and renovation in the U.S. and abroad. Insulation is one of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort, including sound reduction.
  • Changing construction practices.
    Even before the pandemic, we saw how labor shortages were impacting construction practices and cycles. Since early 2020, the trend has accelerated, creating the need for multi-material and prefabricated construction solutions that can drive efficiencies. Owens Corning PINK Next GenTM FiberglasTM enables 23% faster installation. FiberglasTM rebar, which is seven times lighter than steel, improves ease of handling for 50% faster installation.
  • Demand for sustainable solutions.
    Reduction of greenhouse gases, improvements in energy efficiency, and the development of more renewable energy sources are increasingly prioritized by homeowners. Governments at all levels are also requiring increasingly stringent standards. Both factors are driving specifications throughout the industry. For example, the European Green Deal Commission proposed that by 2030, all new buildings in the European Union be zero-emission, and Owens Corning products could be part of meeting that goal.
  • Investment in infrastructure.
    We expect to see upgrades to roads and bridges to continue around the world over the next decade. We also expect that this investment will prioritize more durable solutions, which will help ensure that investments will be more sustainable over time.

We will capitalize on these opportunities by focusing on our unique combination of material science knowledge, commercial strength, and manufacturing expertise to develop and commercialize additional product and system solutions.
