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.

Manhattan Beach Reaffirms Its Status as a “Blue City”

Manhattan Beach Reaffirms Its Status as a "Blue City"
The City of Manhattan Beach is recertified as a Blue City through Project O's Blue City Network.
Blue City Network Recognizes City’s Environmental Progress and Coastal Stewardship

Project O, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring and protecting ocean health, has officially recertified the City of Manhattan Beach as a “Blue City” through its Blue City Network (BCN). This recognition highlights the City’s continued leadership in sustainability and coastal protection, as it has since first earning certification in 2020.

In its 2025 recertification, Manhattan Beach achieved 465 points out of a possible 500, improving its original score by 30 points and maintaining its place in the Ocean Hero Tier, the highest level of achievement within the BCN framework.

“Manhattan Beach continues to set the bar for what it means to be a coastal sustainability leader,” said Evelina Marchetti, Chief Operating Officer of Project O. “From stronger plastics policies to innovative stormwater projects and hands-on community engagement, the City is showing how local action can make a global difference.”

“The City of Manhattan Beach is proud to have earned recertification as a ‘Blue City’ by the ‘Blue City Network,’ a nonprofit dedicated to protecting oceans and waterways. The recertification is a testament to our community's deep commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Mayor David Lesser.

Cities, towns, and counties earn the Blue City certification by demonstrating leadership in plastic reduction, climate resilience, water management, and ecosystem protection. In 2020, the City of Manhattan Beach was previously certified as the first ‘Blue City.'

“This recognition reflects the collaborative efforts of our residents, businesses, and City staff who understand that protecting our coastline and ocean is an environmental imperative and essential to preserving the quality of life that makes Manhattan Beach special," continued Mayor Lesser. "We remain dedicated to leading by example and implementing innovative solutions to safeguard our coastal environment for generations to come.”

The Blue City Network certification provides a transparent, data-driven framework for cities to track progress toward sustainability goals. Assessments focus on four solution areas: Waste Minimization, Climate Protection & Community Resilience, Water Quality & Efficiency, and Healthy Ecosystems.

Highlights of Manhattan Beach’s recertification include:

● Expanded single-use plastics policy restricting straws, utensils, meat trays, balloons, and more.

● Community engagement through events like the Ocean Protection Bike Tour and Film Screening at the 2025 Earth Day Celebration.

● Clean transportation progress with 28 City-owned EV charging stations citywide and more underway.

● Innovative water projects, including recycled water planning and new stormwater treatment systems to improve water quality and resilience.

With this achievement, Manhattan Beach joins other certified Blue Cities—including Oceanside, Encinitas, San Clemente, and Solana Beach—that are working together to protect waterways and oceans for future generations.
