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.

FASB Defines Accounting Guidelines for Environmental Credits

It’s time for the American standard-setter FASB to start defining accounting guidelines for climate-related transactions so that companies and investors can better understand transactions involving renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets. 

On the board’s technical plan, which outlines its rulemaking goals, this item has been added to the agenda. It contains a regulation that will be enforced in the future on corporations operating in the United States. Digital asset accounting and transparency problems were added to the agenda last week.

Three types of carbon offsets exist carbon offsets, which companies buy and record in proportion to their emissions of greenhouse gases; renewable-energy credits, which regulators give to providers of wind, solar, and hydropower in exchange for delivering electricity to a power grid; and carbon offsets. 

Renewable-energy credits and carbon offsets purchased by companies are presently not subject to accounting requirements. Credits are recorded by some firms immediately, while others capitalize them and depreciate later. As a result of climate change, the FASB has recently recommended new accounting guidelines. 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently recommended new disclosure rules for U.S. public firms regarding climate risk two months ago. Proposed by the SEC, corporations would be required to report how they employ carbon offsets and renewable energy credits in their climate-related business strategy.

One can only speculate whether the FASB’s efforts will align with the SEC’s plans. To ensure that investment funds evaluate environmental, social, and corporate governance issues, the SEC on Wednesday proposed a strategy. Beginning in December, FASB officials will begin investigating environmental credits. 

After receiving more than 500 letters from businesses, investors, academics, and other interested parties, the FASB deliberates on its top objectives. Firms were excited to see the FASB adopt accounting rules for climate-related activities because they anticipate becoming a more prominent part of their business.

An accounting framework for climate-related agreements was requested by Charter Communications Inc., a telecommunications corporation, in September 2017. 

Using the US generally accepted accounting rules, Charter’s chief financial officer and controller, Kevin Howard, claims that this step will assist businesses in becoming carbon neutral and in entering into additional similar partnerships. Charter did not comment on the FASB’s decision to include the environmental credit project on its technical agenda on Wednesday.
