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.

Saint-Gobain Installs Water Recycling Technology at its Kansas City Insulation Plant, Reducing Water Usage by 227 Million Gallons Per Year

Saint-Gobain, through its building products subsidiary CertainTeed LLC, today announced the company has completed the installation of water recycling technology at its Kansas City insulation plant, which will reduce the plant’s consumption of water by 227 million gallons per year. The ambitious project comes only weeks after the company announced its new global Grow and Impact strategy, which includes reducing its consumption of natural resources at its production sites.

The CertainTeed plant in Kansas City is the largest insulation manufacturing site in the world and began operations in 1951. The plant uses water to help cool equipment and molten glass, which is eventually fiberized into fiberglass-based insulation material.

The technology installed this month will allow the plant to capture and reuse the vast majority of water used on its K11 and K12 production lines. Previously, this water would otherwise travel into the plant’s sewer drains. A team of 15 engineering, production and design professionals at CertainTeed worked over the past seven years to conceptualize and implement this $4.3 million project.

“Our water recycling project in Kansas City is a massive step forward in our company’s broader mission of maximizing our positive impact, for our customers and the communities where we do business, while minimizing our environmental footprint,” said Andrew Goldberg, Vice President and General Manager of CertainTeed Insulation Product Group. “We know that part of being a good business means being a good neighbor, and we strive to lead our industry toward a more sustainable future.”

CertainTeed’s water recycling efforts in Kansas City follow several other major investments this year towards improving CertainTeed’s environmental sustainability:

  • In March, the company signed a 12-year power purchase agreement for 120 megawatts of renewable energy from a wind farm in McLean County, Illinois.
  • In August, the company launched “Sustaining Futures, Raising Communities,” a program that will bring more sustainable construction to neighborhoods across North America.
  • In September, the company announced its intent to build a new gypsum logistics facility that will be integrated into the remediation of a vacant Superfund site along the St. Johns River.
