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.

New Tool Available to Help Spanish-Speaking ComEd Customers Lower Bills and Energy Use

Online resource customizes list of financial-assistance and energy-efficiency offerings for eligible customers

To support Spanish-speaking customers in identifying the bill-assistance and energy-management support they may need, ComEd has made its Smart Assistance Manager (SAM) available in Spanish.

SAM is an online self-service tool that helps families and individuals more easily access financial-assistance and energy-savings options that are available to them, based on their household information such as energy usage and billing history. Customers who create an online account with ComEd through the “My Account” tool can log in while using SAM to get a list of eligible programs more tailored to their needs.

“ComEd remains committed to enabling all customers access their account information anywhere and on their own time – especially the assistance they need to keep the lights on at their homes and businesses,” said Melissa Washington, ComEd's chief customer officer and senior vice president of customer operations. “Offering our SAM tool in Spanish helps to remove the language barrier that will help our Spanish-speaking customers access information in the language with which they are most comfortable.”

SAM matches customers with the payment-assistance programs they may be eligible for – including deferred-payment arrangements and financial-assistance options like Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) – then provides guidance and links to apply. SAM also provides ways to control energy costs through energy-efficiency offerings, including free home energy assessments and discounts on energy-saving products.

Customers interested in accessing this free tool can visit es.ComEd.com/SAM.

Assistance Options Available through SAM

  • Financial-assistance programs like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and ComEd’s Supplemental Arrearage Reduction Program (SARP), which is available to ComEd residential customers who qualified to receive energy-assistance benefits from LIHEAP.
  • A flexible deferred payment arrangement of up to 12 months for eligible residential customers with a past-due balance. Make a down payment on the amount owed, and the balance is paid through installments in addition to your regular monthly bill.
  • Budget billing, which provides a predictable monthly payment based on your electricity usage from the last 12 months.
  • Flexible payment options like extensions on a customer’s due date by 21 calendar days.
  • High-usage alerts, which enable customers to receive alerts when their usage is trending higher than normal to help manage overall energy use, and energy-management tips to help customers manage energy use to save money now and on future energy bills.
  • Energy-efficiency offerings, including services and incentives designed for income-eligible residential customers, that can help reduce energy use now and in the long term.

To further support eligible, low-income residential customers struggling to pay their electric bills, ComEd no longer assesses late-payment fees or deposits. The energy company also no longer assesses additional fees for any customers when they use a credit card, debit card, or electronic check when paying their ComEd bills month to month. And, to offer more convenience, all customers can pay their ComEd bill with PayPal. More information on each of these options is available at ComEd.com/Pay.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 200 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.
