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.

ComEd Awards Chicagoland Students Scholarships to Pursue STEM Degrees

Illinois Tech, UIC students to receive scholarships, mentorships and internship opportunities

To support equity in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, ComEd has named four local students who are pursuing STEM-related degrees at Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech) and University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) as its 2022 ComEd Scholars.

Now in its fourth year, the ComEd Scholars program provides scholarships that fill the funding gap for students pursuing STEM-related degrees at local universities. In addition to the scholarship funding, ComEd Scholars receive mentorship from ComEd engineers and executives and the opportunity to apply for internships at ComEd and its parent company, Exelon. Since the program was launched in 2019, 26 students have been awarded support.

“At ComEd, we are committed to diversifying the STEM workforce and supporting talented students from across our communities,” said Gil Quiniones, CEO of ComEd. “The ComEd Scholars program seeks to give students knowledge, confidence, and resources to not only achieve their education and career aspirations, but to also have a meaningful impact in their communities for years to come.”

To qualify for the program, students must be recommended by their school. UIC’s financial aid office, in partnership with academic advisors and ComEd, then identify high-performing students facing significant financial burdens. Invited UIC applicants then submit a personal statement, financial-aid application and school transcripts. Illinois Tech’s financial aid office identifies students who meet the ComEd scholarship criteria to be considered for this program. These scholarships provide selected students with the necessary financial assistance to cover education-related costs that exceed financial aid.

“This partnership with ComEd allows our Illinois Tech scholars to lean and grow into the tech leaders of the future,” said Raj Echambadi, president of Illinois Institute of Technology. “This commitment to expand educational opportunities for all students impacts the advancement of technology for all.”

The ComEd Scholars program is one of several ComEd initiatives that build and empower a local, diverse workforce. In 2022, ComEd’s workforce programs had a direct impact for over 1,700 participants.

“ComEd's commitment to creating the diverse STEM workforce of the future exemplifies what it means to create equitable pathways for the next generation of leaders and change makers," added Dr. Javier Reyes, Interim Chancellor of the University of Illinois Chicago. “We are thankful for this partnership and investment in UIC students.”

The 2022 ComEd Scholars are:

  • Aaron Tillery – a second-year student from Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood, pursuing a degree in computer engineering at UIC.
  • Adrian Rodriguez – a second-year student from Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood, pursuing a degree in civil engineering at Illinois Tech.
  • Angelica Velazquez – a second-year student from Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering at Illinois Tech.
  • Chanel Hamilton – a first-year student from the Chicago’s South Suburban Community of Country Club Hills, pursuing a degree in engineering at UIC.

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.
