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.

ERI’s John Shegerian Points to Offshore Ship Fire Caused by Batteries as ‘Wake-Up Call’

By: via Business Wire

Citing global news coverage of a fire decimating a ship transporting 4000 vehicles, John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of ERI, the nation’s largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, has warned that the incident is just the tip of the iceberg and a sign of what’s to come when lithium-ion batteries are not handled properly.

Lithium-ion batteries in electric cars on board the vehicle carrier Felicity Ace caught fire and because of the nature of battery-triggered fires, the blaze was particularly challenging for specialists to extinguish.

“Lithium-ion batteries are a tremendous and innovative asset to the environment in that they power zero emission vehicles,” said Shegerian, “but when handled or managed incorrectly, they present huge safety and fire risks, as evidenced by the Felicity Ace disaster this week. An even more important point to consider is what happens to these batteries at the end of their useful lives. It is critical that lithium-ion batteries be responsibly recycled.”

In a recent opinion-editorial published by Newsweek, Shegerian also stressed the critical need for improved battery recycling infrastructure and awareness.

“With battery-related fire incidents becoming commonplace from transport scenarios to warehouse storage facilities, it’s well past the time for legislation to be put in place to establish national standards for the management of lithium-ion batteries,” said Shegerian. “New legislation pertaining to the safe disposal of batteries is beginning to mount on a regional basis, which is promising, but we need full-scale public awareness, investor uptake and political support immediately if we want to enjoy a truly green, safe and responsible 21st century.”

ERI is the largest fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company in the United States. ERI is certified at the highest level by all leading environmental and data security oversight organizations to de-manufacture, recycle, and refurbish every type of electronic device in an environmentally responsible manner. ERI has the capacity to process more than a billion pounds of electronic waste annually at its eight certified locations, serving every zip code in the United States. ERI’s mission is to protect people, the planet and privacy. For more information about e-waste recycling and ERI, call 1-800-ERI-DIRECT or visit https://eridirect.com.
