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.

Study shows properties of Ingevity’s Polyfon H dispersant for crop protection completely offset greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacture

Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT) today announced that a study conducted by consulting firm Environmental Resources Management (ERM), London, U.K., has determined the carbon negative properties of its lignin-based Polyfon® H dispersant completely offset the volume of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with its manufacture, resulting in a carbon footprint 122% lower than fossil carbon-based alternatives and positively impacting climate change.

“Ingevity’s research legacy in lignin process chemistry provides us with a wide range of high-quality, sustainable crop protection products like our Polyfon technology,” said Rich White, senior vice president, Performance Chemicals, and president, Industrial Specialties and Pavement Technologies. “ERM’s study now allows us to quantifiably realize the net positive GHG benefits of Polyfon as we continue to provide renewable solutions that help customers advance their sustainability goals and enhance their products’ performance.”

Used mainly as a dispersant in the agriculture industry for a diverse set of crop protection formulations including biological products, Polyfon is created from lignin, a renewable by-product of the kraft paper-making industry. According to the ERM study, the 2.2 metric tons (MT) of biogenic carbon dioxide - carbon pulled from the atmosphere and stored as carbon in the pine tree during tree growth - outbalance the 1.46 MT of carbon dioxide released with the energy use, materials, packaging and wastes associated with Polyfon manufacture, resulting in a negative carbon footprint, or a positive benefit to climate change.

ERM’s study notes that after application to crops, Polyfon’s innate biogenic carbon is expected to remain in the soil for at least a 100-year timeframe, storing the carbon in the soil instead of releasing it to the atmosphere to impact climate change.

ERM is a global provider of environmental, health, safety, risk, social and sustainability-related consulting services, and relied on the IPCC 2013 Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) method to calculate the product’s GHG emissions to assess climate change potential. This approach is consistent with the assumptions of the LCIA study conducted by Franklin Associates for the American Chemistry Council Pine Chemistry Panel. ERM used the Franklin Associates study as the source of carbon footprint data for the tall oil rosin input.

This is the fourth study in Ingevity’s ongoing review of the environmental impacts of its major product lines. For more information on ERM’s net product benefit study of Polyfon H, please visit the sustainability page on Ingevity’s website.
