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.

Alcoa’s Massena Operations Earns Certification from Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI)

Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA) today announced that its Massena facility in New York has earned provisional certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) for both its smelter and casthouse.

Massena is the world’s longest continuously operating smelter, with aluminum production beginning in 1902. During its long history of manufacturing excellence, the smelter has undergone numerous upgrades and currently has a nameplate capacity of 130,000 metric tons, all powered by renewable hydroelectricity.

“Earning certifications from ASI aligns with our vision to reinvent the aluminum industry for a sustainable future,” said John Slaven, Alcoa’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer. “This recognition for Massena is welcome news for the facility’s 120 years of continual production and the important work that our employees do there every day to consistently improve for the benefit of our customers, communities and the environment.”

The provisional ASI Performance Standard certification will bring Alcoa’s total number of facilities certified to ASI’s standards to 16 global sites. Also, Alcoa has earned ASI’s Chain of Custody certification, which allows the company to globally market and sell ASI-certified aluminum. The Performance Standard certifications and the Chain of Custody (CoC) certification align with two of Alcoa’s core sustainability objectives – improving the company’s operational footprint and enhancing the value of its products through differentiation.

The ASI Certification program is the most comprehensive in the industry, developed via a multi-stakeholder consultation process that defines robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and criteria, including key issues such as biodiversity, rights for Indigenous Peoples, and greenhouse gas emissions.

“ASI congratulates Alcoa on Massena’s achievements for the aluminum sector and the historical industrial development it helped bring to the region,” said Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI. “During its proud history, the facility has continued innovating to meet the challenges of a constantly changing sustainability landscape, and achieving Performance Standard Certification is a demonstration of this commitment.”

The provisional status is due to some criteria requiring an on-site evaluation by an ASI accredited auditor, a practice that complies with ASI’s updated bylaws related to the travel delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
