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.

Itron’s 2021 Environmental Social Governance Report Highlights Industry Need for Efficient Management of Energy and Water for Future Generations

Through Increased Commitments to Reduce Emissions and Industry Innovation for Sustainability, Itron Advances Progress Toward UN Sustainable Development Goals to Build a More Resourceful World

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, today released its 2021 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report, highlighting its commitment to long-term sustainability through advanced initiatives which increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Through its advanced technology solutions and partnership with utilities, Itron is enhancing efficient management of energy and water as well as educating consumers on how to take an active role in managing resource use.

As part of Itron’s ESG strategy, the company has set aggressive objectives and enterprise initiatives that align efforts with the United Nation (U.N.) Sustainable Development Goals including:

  • Fifty percent reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2028 (over the 2019 baseline)
  • Carbon-neutral operations by 2035
  • Net zero by 2050 or sooner
  • Committed to join the Science-Based Target Initiative with alignment to the 1.5 degrees Celsius standard
  • Pledge to assist and enhance consumers and utilities to improve their sustainability through advanced solutions and services. In 2021 alone, Itron estimates that its electricity automated metering infrastructure (AMI) solutions across more than 64 million endpoints helped customers in the U.S. and Canada cumulatively avoid over 3.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions

These goals align with Itron’s redefined carbon model and improvement of reporting methodology. The quantifiable targets and shift to location-based emissions reporting for all Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas metrics will drive Itron toward its net zero goal by 2050. The report also includes optional reporting for Scope 3 emissions, which continue to be refined and evaluated as a part of our overall carbon model.

“We are facing a critical time in history where today’s decisions on how we conserve and manage our energy and water resources will shape the lives of future generations,” said Tom Deitrich, Itron’s president and CEO. “Itron continues to build sustainability and ESG initiatives into every aspect of our operations and push the industry to do so as well by offering innovative solutions for utilities and their customers and working with our employees to unlock their resourcefulness. Our efforts are aligned with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, and as a participant of the U.N. Global Compact, we adhere to its principles-based approach to responsible business practice and further Itron’s vision to create a more resourceful world.”

Itron’s ESG strategy focuses on four key pillars to advance efficient management of energy and water. The 2021 ESG report highlights the efforts related to:

  • Environmental and Operational Stewardship – Itron realigned its organization to be more agile and responsive to the market, economic and environmental changes. To address supply chain disruptions, Itron launched 12 related initiatives to secure materials, meet customer demand and streamline its supplier ecosystem in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • Solution Impact and Community Involvement – Itron’s AMI not only reduces the number of truck rolls for utilities and those CO2 emissions, but also gives consumers the power to manage their energy use which leads to per-customer reductions that are 20 to 40 times more effective at reducing CO2 emissions than truck rolls alone.
  • Inclusion and Human Capital Pledge – Itron’s investment in its employees is shown through the newly established I&D Center of Excellence to drive inclusion and diversity initiatives, the launching of leadership and development programs, wellness initiatives and expanded assistance programs.
  • Shareholder Advocacy – Itron leadership advanced its commitment to keep sustainability at the center of all aspects of business operations through continuous oversight and improvement.
