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.

ICON Releases its 2021 ESG Report

ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR) a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation, today releases its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report.

The report outlines how ICON is delivering on its ESG commitments and measured its performance in a number of key areas, including the social impact it is having on advancing public health, its continued diversity and inclusion focus, how it conducts its business sustainably and its commitment to ethics and quality.

On the publication of the report, Steve Cutler, CEO, ICON commented: “This report showcases ICON’s commitment to delivering positive impacts for our colleagues, our customers, our communities and the patients we serve. I am proud of the progress we have made on our ESG plans and priorities as shown by the report and I am excited about the further progress we will make going forward.”

Examples of how ICON progressed its ESG commitments in 2021 include:

Advancing public health

ICON’s work spans continents, delivering services in developed countries and traditionally underserved regions and helps to improve access to healthcare for people worldwide.

ICON did significant work in 2021 in the fight against COVID-19. This included providing clinical trials services to the Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX) investigational COVID-19 vaccine programme, which was the first COVID-19 vaccine to receive FDA approval. Overall in 2021, ICON supported 26 drug approvals.

In 2021, the company invested in patient centric innovation using technology and partnerships. In addition to developing strategic partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem to drive increased access to healthcare, ICON has focused on innovative approaches and technologies to drive progress in clinical research.

Focus on diversity and inclusion

In 2021, ICON focused on promoting diversity within its own company and the industry overall. From a patient perspective, one of ICON’s key ambitions is to make it easier for patients, across all dimensions of diversity, to be part of clinical research. In its work with Pfizer and BioNTech, ICON supported their Phase 3, late-stage study of the COVID-19 vaccine in enrolling over 40% of participants from diverse backgrounds. In order to increase diversity of participation in clinical trials, ICON has also focused on clinical research as a care option (CRAACO) and has actively worked with the Association of Clinical Research Organisations (ACRO) to support the industry in achieving greater diversity and equity.

Within its own company, community groups are one of the ways in which ICON promotes diversity, inclusion and belonging, by bringing together employees with common identities and related interests. These groups are:

  • NOW@ICON: The Networking Organisation for Women at ICON
  • PRIDE: Supporting LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies
  • DAWN: The Disability Awareness Network
  • SPACE: Supporting Parents and Carers Everywhere
  • EmbRACE: Supporting all race and ethnic backgrounds

Conducting business sustainably

ICON is actively managing its environmental impact across its global business. Progress achieved in 2021 included:

  • 40% of the way to reducing electricity consumption by 20% by 2030.
  • Since 2018, Scope 3 business travel emissions have decreased by 60%.
  • Consolidated 37 office locations to align with new working styles and business needs. This includes office building closures and modifications and a flexible working policy.

Supporting communities

In addition to the pivotal role ICON played in COVID-19 vaccine development, the company also participated in the UNICEF Corporate Vaccine Alliance in 2021, donating significant funds to support the purchase of 38,000 vaccine doses - one on behalf of each ICON employee.

ICON also continued with its employee-led charitable donation program, which has supported over 90 charities since 2012. During 2021, ICON donated $200,000 split between 20 organisations chosen by employees. The selected organisations focus on a range of critical issues from relieving poverty and homelessness to improving child welfare through education and enhancing the lives of people living with a variety of diseases.
