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 Poços de Caldas location in Brazil Earns Certification from Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI)

Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA) announced today that it has received certification from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) for its Poços de Caldas operations in Brazil.

All of the Company’s operating locations in Brazil are now ASI certified, which brings the global number of Alcoa sites that have earned ASI’s Performance Standard certification to 17.

Founded in 1965, the Poços de Caldas site was Alcoa’s first venture in Brazil. It includes a bauxite mine, alumina refinery, and aluminum casthouse, all of which passed the required assessments to earn ASI’s certification to the Performance Standard.

In addition, the Poços de Caldas location is the company’s sole producer of aluminum powder that can be used in a variety of industrial applications.

“This certification marks an important milestone in our efforts to ensure that all of our Brazilian operations adhere to the highest sustainability standards,” said Otavio Carvalheira, Alcoa’s President of Brazil and Vice President of Operations. “It demonstrates our commitment to our stakeholders that we always strive to operate safely, with protection of the environment and respect for people, and to produce products that will create a more sustainable future.”

The ASI Certification program is the most comprehensive in the aluminum industry, applicable to both upstream producers and downstream manufacturers. Its rigorous standards were developed in consultation with multiple stakeholders, and they cover material Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues affecting the entire aluminum value chain, such as greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and human rights.

“ASI warmly congratulates Alcoa on achieving Performance Standard Certification at its Poços de Caldas operations,” said Fiona Solomon, ASI’s Chief Executive Officer. “Sustainability is an ongoing journey that constantly challenges companies to improve and adapt.”

The location is also currently progressing on implementing press filtration for bauxite residue, an improvement first implemented in Western Australia that saves water and reduces land requirements for bauxite residue.

Alcoa Corporation’s global headquarters also recently earned ASI certification to the Performance Standard. The Company has the capability to sell ASI-certified bauxite, alumina, and aluminum globally due to locations being certified to both the Performance Standard and Chain of Custody (CoC) standards.

Alcoa’s ongoing membership and participation in ASI’s certification programs aligns with Alcoa’s core sustainability objectives – sharing value with host communities, improving the Company’s environmental footprint, and enhancing the value of its products through differentiation.
