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.

Intuit Announces its Coalfield Solar Fund First Year Winners, Building a More Sustainable Future for Virginia and West Virginia

The grant program aims to advance renewable energy access and create new career pathways for Coalfield communities while reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform behind Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today announced the inaugural winners of the Coalfield Solar Fund initiative. In partnership with Secure Solar Futures and the NEED project, the initiative is designed to advance renewable energy and create new career pathways for Coalfield communities in Virginia and West Virginia. The first cohort of grant winners are Calhoun County Schools, Lee County Schools, Mercer County Schools, and Mountain Empire Community College. The program has granted $375,000 across Virginia and West Virginia to incentivize solar energy projects across their school districts. The project offers new career pathways and education opportunities while reducing carbon emissions, aligning with Intuit's Climate Positive program goal of reducing 2 million metric tons of carbon emissions by 2030 outside Intuit’s operational footprint.

The Coalfield Solar Fund launched in March 2023 to support underserved school districts and community colleges in Virginia and West Virginia and surrounding regions facing economic challenges. The winning districts will receive incentive grants to finance sustainability projects, infrastructure updates, and other initiatives to benefit students, in addition to solar installations, at no upfront cost via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Secure Solar Futures. Additionally, the program is committed to advancing local career pathways in renewable energy by funding paid work-based learning programs and continuing to deploy The NEED Project’s Throwing Solar Shade® STEM program for high school students.

“As we wrap up a successful inaugural year of the Coalfield Solar Fund, I am thrilled to announce that applications for the second year are now open,” stated Charlie Reed, Global Sustainability Lead at Intuit. “We are excited to continue supporting eligible educational institutions in designated Coalfield counties in Virginia and West Virginia. Intuit’s mission is to power prosperity for customers and communities. By helping teach skills needed in today’s jobs and creating renewable energy sources for future generations, we hope to have a positive impact throughout the region.”

The Coalfield Solar Fund is leading these school districts one step closer to a more sustainable future by providing renewable energy alternatives that reduce emissions and simultaneously create paid student learning opportunities for residents in Coalfield communities. With another round of applications opening this month, the Coalfield Solar Fund will continue to create new career pathways for students and expand its impact in the Coalfield region for years. Public school districts and community colleges in select Virginia and West Virginia counties are eligible to apply.

“It has been wonderful to see the impact and opportunities created by our initiative and one-of-a-kind Coalfield Solar Fund,” stated Anthony Smith, President at Secure Solar Futures. “By investing in solar projects, organizations like Intuit and Secure Solar Futures not only create job opportunities for the community but also provide a pathway for workforce development for the next generation. Through our partnerships with community colleges, students can earn college credits and gain real-world experience in electrical engineering, solar installation, and related fields, creating a more sustainable future for both the community and environment.”
