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.

Avangrid Hosts First Trades Job Fair for Local Technical High School Students

By: via Business Wire

More than 130 students from 17 Connecticut technical high schools learn about career opportunities in the trades

Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and part of the Iberdrola Group, today held its first Trades Job Fair for more than 130 Connecticut technical high school students to introduce them to trade career opportunities at Avangrid. As part of the program, students participated in interactive demonstrations of the career opportunities within Avangrid and its subsidiary companies United Illuminating, Southern Connecticut Gas, and Connecticut Natural Gas.

“Since our inception as a company, Avangrid has led the energy industry in developing new, innovative programs that deepen our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Pedro Azagra, CEO of Avangrid. “Today’s Trades Job Fair, the first in Avangrid’s history, highlights the many opportunities a career in the trades can produce, and it is yet another example of the positive impact our company is making in Connecticut and beyond. I am proud of our team’s hard work in bringing this important Job Fair to life, and I hope to see many of the students who attended in future internships and early career opportunities at Avangrid.”

The Trades Job Fair was a keynote event in Avangrid’s annual Diversity Week, which reaffirmed the company’s commitment to putting the principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in action. By showcasing the opportunities for careers in the trades, members of the Avangrid team sought to promote vocational education and strengthen the company’s relationship with technical high schools in the area. Students had the opportunity to interact with prototypes of electrical poles, examine the tools used in gas pipeline analysis, and speak one-on-one with field staff about their careers with UI, SCG, and CNG. Students also had the opportunity to review their resumes with members of the Avangrid Human Resources team.

“At Avangrid, we know that building a diverse company is key to our success and essential to fulfilling our role as a good community partner,” said Camila Souza, Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Avangrid. “Building a pipeline from local technical high schools is an indispensable tool for recruiting diverse talent who are familiar with the communities we serve and interested in long-term career advancement with us. I look forward to continuing to deepen our relationships with the schools in attendance today to benefit both their students and our company.”

The students in attendance represented 17 Connecticut technical high schools, including several in Avangrid subsidiary United Illuminating (UI)’s service area, such as Eli Whitney Technical High School in Hamden, Bullard-Havens Technical High School in Bridgeport, and Platt Technical High School in Milford. Members of UI’s line crew, who are also members of the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 470-1, invited the students to apply for the second iteration of the Avangrid/UI Union Scholars Program, the 10-week line worker internship program that will begin in June 2024.

“We are glad to have all the seniors at Bullard Havens here attending today’s Job Fair,” said Sandeep Tibrewal, Dean of Students and Attendance at Bullard-Havens Technical High School. “Last summer, we were proud that four of our electrical students took the opportunity for a fabulous internship with UI. They were making almost $30 an hour, which is almost unheard of. Thank you to UI for giving the opportunity to our school, and hopefully in the future, we will have more opportunities like this.”

“Between UI, SCG, and CNG, there are a lot of options here,” said Jonathan Berroa, a senior at Eli Whitney Technical High School.. “It’s pretty interesting to see how all this works. I didn’t know you could do any of this, but now I’m here today, and I think I could do a lot of this stuff. It’s really cool – I like it.”
