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.

ComEd Energy Efficiency Program Provides $8 Million in Incentives to Support 57 Affordable Housing Developments

89-unit Encuentro Square in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood is latest development project to break ground

To support the development of more energy-efficient, affordable-housing units across northern Illinois, while improving the comfort of the residents who reside there, ComEd has provided more than $8 million in incentives via 57 projects, or approximately 3,300 affordable-housing units since 2017.

Through ComEd’s Affordable Housing New Construction (AHNC) offering, the energy company offers technical assistance and incentives to developers of new and renovated affordable housing projects to help them exceed requirements of the Illinois Energy Conservation Code, which sets minimum efficiency standards in new construction for a structure's walls, floors, ceilings, lighting, windows, doors, duct leakage, and air leakage. These features not only improve the comfort of residents of these units, they also help the units become more energy efficient, which helps reduce energy costs.

“ComEd’s AHNC offering helps advance our goal of empowering developers to adopt higher efficiency equipment that will lower energy use, reduce carbon emissions and enhance air quality across all of our communities,” said Gil C. Quiniones, CEO of ComEd. “By collaborating with affordable housing developers, ComEd helps ensure families have equal access to housing and features that will help them manage both energy use and bills.”

Encuentro Square

The latest project to break ground is ComEd’s collaboration with Evergreen Real Estate Group and Latin United Community Housing Association (LUCHA) on the Encuentro Square development in Chicago’s Logan Square/Humboldt Park neighborhoods. The first phase of this project, in partnership with the City of Chicago and Chicago Housing Authority, consists of a total of 89 units of affordable housing across two new state-of-the-art buildings at the west end of the popular Bloomingdale, or 606, Trail. The project includes a substantial number of larger units dedicated to families earning at or below 60% of the state’s Area Median Income, or about $66,180 for a family of four.

When completed in late-2024, onsite amenities for the first phase will include a teaching kitchen, lounge, community room, children’s room, and community support services. Sustainable design features include high-efficiency HVAC equipment, LED lighting fixtures and ENERGY STAR®-certified appliances.

“Evergreen Real Estate Group is proud to be part of the collaboration between business, government and community that is providing critical affordable housing options for families along the 606 Trail,” said David Block, Director of Development at Evergreen Real Estate Group. “In addition, providing quality, energy-efficient units further ensures that families continue to have options in developing neighborhoods. This project will be an exclamation point where the 606 begins to the west.”

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 250 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.
