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.

Consolidated Communications Wins Nearly $17 Million to Expand Fiber Internet in Maine

By: via Business Wire

Maine Connectivity Authority grants will help bring reliable, symmetrical fiber internet to 15,800 homes across 15 rural Maine communities

Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL) a leading Fiber-to-the-Home (FttH) provider, will bring its multi-gig internet service, Fidium to more than 15,800 homes and businesses in rural Maine, funded in part with two grants totaling nearly $17 million from Maine Connectivity Authority (MCA).

“We’re thrilled to be working collaboratively with rural communities throughout Maine to close the rural digital divide,” said Sarah Davis, vice president of government affairs at Consolidated. “Maine Connectivity Authority is doing incredible work in empowering communities and providers to find solutions that bring reliable, high-speed internet to consumers and small businesses.”

Consolidated partnered with the towns of Skowhegan, Madison, Cornville and Canaan to apply for MCA’s Connect the Ready grant program. The program encourages proactive partnerships and collaborative efforts to design, fund and build universal broadband service to mostly underserved and unserved communities in Maine. The grant awarded will provide $8.8 million to aid in reaching 12,500 homes.

“We are thankful that Consolidated Communications asked us to partner with them on this broadband expansion project and that our application was successful in obtaining the largest grant from Maine Connectivity Authority’s Connect the Ready Program,” said Christine Almand, town manager for Skowhegan. “This project will provide the opportunity for a fiber connection to every residence and business in the Town of Skowhegan. Although the Town has been discussing our needs for high-speed, reliable internet access for more than a decade, those needs became much more apparent at the onset of the pandemic. This project will improve the lives of our citizens socially and economically.”

MCA’s Reach Me line extension grant program incentivizes providers to extend their existing fiber network to all unserved locations in the area. Consolidated worked with the Greater East Grand Region Economic Council and was awarded $8.1 million in funding to extend FttH internet service to 3,300 homes and small businesses in Bancroft, Brookton, Danforth, Drew Plantation, Glenwood Plantation, Haynesville, Forest, Forest City, Orient, Reed Plantation, and Weston, Maine.

“Every economic and community development strategy in Greater East Grand region depends on having access to high-speed broadband,” said Sarah Strickland, interim director Greater East Grand Economic Council. “This investment through Consolidated is a game changer for the people of this region, and all 11 communities are thrilled.”

Consolidated is bringing reliable, fiber broadband services to rural Maine, and to date has brought fiber internet to 147,000 homes and small businesses since 2021. In addition to these recent awards, Consolidated and MCA also collaborated on an $18.3 million grant from NTIA to build FttH to more than 22,000 homes and businesses in the Blue Hill Peninsula, the Rangeley area and the town of Farmington. Those projects are scheduled to be completed by spring 2023.
