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.

AEM Releases 2022 U.S. Lightning Report

By: via Business Wire

Over 572 million lightning pulses detected across the country

AEM, the essential source for environmental insights, today announced the release of its 2022 U.S. Lightning Report. Throughout 2022, the company’s Earth Networks Total Lightning Network® detected more than 86 million total lightning flashes, which were comprised of over 572 million total lightning pulses.

Unsurprisingly, the lightning capital of the United States, Florida, led all other states with the greatest density of lightning flashes. Its 103 lightning flashes per square mile translated to more than 5.5 million total lightning flashes across the state, and those flashes were made up of more than 62 million lightning pulses.

Although Florida had the most lightning activity per square mile, it was Hawaii that had the most thunder hours, or hours with lightning activity in its vicinity (more than 23,000).

“Hawaii’s high number of thunder hours might seem surprising, since Hawaii has one of the lowest lightning densities of any state,” said Dr. Elizabeth DiGangi, a lightning scientist at AEM. “However, Hawaii’s tropical ocean climate results in frequent thunderstorms on and around the island chain, which in aggregate produce much less lightning than those we typically see across the continental United States. This is why thunder hours are an important supplemental metric for understanding thunderstorm frequency – a piece of the story not well-captured by measurements of only lightning volume and lightning density.”

At the county level, six Florida counties made the top-10 list of counties with the densest lightning activity. However, the county with the densest lightning activity was Poquoson City, Va., with an average of 300 lightning flashes per square mile. Providing context for the observation, Dr. DiGangi noted, “Poquoson City is situated near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, a region that the National Park Service reports has experienced greater precipitation extremes and a 10% increase in annual precipitation.”

Other noteworthy insights from the report:

  • California, another state with a comparatively low amount of lighting activity per square mile, ranked among the top 10 states for most thunder hours (likely driven by the state’s monsoon season, which can bring frequent storms with minimal lightning activity to the mountains).
  • The monsoon season was also a key factor in an exceptional lightning storm that sparked fires across California – and in creating the conditions that helped prevent those fires from causing much more destruction.
  • We explain why Hurricane Ian’s dramatic spike in lightning activity before making landfall in Florida was accompanied by a sudden increase in wind speeds.
  • We examine why the lighting activity that visited northwestern New York in mid-November came with record-setting snowfall.

Dr. DiGangi will present findings from the 2022 U.S. Lightning Report, along with her expert commentary, during a free webinar on Feb. 15. To register and get details about the event, visit the AEM website.

The lightning activity detailed in the report was detected by AEM’s proprietary Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN), which monitors both in-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning activity in more than 100 countries. With more than 1,800 sensors and scientifically advanced detection algorithms, the ENTLN is the most extensive lightning detection network in the world. In fact, since algorithm changes in 2021, the ENTLN detects 50% more lightning worldwide than ever before. Plus, in regions with higher sensor density, the network’s lightning detection efficiency climbs above 95%.
