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.

Horace Mann releases 2022 Corporate Social Responsibility reporting

Reaches 50% carbon emissions reduction target; reiterates commitment to supporting underserved financial services needs of educators

Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE: HMN) today announced its 2022 Corporate Social Responsibility reporting is available at csr.horacemann.com.

“As a mission-centric organization, helping educators achieve a lifetime of financial success is not just what we do — it’s who we are,” Horace Mann President & CEO Marita Zuraitis said in her annual message. “Our company strives to be a responsible corporate citizen and have a positive effect on all our stakeholders.”

In 2022, Horace Mann achieved its goal to cut Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions in half — far ahead of its initial target of 2030. The carbon-reduction initiative, which began in 2019, included installing a new, more efficient HVAC system; adding LED lighting and lighting motion sensors; and replacing single-pane windows at its 230,000-foot Springfield facility with double-pane insulated glass. The company also invested in renewable energy by installing more than 500 solar panels at its headquarters location.

“As an insurance and financial services company, Horace Mann has a relatively modest carbon footprint,” Zuraitis said. “However, we believe it’s important to do our part to contribute to a larger environmental benefit. We will continue the work to minimize our carbon footprint, and plan to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.”

Horace Mann reports its corporate social responsibility progress against the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainable Accounting Standards Board (SASB) models. In 2022, the company expanded the information it makes publicly available in the areas of business ethics, human capital management, data security and privacy, and responsible product offerings. These include:

  • Implementing a more transparent process for updating the company-wide Privacy Policy that governs the use of customer information.
  • Sharing self-identified demographic information of our current employees and new hires to provide a foundation for the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
  • Publishing standalone Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Bribery/Anti-Corruption policies to codify expectations of ethical behavior.

The Horace Mann Educators Corporation and Horace Mann Educators Foundation contributed nearly $1 million to charitable causes in 2022. The company supported classroom crowdfunding organization DonorsChoose with a $500,000 sponsorship, and the Foundation donated $425,000 to support educator projects, employees’ charitable giving matches, and grants that support communities where employees live and work. The Foundation supported projects and initiatives in each community Horace Mann has a significant office presence: Dallas; Madison, Wisc.; Cherry Hill, N.J.; and its headquarters location of Springfield, Ill.

“Supporting educators is more important now than ever, considering the negative impact the current U.S. teacher shortage is having on student learning and educator morale,” Zuraitis said. “Through Horace Mann’s solutions and resources, such as educator financial wellness workshops, complimentary Student Loan Solutions management accounts and support for classroom projects through DonorsChoose, we are a partner to the underserved educational community. Helping educators achieve lifelong financial success and working with school districts to offer more robust benefit packages are ways we can help strengthen educator retention nationwide.”
