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.

ICON releases its 2022 ICON Cares ESG Report

ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR) a world-leading healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation, today releases its ICON Cares 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The company’s ICON Cares initiative incorporates its ESG, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives under one program.

The report provides an overview of ICON’s ESG activities in 2022 and the progress it has made in advancing its ESG priorities. These priorities include advancing public health and delivering increased access to clinical trials, providing a diverse and inclusive workplace with continuous opportunities for professional development and conducting business sustainably.

In recognition of progress made in its ESG efforts, in 2022, ICON was awarded a silver medal by EcoVadis, a leading provider of business sustainability ratings. ICON’s score positioned the company in the 87th percentile of firms assessed by EcoVadis. To drive further progress on reducing GHG emissions, in April 2023, ICON signed its commitment letter to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as a first step in setting science-based climate targets.

On the publication of the report, Dr Steve Cutler, CEO, ICON commented: “This report shows what we can achieve for our customers, people, patients and communities as a leader in our industry. Our ESG priorities are in areas where we believe we can deliver the greatest impact, and we have made important progress toward these goals. Every advancement is underpinned by the energy, ambition and delivery of our global staff. I am highly encouraged as to what more we can accomplish in the future.”

Advancing public health and increased access to clinical trials

ICON has focused on creating a strong foundation that enables the execution of new and innovative methods for meeting patient needs and advancing public health. It is focusing its innovation efforts in three critical areas - improving clinical trial design and execution, enabling faster and more predictable patient recruitment, and evolving clinical trials to be more patient-centric.

Examples of activities in 2022 in this regard include:

  • ICON released a major artificial intelligence enhancement to its proprietary OneSearch tool, which identifies the best sites for a trial opportunity. The results include significantly improved study start-up and site cycle times.
  • In partnership with Veradigm, a health information technology, analytics and intervention solutions company, ICON created an electronic health records-based clinical research network. The partnership enables clinical research as a care option, which can help reach more diverse populations, increase recruitment rates and accelerate time-to-market for new therapies.

An inclusive workplace with continuous access to professional development

ICON continued its focus on building a diverse and inclusive workforce that provides professional advancement and career opportunities for its people. As an example of progress in this regard, in 2022, 59% of all promotions at VP level and above were female, bringing the total number of females at the VP level and above to 42%. This is important progress toward its goal to achieve gender parity at the VP level and above by 2025.

Conducting business sustainably

ICON is actively managing its environmental impact across its global business. Progress made in 2022 included:

  • 61.7% of electricity consumed in 2022 came from renewable sources
  • ICON’s combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions decreased by 23.5% since 2018 and 10% since 2021
  • 10% reduction in kilowatt hours of electricity since 2018

Strengthening communities

The report also outlines how ICON supports communities through corporate giving programs, employee volunteering opportunities and industry–academia partnerships. The company has aligned its efforts to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and its organisational goals of diversity, inclusion and belonging.

In 2022, ICON created a new scholarship program to provide greater opportunities for underrepresented groups to study STEM subjects. For the 2022/2023 academic year, ICON is funding 33 scholarships for STEM course students in partnership with three universities in Ireland and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund in the US. The latter is a not-for-profit organisation that supports nearly 300,000 students attending its 47 member schools, including publicly supported Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
