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.

Avangrid Companies Receive EEI Emergency Response Award

Award Honors Recovery and Assistance Efforts in Maine and New York during Unprecedented Winter Storm Elliott

Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced it has received its fourteenth Edison Electric Institute (EEI) Emergency Response Award. The award honors the extraordinary performance of Avangrid companies Central Maine Power (CMP), New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG), and Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) during recovery and restoration efforts from Winter Storm Elliot this past December.

“I am continually amazed by the depth of our team’s commitment to ensuring safe, reliable service,” said Avangrid CEO Pedro Azagra. “Despite 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts and whiteout conditions over Christmas weekend, our team across New York and Maine worked quickly to restore power to over 540,000 customers in a matter of days. The planning, preparation, and response to Winter Storm Elliott was a team effort, and all of us at Avangrid are immensely proud to receive EEI’s momentous Emergency Response Award in recognition of those efforts.”

Presented to EEI member companies twice a year, the Emergency Response Awards recognize recovery and assistance efforts of electric companies following service disruptions caused by extreme weather or other natural events. Following an international nomination process, EEI announced the Avangrid companies as a recipients during EEI’s summer Board of Directors and CEO meeting held in conjunction with EEI 2023.

“Ensuring the safety of our customers, communities, and crews is our industry’s top priority. Safety is especially critical during severe storms and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and winter storms,” said EEI President and CEO Tom Kuhn. “I commend Avangrid’s commitment to restoring service for its customers safely and efficiently under challenging conditions following Winter Storm Elliott. Avangrid and its storm response team are extremely deserving of this national recognition, and I am honored to present them with this well-earned recovery award.”

Winter Storm Elliott entered the northeastern United States on December 23, 2022 as a unique weather phenomenon known as a bomb cyclone, and the storm produced significant damage in upstate New York and Maine. On December 23-24, snow accumulations reached up to 51.5 inches in Buffalo, and wind gusts approached 70 miles per hour on the Maine coastline. Crews worked quickly to restore outages, resolve transmission issues and repair 400 broken poles, and company employees spent nearly 85,000 hours on restoration efforts, largely over the Christmas holiday.

“The thousands of hours that our lineworkers, customer service representatives, contractors and other team members invested in restoring power to our customers was a truly remarkable recovery effort,” said Joe Purington, President and CEO of CMP. “This award is a testament to the dedication of our entire team as they responded to the call of duty during Winter Storm Elliott, and I am pleased EEI chose to recognize and honor their hard work.”

“The comprehensive pre-planning and swift response before and during Winter Storm Elliott were integral to successfully managing the impacts of this event,” said Patricia Nilsen, President and CEO of NYSEG and RG&E. “As climate change drives increasingly intense and volatile storms, our team will continue to remain dedicated to delivering safe, reliable power, even in the midst of extreme weather events. This honor truly belongs to them.”
