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.

Kimball Electronics Earns Prime ESG Corporate Rating From ISS ESG

Kimball Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KE) today announced that it has earned the “Prime” Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) Corporate rating from Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), one of the world’s leading rating agencies for corporate governance and sustainable investments. This distinction follows on ISS’s top-decile QualityScore rating of Kimball Electronics earlier this year in each of the three ESG pillars.

“A Prime rating means the Company fulfills ISS’s demanding requirements regarding sustainability performance in our Electronic Components sector. We are proud that our robust ESG programs and high level of transparency have earned us the Prime rating that places us among the top 10% in our industry,” said Ric Phillips, Chief Executive Officer. “Strong ESG performance like this is an increasingly important factor in attracting investors, and the ratings from ISS ESG and others are valuable guides for those seeking to identify sustainable companies like ours.”

This past year, Kimball Electronics published its annual ESG report with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frameworks and highlighted the Company’s alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Global Compact.

According to ISS ESG, companies with Prime status achieve/exceed the sustainability performance requirements (Prime threshold) for their specific industries measured across 100 sector-specific ESG factors.

In the past year, Kimball Electronics was recognized for its leadership in sustainability by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), which awarded the Company a “AA” rating in its ESG Ratings, ranking it among the top 9% of companies in the “Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components” industry.

In addition, Morningstar Sustainalytics, a leading ESG research, ratings, and data firm that supports investors around the world with the development and implementation of responsible investment strategies, rates Kimball Electronics #1 among both electronics manufacturers and the broader technology hardware industry for ESG risk. They also place Kimball Electronics in the top 5—not just top 5%, but top 5—of the over 15,000 companies around the world that they rate, because of the robustness of the Company’s ESG programs, practices, policies, and disclosures.

“We are pleased to have earned all 1s—the highest scores possible—on the ISS QualityScore and to have achieved the Prime rating,” said Doug Hass, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer and Secretary. “We are excited about our overall ESG progress, and the recognition that we have received from some notable organizations for our sustainability work. This recognition from ISS that Kimball Electronics is a market leader in ESG further underscores our deep commitment to sustainability, and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.”
