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 Employees Save More Than Half a Million Dollars Through Student Loan Repayment Program

By: via Business Wire

More than 460 employees enrolled in benefit aimed at reducing burden of student loan debt

Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced today that its Student Loan Debt Repayment program has saved its employees more than half a million dollars in principal and estimated interest. Avangrid became one of the first energy companies in the United States to have a student loan debt repayment benefit when it launched the program in February 2023. To date, more than 460 Avangrid employees have enrolled.

Student loan debt is one of the biggest financial burdens facing Americans. Currently, nearly 44 million borrowers hold student loans that total more than $1.75 trillion in federal and private student loan debt. This surpasses all categories of consumer debt other than mortgages.

“I am very proud that Avangrid, like all members of the Iberdrola Group, has diverse and modern benefits like our leading Student Loan Debt Repayment Program, which directly supports our team who are most burdened with student debt,” said Pedro Azagra, CEO of Avangrid. “Student loan debt not only has a negative financial impact, but it also impacts mental health. It’s a systematic problem that touches every corner of the county and our workforce. To see our program surpass half a million dollars saved in such a short amount of time is incredible and demonstrates that this benefit is truly fulfilling a need.”

Avangrid’s Student Loan Debt Repayment Program is available to non-union employees and offers participants a $250 monthly payment, up to a lifetime maximum of $9,000, paid directly to their eligible student loan provider(s). Among the enrolled employees is Garrett Johnson, a manager of business management with Avangrid’s renewables business.

“In recent years there has been a lot of talk about student loan forgiveness on a national level, but I never expected an employer to offer this as a benefit,” said Johnson. “I’ve refinanced my loans over the years to lower my interest rates, but this is the first time I have been offered direct relief to my total outstanding balance. I’ve been with the company for 11 years now and have always believed that Avangrid cares about their employees as much as they care about their business. This benefit shows that.”

About Avangrid: Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR) aspires to be the leading sustainable energy company in the United States. Headquartered in Orange, CT with approximately $41 billion in assets and operations in 24 U.S. states, Avangrid has two primary lines of business: networks and renewables. Through its networks business, Avangrid owns and operates eight electric and natural gas utilities, serving more than 3.3 million customers in New York and New England.

In 2023, Avangrid ranked first within the utility sector for its commitment to the environment. The company supports the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals and was named among the World’s Most Ethical Companies in 2023 for the fifth consecutive year by the Ethisphere Institute.
