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.

First Interstate Subscribes to Two Community Solar Gardens to Increase Sustainability

By: via Business Wire

First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIBK) is increasing its sustainability efforts by subscribing to two community solar gardens — one in Iowa and one in Oregon. Community solar gardens are solar projects built in partnership with utility providers to generate solar power close to where it is consumed. They offer multiple subscribers the opportunity to participate and receive renewable, local, clean energy.

“We’ve been searching for impactful ways to increase our sustainability efforts while continuing to demonstrate our commitment to the communities we serve,” explained Kevin P. Riley, First Interstate’s president and CEO. “Participating in these community solar gardens helps us achieve both these goals.”

The Alliant Energy Community Solar – Cedar Rapids garden, located in Iowa, will enable First Interstate to offset 100% of Scope 2 emissions associated with the current electricity consumption in 19 of its 45 Iowa locations. Scope 2 emissions are those created by indirect sources, such as power plants that generate electricity. The solar garden is currently under construction with energy production to begin in early 2024.

“We’ve learned that businesses, like First Interstate, are increasingly interested in solar and renewables as efficient ways to meet sustainability goals,” said May Farlinger, Vice President Customer and Community Engagement for Alliant Energy. “The simplicity and flexibility of community solar allows companies, especially those with multiple locations, to benefit from clean energy without the need to build, operate and maintain their own systems.”

Burlingame Solar is a 2.1 megawatt alternating current (MWac) project being developed by Greenkey Development near the town of Brownsville, Oregon. It will enable First Interstate to offset approximately 80% of Scope 2 emissions associated with the current electricity consumption in 22 of its 32 Oregon locations. Construction on the solar garden will start in Q1 2024 with energy production to commence in Q3 2024.

First Interstate is an anchor tenant—and the first bank subscriber—in each community solar garden, subscribing to 15% of the Alliant Energy Community Solar – Cedar Rapids garden and 22% of Burlingame Solar. First Interstate has made a 20-year commitment to both projects.

The projects will utilize renewable energy certificates (RECs). The RECs First Interstate receives are proof the company is offsetting its overall energy usage with renewable energy and can be claimed toward First Interstate’s sustainability goals. RECs are issued when one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity is generated and delivered to the power grid from a renewable energy source.

First Interstate has been advised by Blu Ox Ventures in developing its clean energy strategy.
