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.

ComEd Goats Celebrate a Successful Summer with a Chicago Stay-Cation

Goats have supported ComEd crews this summer by clearing grass and brush under power lines to support sustainable, reliable energy

After two weeks of clearing seven acres of hard-to-reach brush under power lines in Matthiessen State Park in LaSalle County, Ill., ComEd’s four-legged employees are taking a Windy City Goat Tour to explore Chicago. Nearly a dozen goats will be driven around the goat-to spots in the city, while increasing awareness around ComEd’s goat vegetation management program—one of many programs which enables the utility to run one of the most reliable and resilient power grids in the country.

“We are so excited to have the goats join us for a day on the town to celebrate their hard work clearing vegetation around power lines,” said Michelle Blaise, Senior Vice President of Technical Services at ComEd. “This event highlights one of the many innovative and sustainable ways ComEd works to avoid outages and provide continued reliability to families and businesses across northern Illinois.”

The goats will take a driving tour of Chicago on an all-electric ComEd truck with members of the ComEd team between 11 and 3pm with 30-minute stops at Pioneer Court beginning at 11:30, 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30 on Tuesday, August 29. All members of the public are invited to meet the goats at Pioneer Court while learning more about ComEd’s efforts to improve grid reliability and resiliency in our region.

Since 2019, over 200 goats have supported ComEd in clearing vegetation in places that are difficult for human crews to access and safely address in northern Illinois. The goats play a critical role in helping ComEd avoid outages and service disruptions due to overgrown vegetation near power lines. This is the second year the goats have supported vegetation management in Matthiessen State Park, with plans to return in 2024.

Among its benefits, the program drives maximum efficiency of this work, cutting the cost and time needed to clear the area by more than half, while also reducing safety risks for workers and air emissions from fuel-burning equipment.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 250 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.
