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.

Utilities Tackle Disruptions With Asset Management Tools

By: via Business Wire

Aging power grids, green energy expansion and growing risks make knowledge and control of plants and equipment more essential than ever, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

A growing number of utilities are adopting enterprise asset management (EAM) tools and software to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of plants and equipment, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ global Power and Utilities Industry — Software and Platforms report finds that asset management represents a major expense for water, gas and electricity utilities and EAM software helps them boost operating efficiency, cut emissions and reduce costs while maximizing uptime.

“Power and utility grids are aging, and decarbonization and stricter regulations are placing new demands on them,” said Bob Lutz, partner, Energy & Utilities, at ISG. “For utilities to reliably serve customers into the future, advanced asset management is more important than ever.”

The rapid transition to wind, solar and other green energy sources is forcing electric utilities to adapt to more distributed infrastructure and new energy production patterns, ISG says. At the same time, increasing electrification of buildings and vehicles is changing patterns of demand. More frequent extreme weather events are causing higher damages every year, leading utilities to focus on grid resiliency, reliability and disaster preparedness.

New capabilities made available through cloud computing, AI, analytics and IoT are accelerating innovation by providers, ISG says. EAM platforms and software, along with asset performance management (APM), can track an asset’s age, usage and maintenance history and use analytics for predictive maintenance and better decision-making. Deployment of IoT devices in conjunction with EAM is enhancing utilities’ collection of real-time data on asset performance, which can be used to reduce safety risks and downtime. Looking ahead, better knowledge of existing assets and their performance can better prepare utilities to deliver new products and services.

In their quest to glean more insights from a range of data types, including asset maintenance, weather warnings and customer preferences, utilities increasingly are exploring centralized data storage and cloud-based platforms, the report says. Migrating key workloads to the cloud can increase resiliency, so utilities are working with providers to address challenges to cloud adoption, including regulations affecting the storage of sensitive data and the financing of cloud projects.

“Consolidating information about assets can empower workers, managers and technicians to access data in real time, which accelerates workflows,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Asset management providers are helping utilities move to more modern data systems.”

The report also explores other utility asset management trends, including the importance of change management and new cybersecurity vulnerabilities that come with intelligent grids.

For more insights into the asset management challenges facing utilities and advice for overcoming them, including pay-per-use options to try out new solutions, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ global Power and Utilities Industry — Software and Platforms report evaluates the capabilities of 12 providers in one quadrant: Enterprise Asset Management Software Solutions.

The report names Hitachi Energy, IBM, IFS and SAP as Leaders in the quadrant.
