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 Named Top Innovator by Public Utilities Fortnightly

By: via Business Wire

Awarded Lewis Latimer Top Innovator in Design for Avangrid’s Cyber Security Simulation in Metaverse project

Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, announced today that is has been named a 2023 Top Innovator by Public Utilities Fortnightly. The company received the Lewis Latimer Top Innovator in Design Award for its Cyber Security Simulation in Metaverse project, which created cybersecurity simulations to help the team update and improve its proactive defense strategies.

“We’re always exploring how innovative and disruptive technologies like the metaverse can be applied to solve our most critical business challenges—such as how we prepare and respond to system emergencies,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “I’m very happy to see this project earning recognition as I think it’s a great example of where this technology can go. As we think about the future, the metaverse environment will provide opportunity to simulate real world spaces and enable hands on experiences for our workers and stakeholders, all for the benefit of our customers.”

The project built three interconnected virtual meta-worlds: an electrical substation, the electrical control center and a virtual cyber security collaboration meeting room. These meta-worlds were created in detail and included everything from overhead lines and transformers to an interactive control room. The pilot project then simulated cyber-attacks in the meta-worlds, such as a cybersecurity event in a substation that causes a fire and results in power outages. The Avangrid security team ran through these simulations using a virtual reality platform to identify, respond to and mitigate/eliminate the cyber threat.

“Imagine you hear an explosion, alarms are going off and there are employees scrambling to respond—what do you do?” said Carl Young, chief information officer at Avangrid. “This scenario is almost impossible to simulate in the real-world, but in the metaverse we can replay it over and over in a safe and controlled environment. This simulation can help us predict adversaries' behaviors and tactics as well as understand the impact on our infrastructure and the effectiveness of our processes and plans to mitigate and address these risks.”

The Avangrid team members who will be honored by Public Utilities Fortnightly are Carl Young, Mansur Mohammed, Robert Antonellis, James Fox, Crispin Gathuru, Jada Pinto and Ummi Rahman. The project was created in partnership with Microsoft and Bravent.
