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.

AEM Releases 2023 U.S. Lightning Report

By: via Business Wire

A Year of Meteorological Surprises: Over 558 Million Lightning Pulses and Diverse Weather Phenomena

AEM, the essential source for environmental insights, today released its 2023 U.S. Lightning Report. Last year, AEM’s Earth Networks Total Lightning Network® detected over 558 million lightning pulses within 92 million lightning flashes across the U.S., a notable 6.6% increase from 2022. This surge in lightning activity was accompanied by a range of extraordinary weather events.

Reflecting its continued status as the lightning capital of the nation, Florida in 2023 again maintained the highest density of lightning strikes for any state, a characteristic feature of regions like the Gulf Coast and Southeast, known for their intense lightning activities. The report notes a significant trend among the top 10 states with prevalent lightning, including several from the Great Plains and Missouri making the top 10 due to increased activity across more than two dozen counties, surpassing South Carolina.

Specifically, Florida experienced 108.5 flashes per square mile, contributing to over 5.8 million total lightning flashes. Meanwhile, St. Bernard Parish in Louisiana recorded an astonishing 392 lightning flashes per square mile, the highest in the nation.

In terms of state extremes, Texas stood out with the highest number of lightning strikes overall, recording more than 13 million total flashes. Conversely, New England states like Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine registered some of the lowest lightning flash counts in the country. Hawaii had the lowest overall lightning flashes for a state last year, with less than 5,000 total.

"The 2023 report not only quantifies lightning strikes but also brings to light the varied and sometimes extreme weather conditions across different states and counties," said Dr. Elizabeth DiGangi, a lightning scientist at AEM. "These findings highlight the importance of localized weather monitoring and the need for tailored strategies to address the risk."

The report also explores extremely rare weather events, including the remarkable thundersnow phenomenon that occurred in Southern California. Thundersnow combines the electrical activity of a thunderstorm with the cold temperatures of a snowstorm, resulting in a stunning and unusual display of nature. This event, a testament to the complexity of atmospheric conditions, brought not only lightning but also intense snowfall to Southern California, leaving residents and meteorologists in awe.

Data for the 2023 report was captured by AEM’s Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN), the most comprehensive global network for lightning and weather detection. With over 1,800 sensors worldwide, the ENTLN is pivotal in understanding and anticipating environmental risks.

The full report can be found here.
