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.

Columbia County Completes Renovations of Historic John Gumm Building, Enhancing Community Resources

Renovations enhance access to public services, support economic development, and preserve a historic community landmark

Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced, in collaboration with Columbia County, the successful completion of the renovation of the historic John Gumm building. This project marks a significant milestone for Columbia County and its aim to preserve its historic infrastructure while enhancing the building’s functionality to better serve the community.

The extensive renovation project included completing all interior finishes, such as paint, carpet, and flooring, which have revitalized the building's spaces. HVAC upgrades, lighting upgrades, envelope efficiency improvements, and structural enhancements were implemented, and there were also efforts to restore the original windows to preserve their historical character while improving energy efficiency. The installation of a new elevator has ensured accessibility for all visitors, while the exterior plaster repairs, wood restoration, and painting have revived the building’s façade, restoring its place as a focal point of the community. Additionally, irrigation and landscaping enhancements were implemented to create a welcoming environment for both occupants and visitors.

The newly renovated John Gumm building now serves as a centralized hub for Columbia County, housing an auditorium for public meetings, the county’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Columbia-Pacific Economic Development District, the Columbia County Museum, and office space for various county departments. These updates directly benefit community members by providing improved access to public services, supporting small business growth, and offering cultural enrichment opportunities.

"It’s exciting to see this historic space transformed into something modern and useful for our community,” said Casey Garrett, Columbia County Commissioner. “This project isn’t just about preserving an old building—it’s about creating a space for our administrative offices, supporting local businesses, and honoring our history. We are proud of how far we have come and look forward to seeing this facility serve Columbia County for years to come.”

This project is part of a larger, multi-phase effort by Columbia County to modernize its facilities. Looking ahead, plans include the addition of rooftop solar panels and battery storage, reinforcing Columbia County's dedication to sustainability and climate resilience.

"Seeing the John Gumm building come to life again is something we’re really proud of,” said Lou Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “We're excited to see how these improvements will support the community for years to come."
