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.

UMC’s Collaboration with Suppliers to Build a Sustainable Supply Chain Contributes to 2.64 Million Tons of Carbon Reduction

United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303)(“UMC”), a leading semiconductor foundry, today held its Low-Carbon Supply Chain Awards Ceremony, in which 16 suppliers were recognized for their performance in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. UMC launched its Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Inventory Initiative in 2022 to provide suppliers with resources to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, global sites of UMC’s suppliers have reduced a total of 2.64 million tons of emissions.

SC Chien, UMC’s Co-President and Chief Sustainability Officer, said, “With global average temperatures rising year after year, corporations must step up efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions to ensure the sustainability of our planet. In 2023, UMC achieved significant progress in cutting emissions from our operations and established more ambitious reduction targets, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable development and climate action. Furthermore, we are collaborating with our suppliers to target 20% reduction in supply chain emissions by 2030, contributing to the low-carbon transition of our industry.”

TS Wu, Vice President of UMC, said, “At UMC, we believe sustainable development is a cornerstone of our business operations. While companies must first act to decarbonize their own operations, extensive collaboration across the supply chain is also necessary. Since 2022, UMC has been assisting suppliers with conducting their greenhouse gas emissions inventory, and more than 300 have completed their inventory to date. We take this opportunity to applaud our suppliers for their participation and we look forward to advancing our shared environmental sustainability goals together.”

UMC invited suppliers to join its Triple R League program in 2017, which promoted reducing consumption and the reuse and recycling of resources in the supply chain. In 2022, UMC launched the Supply Chain Greenhouse Gas Inventory Initiative to provide resources to suppliers and share the company’s own experience from its net zero journey so far.
