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.

Essential Utilities Donates $385,000 to United Way to Match Employee Giving

The company’s latest workplace campaign showcases a strong culture of generosity across its 9-state footprint.

Essential Utilities Inc. (NYSE: WTRG) announced more than $770,000 in total contributions during the company’s 2024-2025 United Way campaign. The total donation was achieved through individual pledges made by employees from its water and gas segments, Aqua and Peoples Natural Gas, as well as a matching gift from the company’s Essential Foundation, presented to the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, as the host of the campaign. Aqua and Peoples have partnered with the United Way for more than two decades, raising more than $3.9 million since the companies united under Essential Utilities in 2020.

Approximately 2,000 employees across Essential’s 9-state footprint participated in this year’s campaign to support their local United Way and other community organizations in the United Way network. The United Way employee giving program allows donors to direct their contributions to causes that are meaningful to them, and the success of this year’s campaign shows the culture of giving is alive and well at Essential.

Employees selected a variety of initiatives, including health and human services, education, housing and hunger relief, the environment, animal welfare and more. The corporate match will be directed to those same organizations through the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey.

In the Philadelphia region, Essential was once again a top performer among workplace campaigns, ranking in the top three percent of over 250 companies, and the Aqua Illinois team was recognized as one of the top five charitable campaigns by the United Way of Kankakee and Iroquois Counties. While the average participation rate across the company was 61-percent, the Aqua Ohio and Aqua Indiana teams saw even more impressive participation with over 80-percent of employees contributing.

“The generosity shown by our Essential employees is a testament to our team’s connection to the communities we serve,” said Essential Chairman and CEO Christopher Franklin. “Our commitment to improving the lives of our neighbors goes far beyond providing earth’s most essential resources. This partnership with the United Way is a shining example of the generous spirit of the people of Essential Utilities, and I’m proud to be a part of this amazing effort that positively impacts the lives of so many in need of a helping hand.”

Bill Golderer, President and CEO of the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, agreed, stating, “Essential Utilities is a leader without peer in our region for the example they set. There is clearly a culture of generosity, commitment and service that defines what it means to be a part of Essential’s team. On behalf the thousands of neighbors in our community who strive every day for a better future, we salute Essential’s commitment to our United Way’s mission.”
