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.

United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303)(“UMC”), today announced the signing of a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with Fengmiao I Offshore Wind Farm (“Fengmiao I”), developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ (“CIP”) flagship fund, CI V. UMC will purchase more than 30 billion kilowatt-hours of power from Fengmiao I over least 30 years, marking the largest renewable energy transaction in UMC’s history. This agreement will help UMC achieve its goal of 50% renewable energy use by 2030 as part of the company’s roadmap to net zero emissions and 100% renewable energy by 2050.

TS Wu, Vice President of UMC, said, "UMC is pleased to sign this landmark power purchase agreement with CIP’s Fengmiao I, marking UMC’s largest renewable energy deal to date and a significant milestone in our net zero journey. This agreement demonstrates our commitment to sustainable development to our stakeholders, and also contributes to UMC’s carbon reduction goals and ESG vision. As a responsible corporate citizen, UMC actively works on cutting emissions and energy consumption by installing high efficiency greenhouse gas abatement equipment and improving the energy efficiency of our manufacturing processes. At the same time, we will continue to expand renewable energy use as we advance towards our 2050 net zero goal.”

Thomas Wibe Poulsen, APAC Regional Partner for CIP’s Flagship Funds and Chairman of Fengmiao Offshore Wind Farm, said, “The decision of UMC, a leading global semiconductor company, to cooperate with Fengmiao I underscores the market’s high confidence in CIP’s technical and financial capability to deliver offshore wind projects.”

UMC follows its net zero roadmap, defined by science-based targets, by taking three key actions: persistent and proactive carbon emission reduction, 100% renewable energy usage, and investment in net- zero technologies. In 2023, UMC Group achieved a 26% reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 base levels, reaching its 2030 target ahead of schedule. Therefore, UMC has revised its original 2030 target of 25% reduction to a more ambitious 42% reduction goal to accelerate the pace of its net zero transition.
