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.

Avangrid Subsidiaries NYSEG and RG&E Deliver Best Reliability in Five Years

In 2023, Companies saw year-over-year improvements in outage frequency and duration

More than $320 million in infrastructure investments planned across the state this year to continue this trend

New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) subsidiaries of Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced their best reliability in five years. Delivering energy safely and reliably to their 1.9 million customers is the top priority for NYSEG and RG&E. As the electric and gas infrastructure in Upstate New York ages, the Companies invest in the grid via reliability projects and upgrades to realize this objective. In 2023, both NYSEG and RG&E delivered their best reliability results in the last five years, with significant year-over-year improvements. This critical work will continue, particularly due to the size and scope of resiliency work needed to support growing dependency on electricity.

“With the increasingly intense and frequent storms in our region and growing electric demand, our customers deserve continued resiliency and improved reliability, and the $5.2 billion of investments approved in our latest rate case enable that forward momentum,” said Pedro Azagra, CEO of Avangrid. “Enabling New York to have more reliable power, shorter or avoided outages, and new smart meter technology helps customers manage their energy costs; we will continue to invest to improve even more.”

The New York Public Service Commission sets reliability targets for its utilities in the form of System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) metrics. These require the Companies to meet targets for both how often outages happen as well as the duration of those outages.

In 2024, NYSEG and RG&E will invest $38 million in resiliency projects which include rebuilding circuits in Brewster, Elmira, Lancaster, Liberty, Oneonta and Rochester Central; $35 million in automation, which add an additional 294 locations where they can remotely control equipment from the Energy Control Center; and more than $250 million on replacing aging substation and overhead line equipment.

NYSEG and RG&E will also replace 45,000 aging electrical poles statewide, resume tree trimming on a regular cycle in NYSEG territory, and continue with non-pipes and non-wires alternatives to traditional upgrades.

When a customer’s power is out, restoration can’t come soon enough, but NYSEG and RG&E are taking the steps necessary to modernize the grid to provide the safe, reliable service that’s vital to our way of life. These results prove that investing in the electric infrastructure is the key to provide customers with the power they need, when they need it; this is a responsibility the Companies take seriously.
