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.

ComEd Celebrates 47 New Lineworkers Completing Apprenticeship

New craft workers ready to join the mission of maintaining power lines at America’s most reliable utility

ComEd today joined union and community leaders to recognize 47 new lineworkers joining the ranks of America’s most reliable electric utility. ComEd’s newest graduates of its overhead apprenticeship program completed industry-aligned training at one of three regional training centers based in Chicago, Rockford, and Joliet, and will play a key role in supporting and maintaining the grid that serves more than 9 million people across northern Illinois.

“The clean energy transformation will require all of our efforts to power the grid to withstand intensifying weather due to climate change and to meet the growing demand for clean energy,” said ComEd COO and Executive Vice President Dave Perez. “Our apprenticeship programs are preparing more diverse, local talent to be a part of the work supporting the nation’s most reliable electrical company and building stronger communities for the future.”

A recent study, commissioned by ComEd, reveals that as many as 150,000 jobs will be created in Illinois by 2050 to support the clean energy transition. To support a diverse, local, and skilled talent pipeline, ComEd has invested in expanding its workforce training and STEM education programs, reaching more than 3,500 local residents last year alone. ComEd has also prioritized expanding hiring for craft roles needed to support the grid, hiring 444 new entry-level trades workers since 2022.

“We’re proud to be working with ComEd in preparing for the energy needs of the future by bringing in local talent and building their skills for the clean energy jobs coming to Illinois,” said President of IBEW Local 15 Chris Riser. “Through union apprenticeship programs, we’re connecting more local residents to lifelong, rewarding careers in the utilities while ensuring the region has the talent needed to power the grid and our transition to a clean energy economy.”

For more than two years, overhead apprenticeship graduates participated in classroom instruction and on-the-job training in which they proved their endurance in fulfilling the physically demanding aspects of the job, and earned safety and specialized certifications in electrical work, leading up to becoming full-fledged lineworkers. ComEd is working to connect residents across its service region to its apprenticeship training opportunities that will help build a pipeline of talented trades workers to support the evolving needs of the grid and our region’s power infrastructure.

More entry-level positions, like Construction Worker and Overhead Helper, are expected to be posted throughout the year. For more information on training and hiring opportunities at ComEd, visit www.comed.com/cleanenergyjobs or visit www.comed.com/careers.
