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’s Fourth Wind Farm in Illinois Achieves Commercial Operation

Company eclipses 600 Megawatts (MW) in Illinois with the addition of 106 MW Midland Wind

Avangrid, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced Midland Wind has achieved commercial operation. The 106 MW wind farm located in Henry County is the company’s fourth wind farm in Illinois, bringing total capacity in the state to more than 600 MW.

“We are proud to have achieved this milestone with Midland Wind, which is now operational and delivering power,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “Our fourth completed renewable energy project in Illinois, Midland Wind is an example of our commitment to accelerating a clean energy transition. We look forward to continuing our efforts in developing green energy solutions while supporting Illinois communities.”

Midland Wind’s 25 turbines will generate nearly 400,000 MWh of renewable energy, which is enough clean energy to power the equivalent of 37,000 homes. The wind farm officially reached commercial operations in December 2023.

Work at Midland Wind supported more than 200 jobs during construction, most of which were local. Operations and maintenance of the wind farm will also support several permanent, local jobs that will remain in the community for the life of the project. The wind farm is estimated to contribute more than $25 million in property taxes, which will support area school districts, fire districts, and libraries.

With Midland Wind, Illinois now has the largest renewable energy capacity of any Midwest state in Avangrid’s portfolio. It is located near three other Avangrid renewable energy projects, Providence Heights Wind, Otter Creek Wind, and Streator Cayuga Ridge South. Avangrid is the third-largest renewable energy operator in the U.S. with more than 8.6 GW of installed capacity.
