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, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, has deployed 103 lineworkers, 81 tree crews, 41 bucket and digger derrick trucks, and 45 support staff, including damage assessors and crew guides, from its Connecticut subsidiary United Illuminating to Maine. UI crews are working hand-in-hand with more than hundreds of other line and tree crews in restoration efforts after a powerful Nor’easter knocked out power to nearly 350,000 customers earlier this week. 1,000 crews will be working through the weekend to restore power.

“During powerful storms like this Nor’easter, all Avangrid companies, including Central Maine Power and United Illuminating, are committed to doing whatever it takes to restore power to our customers as quickly and as safely as possible,” said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “By tapping into our extensive interstate network of dedicated field professionals, Avangrid is uniquely positioned to deploy our resources across the Northeast to meet weather emergencies wherever and whenever they arise. I thank the men and women of UI for working tirelessly with the dedicated CMP team to restore power to our Maine communities in need.”

The crews deployed from UI include internal line and service crews, external line crews, external tree crews and internal supervisors, damage assessment crews, crew guides, and storekeepers. While UI faced minor impacts from the same storm system, line crews restored power to all UI customers before deploying to Maine. They have joined hundreds of other line and tree crews working along CMP who have been working around the clock in severe conditions caused by the heavy snow and high winds, including battling damaged and fallen trees, broken poles, and downed power lines. Together, internal and external crews have already restored power to nearly 140,000 customers since the storm began on Wednesday, and they anticipate they will work throughout the weekend to restore remaining customers affected by the storm.

The collaborative storm response effort is part of Avangrid’s multi-state network of resources to assist its hardest hit service areas to bolster response times. The company deployed similar assistance of personnel and equipment during the historic flooding event in December 2023 and during Hurricane Lee in September 2023.
