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.

Cabot Corporation Achieves Operation Clean Sweep® Europe Certification

Underscores company’s commitment to advancing responsible plastic management practices to enable a more sustainable future

Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) today announced it has attained Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) Europe certification at its two masterbatch and compounding facilities in Pepinster and Loncin, Belgium. The company is one of the first black masterbatch manufacturers in Europe to earn this third-party certification. Achieving OCS Europe certification at these facilities is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to acting responsibly for the planet by implementing responsible management practices that reduce plastic waste in the environment.

“As a leading global black masterbatch manufacturer, we understand the role that Cabot plays in setting an example in the plastics supply chain to operate responsibly,” said Jeff Zhu, executive vice president and president, Carbon & Silica Technologies, Battery Materials and Asia Pacific Region. “At Cabot, we take a targeted, proactive approach to minimize plastic waste at our facilities through a hierarchy of management practices that also help prevent inadvertent spillage of materials used for our operations. By achieving OCS Europe certification, our customers have validation that we are committed to implementing and continuously improving our responsible plastic management practices as we progress in our sustainability journey to reduce our overall impact on the environment.”

The OCS Europe certification scheme is aimed at controlling and documenting the compliance of companies throughout the entire plastics supply chain with requirements to prevent pellets, powders and flakes from being released into the environment. As such, the requirements of this certification are developed based on the six pillars of OCS: improve worksite set-up to prevent and address spills, create internal procedures to achieve zero plastic material loss, provide employee training and accountability, auditing, legal compliance and raising awareness among value chain partners.

The certification scheme was initiated and advocated for by two prominent industry associations, Plastics Europe and the European Plastics Converters (EuPC), marking a significant step forward in the collective effort to minimize waste and pellet leakage into the environment. Cabot has played an instrumental role in this process, notably through its leadership within the European Masterbatches & Compounders Association (EuMC), a sector group of EuPC. Cabot has been at the forefront of advocating for and implementing the OCS certification scheme across Europe, demonstrating its dedication to advancing sustainable practices within the plastics industry.

Furthermore, since 2019, Cabot has pledged its support for OCS, an industry-led program that supports companies in their goal towards achieving zero plastic resin loss in operations. Cabot has also launched comprehensive plans to implement OCS protocols, including facility and equipment assessments to mitigate plastic pellet loss risks such as loading, transport, drainage and wastewater access points. Through training, continuous communication and incident reporting, Cabot cultivates a culture of awareness and responsibility among its employees.
