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.

Infineon and Amkor Sign Memorandum of Understanding To Stimulate Sustainable Action Across the Supply Chain

  • Both companies commit to actively engage with common suppliers to help them drive effective decarbonization strategies.
  • The aim is to identify areas for improvement and support suppliers in setting their own science-based emissions reduction targets.
  • The partnership of Infineon and Amkor is set to bring the green supplier engagement of both companies to the next level.

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), a leader in power systems and IoT, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR), a leading provider of semiconductor packaging and test services, with a joint commitment to stimulate decarbonization and sustainability strategies across the supply chain.

Expanding their partnership towards sustainability is the next step in the sustainability journey of both companies. Infineon and Amkor intend to fully leverage their classical Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) business relationship in order to effectively tackle emissions along their supply chain. In April, both companies announced to operate a dedicated packaging and test center at Amkor’s manufacturing site in Porto, Portugal.

As part of the cooperation for climate protection, Infineon and Amkor will actively engage with common suppliers to help them develop and implement effective decarbonization strategies. This will involve workshops, meetings, and the sharing of best practices and learnings related to decarbonization. The aim is to identify areas for improvement and support suppliers in setting science-based emissions reduction targets in line with the Science Based Targets initiative. Both companies are committed to providing ongoing guidance, fostering exchange, and tracking progress to drive continuous improvement across the common supply chain.

“Infineon has made excellent progress towards its aim to become CO2-neutral for scope 1 and 2 by 2030, as the company halved its emissions while doubling the revenue since 2019. Supply-chain-related Scope-3-emissions represent the highest share of total emissions at Infineon and are the hardest ones to minimize,” said Angelique van der Burg, Chief Procurement Officer at Infineon. “That makes it even more important to include them in our efforts. But no one can do it alone. We need to actively collaborate and drive innovation with our suppliers if we want to effectively reduce CO2 emissions. This is of ample importance not only for Infineon and Amkor, but also for society at large. Therefore, we are happy to join forces with Amkor on this.”

“Amkor is excited to deepen its partnership with Infineon through this strategic collaboration. Addressing Scope 3 is the most challenging part of the decarbonization journey, and we anticipate mutual benefits from this collective work in undertaking the challenge,” said Giel Rutten, Amkor’s president and chief executive officer. “This initiative is pivotal in achieving Amkor’s goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 by strengthening supply chain engagement through joint efforts. We look forward to collaborating with suppliers and invite them to join our endeavor to set ambitious science-based targets. Together, we are committed to driving positive environmental impact across our value chain.”

To support Infineon’s science-based target commitment and enhance the collaboration with suppliers, Infineon introduced a supplier engagement program in 2023. Since then, the company has been working with more than a hundred suppliers to set and implement science-based targets. The partnership between Amkor and Infineon provides an impetus for the strategy of both companies to make science-based targets the standard for ambitious climate strategies in the semiconductor industry.
