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.

Milliman, in collaboration with CalChiefs, launches phase two of wildfire data commons initiative with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation

By: via Business Wire

Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today announced that the firm, in conjunction with the California Fire Chiefs Foundation (CFCF), was awarded a Moore Foundation grant to support the development of a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Data Commons. This pioneering initiative is aimed at enhancing wildfire risk management and mitigation efforts across the West.

The WUI Data Commons represents a significant advancement in addressing the disconnect between completed wildfire mitigation efforts and the risk assessments conducted by the insurance industry. By creating a comprehensive, accessible database of verified parcel and community-level wildfire mitigations, the project aims to make mitigation actions "visible" to insurers, reinsurers, and risk modelers, with the goal of improving insurance availability and affordability. Further, by extending access to homeowners, communities, and fire protection agencies, the data commons will also facilitate coordinated collective action and an improved understanding of insurance outcomes.

Milliman and CalChiefs Foundation will integrate the perspectives of other key stakeholders inside and outside the insurance industry to address crucial fundamental questions and lay the groundwork for a successful buildout of the WUI Data Commons.

"Through this grant, we are set to establish documented criteria and a robust framework for the WUI Data Commons, focusing on responsible governance, access, and practical implementation across sectors,” said Nancy Watkins, a principal and consulting actuary at Milliman. “Our goal is to facilitate buy-in and participation across the spectrum of stakeholders, leading to alignment in wildfire mitigation that is otherwise not achievable.”

“By providing first responders and fire protection agencies with detailed insights into community and parcel-level mitigations, we can significantly improve our firefighting strategies and community evacuation plans, saving lives and properties,” said Jeff Meston, Executive Director of CalChiefs.

"We are proud to support this innovative approach to wildfire risk reduction,” said Genny Biggs, program director for the Moore Foundation’s Wildfire Resilience Initiative. “The WUI Data Commons is a cross-sectoral effort to fill a critical gap and move us collectively toward wildfire resilience."
