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.

Essential Utilities Earns Newsweek’s ‘America’s Most Responsible Companies’ Recognition for Fourth Consecutive Year

Recognition reflects company’s commitment to sustainable and ethical business operations

For the fourth consecutive year, Essential Utilities, one of the largest water, wastewater and natural gas providers in the U.S., has earned a place among America’s Most Responsible Companies, as recognized by Newsweek. This distinction underscores Essential’s dedication to integrating meaningful environmental and social business practices.

“At Essential Utilities, we are driven by a deep responsibility to our customers, communities, and the environment. Our commitment to sustainable practices, operational excellence, and community investment defines who we are,” said Essential Chairman and CEO Christopher Franklin. “Our progress reflects our belief that operational excellence and environmental stewardship go hand in hand to best serve our communities. Being recognized by Newsweek for four consecutive years reflects our team’s dedication to delivering reliable utility services while protecting and providing the essential resources that sustain life.”

Through its Aqua and Peoples brands, Essential drives meaningful environmental and social practices by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, modernizing aged natural gas infrastructure, ensuring water quality standards, investing in community development, and promoting sustainability through renewable energy initiatives, infrastructure upgrades, and measurable progress toward long-term environmental and community goals.

Essential’s recent achievements include:

  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction: Achieving a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from the 2019 baseline, progressing toward a 60% reduction by 2035 through pipeline upgrades, renewable energy, and methane leak detection and mitigation.
  • Community Investment: Donating $5 million in 2024 to support initiatives that strengthen communities, focusing on environmental sustainability, education, human services and economic development.
  • Water Quality: Consistently outperforming average United States water quality standards, achieving 99.8% of days in drinking water compliance in 2024.
  • Pipeline Replacement Program: Replacing more than 1,000 miles of gas pipeline in Pennsylvania and Kentucky, ensuring safer, more reliable and more efficient systems.
  • Renewable Energy Procurement: Procuring nearly 100% renewable electricity usage in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois.
  • Biodiversity Initiatives: Strengthening conservation efforts through enhanced policies supporting sustainability and environmental protection.

The 2025 ranking – presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc. – recognizes 600 companies from the largest 2,000 U.S.-based public companies for their positive global impact. The selection process is based on an analysis of publicly available environmental, social and governance (ESG) data from sustainability and corporate social responsibility reports, and an independent survey of 26,000 United States residents. The 2025 recognition marks an advance from Essential’s position ranking last year – improving its overall standing to 165 from 401 in 2024.
