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.

Xfinity and Comcast Business Services Begin Rolling Out to Upper Saucon Residents

Comcast Network Expansion to Connect Nearly 7,000 Homes and Businesses in Upper Saucon Township

Comcast has connected the first 1,000 homes and businesses in Upper Saucon, Pa., to its reliable, high-speed Internet network as part of an expansion that will ultimately reach more than 7,000 homes and businesses in the township. The network expansion brings Internet, mobile, entertainment, and security services from Xfinity and Comcast Business to these residents and businesses, enhancing digital infrastructure, promoting economic growth, and positioning residents and local businesses for success in an increasingly digital world.

“Comcast’s decision to expand into the Upper Saucon community is a win for consumer choice,” said Senator Jarrett Coleman (PA-16th). “It’s critical that our residents and businesses have access to reliable, state-of-the-art broadband connectivity to fully enjoy the benefits of today’s digital world. I applaud Comcast for their commitment to bridging the digital divide by offering Internet Essentials and supporting community programming and digital literacy training.”

Residents can visit Xfinity.com/mytown and enter their addresses to check for current service availability or for additional details on construction timing. They can also stop by the Xfinity Store in Quakertown, located at 235 N. West End Blvd., to see if they are eligible for service today. The project is expected to be completed in Spring 2025. Comcast’s most recent expansion to Upper Saucon is part of the company’s latest investment in Lehigh County, which also includes a completed expansion to Coopersburg. In the last three years, Comcast has connected an additional 232,000 homes and businesses in Pennsylvania to Xfinity and Comcast Business services, with more to come in 2025.

“We are committed to investing in and expanding our network to ensure that more residents and businesses in Pennsylvania have a choice in their Internet provider,” said Dan Bonelli, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Freedom Region, which serves Southeastern Pennsylvania. “Our network delivers a world-class experience within and outside the home, and our dedicated team of local experts are excited to help connect Upper Saucon residents to what matters most.”

A Network You Can Trust to be Reliable, Fast and Secure

Comcast’s state-of-the-art network is built to enable residents and businesses to thrive in today’s constantly connected world. Upper Saucon joins the more than 63 million homes and businesses across the country to have access to a network that is trusted by essential community organizations like hospitals, schools, transportation systems and first responders, and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and FEMA. It delivers gigabit Internet speeds, 99.9 percent reliability and built-in security to help keep customers safe from cyber threats.

Introducing Xfinity for Consumers

Comcast’s residential services are marketed under the Xfinity brand, and consumers in Upper Saucon can take advantage of Xfinity’s full suite of products, including Internet, video, mobile, voice and home security. With gigabit Internet speeds, powerful WiFi that reaches every corner of the home, and super-responsive connections with low lag available with Xfinity plans, customers have a great experience using their connected devices to stream their favorite sports and entertainment content, video chat with coworkers and friends, learn from home or simply surf the web.

Comcast Business to Power Upper Saucon

What It Means for the Upper Saucon Community

Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond building the network and aims to increase economic mobility for the local community and its residents. That’s why Comcast created Internet Essentials, a broadband adoption program that offers eligible households low-cost, high-speed Internet and affordable computers. Additionally, over the past three years, Comcast has invested more than $145 million in cash and in-kind donations into Pennsylvania nonprofits focused on helping people build digital skills, expanding WiFi-connected Lift Zones and funding connectivity and Internet adoption programs.
