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.

New U.S. Plastics Pact Report Charts Path to Scaling Recycled Content in Plastic Packaging

Report outlines policy and market solutions to expand postconsumer recycled content and advance circularity

A new report released today by the U.S. Plastics Pact urges a dual approach—ambitious voluntary action and bold public policy—to expand the use of postconsumer recycled content (PCR) in plastic packaging and overcome the systemic barriers currently limiting progress.

Titled “Overcoming Barriers to Increasing the Use of PCR in the U.S.,” the report provides a holistic analysis of the supply, demand, and financial barriers that limit PCR use. Drawing from the insights of more than 100 U.S. Pact participants, including brands, retailers, recyclers, and nonprofit and government organizations, the report makes clear that challenges are interconnected and must be addressed across the entire value chain.

“Using more recycled content in packaging reduces waste, cuts emissions, and keeps valuable materials in circulation,” said Jonathan Quinn, CEO of the U.S. Plastics Pact. “But persistent challenges from infrastructure gaps to market volatility mean that we need aligned, collective action to scale impact.”

The report outlines how voluntary and policy solutions can build on one another, and highlights several integrated strategies to overcome the most persistent barriers:

  • Comprehensive Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs that align financial incentives with circular outcomes through full cost coverage, eco-modulated fees, and consumer education
  • Long-term procurement commitments from brands and retailers to stabilize markets and drive infrastructure investment
  • Targeted policy interventions, including Deposit Return Systems (DRS), recycled content mandates, and landfill tipping fees
  • Voluntary actions such as packaging redesign, consumer education, and investments in domestic PCR supply chains

“Voluntary and policy solutions aren’t either-or—they’re mutually reinforcing,” said Quinn. “Industry leadership creates market momentum. Smart policy locks in progress and levels the playing field. We need both.”
