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.

“It’s an honor being recognized with this achievement,” said Kate Haws, director of brand communications. “Since our founding in 1997, we’ve made a point to create products that customers know are a good choice for their family, their home and the environment.”

Presented annually by The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, the Green GOOD DESIGN award program “identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design.”

Concordia is a premium composite decking line made with 94% recycled material that would otherwise be destined for landfills, incinerators, or oceans. About half of what’s in the decking boards comes from recycled wood—sawdust and leftover material that would otherwise be discarded. The other half comes from recycled plastic, including grocery bags and recycled packaging material.

Fiberon recycles these woods and plastics at an in-house facility that converts the waste into the materials needed to make new deck boards. The facility prevents more than 70,000 tons of waste from reaching landfills and incinerators annually. By using recycled materials, Fiberon saves more than 1 million trees—or 20,000 acres of healthy forest—from being cut down every year. As many as 2,000 plastic bags can be used in the manufacturing of a single board, averaging 100 million pounds of recycled plastic each year.

The company’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the product design. Every Fiberon plant has a water reservoir about the size of a standard swimming pool to collect and reuse water during the manufacturing process. This closed-loop water system saves nearly 3.5 billion gallons of water annually.

The Astir Collection is the newest addition to the Concordia portfolio. It features a rustic cathedral grain and three fresh, nature-inspired multi-tonal hues: Prairie Wheat, a light tan reminiscent of lush fields of grain; Mountain Ash, a rich, deep brown inspired by mountain forests; and Seaside Mist, a modern grey with a warm, sandy undertone.
