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.

Aqua Pennsylvania Awarded $17.3 Million in Funding to Remove PFAS from Drinking Water, Replace Lead Service Lines

Funding is part of Aqua Pennsylvania’s commitment to provide safe, reliable drinking water and reduce associated customer costs

Aqua Pennsylvania announced it was awarded a combination of grant and low-interest loan funding through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). Funding totaling $15.05 million will support Aqua Pennsylvania’s continuing commitment to remove PFAS from drinking water. Another $2.3 million in funding will go toward Aqua Pennsylvania’s ongoing lead service line replacement program. PENNVEST funds allow recipients like Aqua Pennsylvania to complete these important infrastructure upgrades at a reduced cost to customers.

“Aqua Pennsylvania’s commitment includes delivery of safe, reliable drinking water to its customers,” said Aqua Pennsylvania President Marc Lucca. “Our commitment includes pursuit of PENNVEST funding which will help mitigate impacts to our customers.”

PFAS Treatment Systems

More than $15 million in PENNVEST funding will support 6 PFAS treatment installation projects at community well sites in Bucks, Chester, and Luzerne Counties. The PFAS treatment systems will positively impact more than 5,800 customers in the following communities:

BUCKS COUNTY

  • New Britain Borough

CHESTER COUNTY

  • East Marlborough Township, Franklin Township, West Brandywine Township, West Whiteland Township

LUZERNE COUNTY

  • White Haven Borough

Construction on these treatment facilities is expected to be completed in summer/fall of 2026.

In April 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for six PFAS chemicals in drinking water. Funding awarded by PENNVEST will move Aqua Pennsylvania closer to meeting the federal guidelines ahead of the EPA’s required compliance in 2029.

Lead Service Line Replacements

More than $2 million in combined grants and loans from PENNVEST will go toward the replacement of more than 200 customer-owned lead and galvanized service lines in Bristol Borough, Bucks County. Customer-owned service lines are the pipes running from approximately the curb line to homes and businesses. Aqua already treats drinking water to prevent lead leaching from pipes into the water, but replacing these aging pipes is an extra step in reducing the risk for customers.

The lead service line replacement project in Bristol is expected to start in June 2025 and is estimated to be completed in early 2026. The replacement is done at no direct cost to the customer. A warranty is also provided on the completed work.
