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.

Energy Infrastructure Project to Deliver Significant Operational Savings, Strengthen Campus Safety, and Support Future Campus Expansion

Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, today announced the successful completion of two integrated design-build projects with Ave Maria University in Florida. These initiatives mark a significant step in modernizing the University’s building infrastructure and upgrading their building automation system to enhance operational control, safety, and support future campus expansion.

Ave Maria University Campus

Ave Maria University Campus

In the first phase, Ameresco implemented a new building automation system (BAS) that integrates HVAC equipment across five campus buildings. The web-based platform has already improved occupant comfort and operational controls, with projected annual savings of approximately $200,000. As part of the University’s broader strategy to modernize campus infrastructure, the second phase addressed exterior lighting, resulting in improved visibility and safety.

“As our campus continues to grow, we knew we needed to invest in infrastructure that could keep pace—not just for today, but for the future,” said Paul Husak, Chief Operating Officer at Ave Maria University. “In doing so, we’re living out our responsibility as an authentically Catholic university: to steward our resources wisely, safeguard our students, and prepare a campus where future leaders and future saints can flourish.”

To further support Ave Maria’s expansion goals, Ameresco developed a project to increase the central utility plant’s capacity by more than 80%. The upcoming third phase will add a 3,000-ton chiller to the plant, boosting total capacity from 3,600 tons to 6,600 tons. This upgrade will ensure system redundancy and improved efficiency across the University’s 17 facilities. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026.

“This design-build project with Ave Maria University exemplifies how thoughtful energy infrastructure planning can unlock long-term value,” said Lou Maltezos, President of Central & Western USA, Canada Regions at Ameresco. “By integrating advanced building automation and expanding central plant capacity, we’re helping Ave Maria University create a safer, more efficient, and future-ready campus that supports its academic mission and long-term vision.”

The collaboration between Ameresco and Ave Maria University reflects a shared commitment to leverage innovative energy infrastructure to support their long-term academic needs and energy goals. Aligned with the University’s strategic growth plans, this project is delivering measurable benefits today while laying a resilient foundation to meet the evolving needs of its students in the future.
