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.

Activists Take Demands to Stop Selling Cancer-Linked Roundup to Home Depot CEO’s Doorstep

Activists install giant billboard outside CEO’s home on eve of annual shareholders meeting and World Bee Day

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, May 19, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On the eve of its annual shareholder meeting, Home Depot (NASDAQ: HD) is under pressure to stop selling the controversial weedkiller Roundup®. Today, consumer and environmental groups installed a video billboard outside of CEO Craig Menear's mansion featuring interviews with customers demanding the chain remove Roundup® and other products containing glyphosate from its shelves. It will also visit company headquarters and local Atlanta stores.

The coalition is urging investors to press the company to stop selling Roundup® as its manufacturer Bayer is being sued for billions by cancer patients claiming the weedkiller caused their illness. The main ingredient in Roundup® — glyphosate — is a probable human carcinogen and is associated with a range of other health problems.

May 20th is also World Bee Day. The EPA warns that glyphosate can harm 93% of endangered species, including bees. Glyphosate is also a primary driver of monarch butterfly declines because it destroys the milkweed plants their young depend on.

“As the largest home and garden retailer in the U.S., Home Depot can play a huge role in ending the use of this toxic weedkiller in our backyards and across the country,” said Paolo Mutia, campaigner at Friends of the Earth. “It’s reckless to sell consumers products linked to cancer and pollinator declines when safer organic alternatives exist.”

“Home Depot is putting its customers' health at risk by refusing to take Roundup off shelves,” said Lacey Kohlmoos, US Campaign Manager at SumOfUs. “We hope that hearing directly from customers and shareholders will convince Home Depot executives to finally get rid of Roundup and other glyphosate products linked to cancer.”

Today’s stunt is part of a national week of action organized by a coalition of environmental and consumer groups, including Friends of the Earth, SumOfUs, Beyond Pesticides, Center for Food Safety, Green America, Herbicide Free Campus, Toxic Free North Carolina, and Kids Right to Know. This week, hundreds of concerned consumers have taken to social media and sent emails to Home Depot executives. And individual shareholders have submitted questions about when the company will stop selling Roundup®.

Since 2020, the coalition has delivered over 157,000 petition signatures to the company and sent a letter from over 100 organizations urging Home Depot to end sales of toxic weedkillers. A recent analysis shows half of herbicides sold by Home Depot contain highly hazardous ingredients.
