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.

Procter & Gamble Commits to Spending $10 Billion with Women-Owned and Women-led Businesses by 2025

WEConnect International’s #Rise2theChallenge Campaign Gains Momentum with CPG Powerhouse

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, July 2, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WEConnect International is pleased to see the strong public commitment to women’s economic empowerment from member Procter & Gamble (P&G) as it announced its goal of spending $10 billion with women-owned and women-led business by 2025 by leveraging their purchasing power with women suppliers. This latest commitment brings the total to five corporations across consumer package goods, technology and finance industries that are stepping up and supporting WEConnect International’s #Rise2theChallenge campaign.

Addressing the announcement at the UN-Convened Generation Equality Forum, P&G’s Jamila Belabidi-Chahid, Purchases Director, Global Women Economic Empowerment & Global Supplier Diversity, shared the virtual dais with Elizabeth A. Vazquez, CEO and Co-Founder of WEConnect International, who emphasized the importance of acting now.

“Women own roughly 30% of all private businesses worldwide, yet women-owned businesses receive less than 1% of the supply chain spend from large corporations,” said Vazquez. “By expanding their gender inclusive procurement policies and practices already in place around the world, P&G will help ensure that women-owned businesses have an equal opportunity to compete for contract opportunities, thereby advancing women’s economic empowerment through its global value chain.”

P&G has been working with WEConnect International since 2014 to help identify and develop the capabilities of women business owners around the world, and was recognized as WEConnect International’s corporate partner of the year in 2019.

“Gender responsive sourcing is one of the most untapped opportunities for companies to help accelerate an inclusive recovery for all.” said Belabidi-Chahid. “P&G is proud to further our involvement as a WEConnect International member supporting the #Rise2theChallenge campaign as we take continued action to holistically support women in our global value chain.”

In March, WEConnect International kicked off its #Rise2theChallenge campaign urging its 130+ member buyers—large corporate, multilateral and government organizations that collectively source over $1 trillion worth of products and services annually—to publicly commit to a specific spend target and/or relevant project to advance opportunities for women-owned businesses around the world. The #Rise2theChallenge campaign gives members one year to set their commitment level.
