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.

Renewable energy investors continue to be frustrated as declining oil prices weigh on investor appetite for alternatives

Renewable energy investors continue to be frustrated as declining oil prices weigh on investor appetite for alternatives

WTI Crude oil futures declined by almost 5% in overnight trading as markets digested a slew of new data points. In its latest monthly report, OPEC has reduced its estimate of Chinese demand growth for the year-to-date, marking the third consecutive contraction.

New sanctions against the Iranian oil industry announced by U.S. officials last week have not translated into gains in crude markets as concerns over declining demand have outweighed geopolitical crisis. Despite a runup of almost 16% for 2024 so far, the United States Oil Fund ETF USO retains negative single-digit performance for the trailing 12 months.

So far in 2024, this lack of enthusiasm in oil markets has translated into declines for renewable energy stocks. The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF ICLN has declined by more than 11% since the year began, while First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy QCLN has fallen by more than 16%. Even with increasing electricity demand to feed ravenous AI datacenters the rush of investors for solar, wind and other renewables has yet to materialize.

California court rejects push from oil producers to dismiss ‘greenwashing’ case

The Superior Court of San Francisco County dismissed a motion to dismiss in a case by the State of California against a group of major oil producers on Friday. The suit, brought by California and a group of municipalities, argues that “greenwashing” by fossil fuel producers amounts to deceptive practices. The suit paves the way for more environmental litigation. The motion to dismiss was brought by plaintiffs including ExxonMobil, Shell, and BP.

Arizona solar project secures financing

BrightNight announced $260 million in new commitments for the Box Canyon solar project on Friday.

The company said the new facility will power up to 77,000 homes. J.P. Morgan and Capital One are providing the fresh capital as tax-equity financing to take advantage of provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration’s signature green energy legislation. The new announcement arrives on the heels of a $440 million investment into BrightNight by Goldman Sachs.

What’s in a name

Due to industry pushback, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) announced forthcoming clarification of rules on naming funds that are scheduled to go into effect in late November. Among other provisions, the new regulations restrict fossil fuel investments by funds with words including “green” and “impact.” According to industry analysts, as many as European funds could be affected by the change.

ESMA’s action follows similar regulations in the U.S. The SEC announced new rules in late September 2023 that now require funds with ESG related names to commit at least 80% of deployed assets to assets meeting those criteria The new regulation sped up the pace of fund managers reclassifying products following a backlash from several state governments.
