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 infrastructure managers pursue wealthy investors

Renewable infrastructure managers pursue wealthy investors

A massive wind power investment announced Thursday puts the renewable infrastructure asset class in the spotlight, just as private investment firms are ramping up efforts to market it to wealthy investors.

Dominion Energy, Inc. on Tuesday disclosed the sale of a 50% stake in the company’s massive Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) commercial project to private equity firm Stonepeak. The New York-based firm oversees more than $70 billion in assets entrusted by institutional investors. 

For Stonepeak, which focuses on infrastructure investments globally, the $2.6 billion deal provides a non-control stake in the largest U.S. wind power project under construction. Upon completion in 2026, the CVOW will have 176 turbines which are expected to produce enough power for 660 thousand homes. 

Traditionally, access to direct investments into renewable infrastructure has been limited to pensions, endowments and sovereign wealth funds. With competition for institutions allocations becoming increasingly intense, a growing number of private investment firms are providing access to rich individuals. 

Hamilton Lane HLNE unveiled two new private infrastructure funds targeting high-net-worth individuals on Oct. 8. The Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund is an interval fund — a continuously offered closed-end vehicle structure, for accredited investors. The power, energy and environmental portions of the fund’s portfolio will focus heavily on renewable and sustainable projects. 

Hamilton Lane was early to the race to win over affluent investors, launching the firm’s first wealth management targeted fund around five years ago. More recently, the $940 billion hard asset investment firm has been aggressively building out its high-net-worth efforts with key hires this year to expand its retail footprint globally. 

As private funds find increasing interest among wealthy clients, a downmarket push to introduce sustainable infrastructure to retail investors has met mixed results so far. JP Morgan’s Sustainable Infrastructure ETF BLLD has attracted a modest $23 million in the two years since it was introduced. The VanEck Green Infrastructure ETF RNEW , launched in late October 2022, has to date taken in less than $2 million in assets.

Climeworks announces CO2 air removal deal with Morgan Stanley

Climeworks announced an agreement with Morgan Stanley MS on Thursday to remove 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually through 2037. The Wall Street bank will offset its carbon footprint through the Direct Air Credits created through the removal process. 

Switzerland-based Climeworks will use the contract proceeds to expand their franchise into North American markets. JP Morgan JPM and UBS UBS have already announced similar deals with Climeworks in recent years. Currently, Climeworks operates two CO2 air capture plants in Iceland to provide third-party certified carbon removal credits.

Wind power on pace for a record year

A report from the think tank Ember concluded that wind-power is on pace to account for a record percentage of total global electricity generation in 2024. The growing share of energy produced through wind projects has been supercharged by massive investments in China — which now accounts for over 40% of all wind turbine created power worldwide. 

Fordham creates socially responsible committee for endowment

While donor pushback at many U.S. educational institutions has led to reduced allocations to impact investments by endowments, Fordham University has established a new committee to address non-donor stakeholder concerns. University President Tania Tetlow has announced the creation of the Socially Responsible Investing Committee (SRIC) earlier this month to address student and faculty concerns about how Fordham invests its $1 billion endowment.
