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.

Water infrastructure and technology stocks heat up

By: Equities.com
Water infrastructure and technology stocks heat up

The EPA added $3.6 billion in fresh funding for U.S. water infrastructure this week. The funds bring the total earmarked for community water projects under the Biden administration for fiscal 2025 to $6.2 billion as part of the larger bipartisan $50 billion water infrastructure bill. That legislation provides grants and forgivable loans for disadvantaged communities without water security.

But the scale of the problem facing the EPA is daunting.

The federal government estimates that two million Americans currently lack access to clean drinking water with economically disadvantaged communities are particularly vulnerable. Almost one-quarter of households with access to private wells are subject to contamination.

Globally the problem is more dire, with estimates that as many as 2.2 billion people, nearly a third of the world’s population, lack consistent access to a safe water source. 

An increasing number of companies focused on solutions for safer water are accessing capital from investors.

“From a long-term standpoint there is a massive backlog in water projects,” said Rob Day, partner and co-founder of Spring Lane Capital. The private investment company focuses on early stage investment in the energy, food, water and waste markets, backing infrastructure projects as well as investing in the startups developing them. 

“There has been a critical lack of investment in the infrastructure for decades,” Day said. 

In addition to replacing aging systems, new technologies also present opportunities. Day said technologies to mitigate per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — so-called forever chemicals present in waste management — are currently a major focus for his team. 

Other investments include less water intensive data center technologies.  

Water is a growing focus for public markets as well. The stocks of water technology and infrastructure provided have performed well in recent years. The S&P Global Water Index has returned over 11% so far this year, with a trailing 12 month return of over 32%.The Invesco S&P Global Water ETF CGW which mimics the index has slightly outperformed its benchmark year-to-date increase of more than 12%. 

Investors seeking to allocate in the water segment have a number of other ETF options available. Invesco Water Resources PHO focuses on companies providing solutions specifically for the domestic US market while Global X Clean Water AQWA and iShares MSCI Water Management Multisector IWTR each hold international stocks in their portfolios.

Banking industry group releases impact report

Impact Disclosure Taskforce, a financial industry group of global banks, has released a report focused on a $4.2 trillion annual financing gap identified by the United Nations sustainable development goals.

NYC pensions divest from fossil fuels

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a mayoral candidate, announced Tuesday that pension investments in private equity and infrastructure would divest from fossil fuels. The move comes after city pensions jettisoned publicly traded oil and gas companies earlier this year. 

Renewable lobbyists push for grassroots campaigns

Greenlight America, a renewable energy advocacy group, has begun organizing local government level responses to support solar and wind projects. The organization, which received IRS approval as a non-profit in 2023, is headquartered in Washington and reports having 20 staff members. The group counts political and labor activist Matt Traldi among its founders. The organization has recently begun hiring regional organizers across the nation.
