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.

GOP summit focuses on climate solutions even as party leaders deny climate change

Republican summit focuses on climate solutions at a time when party leaders deny climate change

A climate summit of conservative lawmakers and energy industry leaders was held in recent days during a particularly sensitive time in U.S. politics.

Hosted by the Conservative Climate Caucus, the third annual Conservative Climate Summit unfolded in Utah last Friday. In keynote sessions, panel discussions and breakout sessions, participants explored “conservative solutions” for energy, the economy, and agriculture aimed at strengthening national security.

The summit featured Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah) as a keynote speaker. The congressman argued the Republican party has a history of embracing progressive environmental policies. The EPA, Curtis pointed out to his colleagues, was created by President Richard Nixon.

“As Republicans, let’s let go of that fear [of climate] and embrace clean,” Curtis said.

The Conservative Climate Caucus is made up of 85 Republican members of Congress. The group works to push their party toward constructive dialogue on climate change and its causes, while also fighting progressive climate proposals that the caucus argues would “hurt our economy, American workers, and national security.”

“The climate is changing, and decades of a global industrial era that has brought prosperity to the world has also contributed to that change,” the caucus website states.

Their efforts face opposition from among party leaders, and could see further pushback if former President Donald Trump is elected to a second term in November.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has pushed to remove renewable energy initiatives from the Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2022. And Trump, meanwhile, has publicly argued that climate change is a hoax.

Academics find climate change made Helene more intense

The academic think tank World Weather Attribution (WWA) released a study Wednesday that links the intensity of Hurricane Helene — the Category 4 storm that ravaged parts of Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina in late September — with climate change.

The study finds that the hurricane formed over the Gulf of Mexico over several days when record-hot sea surface measures affected the region.

The findings come as Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on Florida, and government officials, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are denying the role of climate change as a cause of storm intensity. Institutions participating in the WWA study included Imperial College London, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, the French Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory, Princeton University, and the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research.

BrightNight closes on Goldman Sachs investment

Independent renewables power producer BrightNight announced Monday that it has closed a $440 investment from Goldman Sachs Alternatives.

The deal will provide capital for completion of Florida-based BrightNight’s planned rollout of solar and storage projects totaling 31-gigawatt. In the same announcement, BrightNight disclosed an increase in the company’s existing credit facility from $375 to $400 million.

Insurers brace for Milton

Reinsurance companies face losses that may reach $150 billion as Hurricane Milton strikes the West Coast of Florida on Thursday, according to estimates reported by Bloomberg.

While the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund will absorb a large portion of the losses, investors are bracing for a significant hit to private insurers. In a research note Monday morning, UBS analyst Brian Merideth said: “As the insured loss increases, reinsurers will absorb an increasingly larger share of the insured loss.”
