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.

Oxford grad students win sustainable investing challenge for work on Bangladesh flooding

Oxford grad students win sustainable investing challenge for work on Bangladesh flooding

A team of graduate students from Oxford University has won the $10,000 the 2025 Kellogg-Morgan Stanley Sustainable Investing Challenge for its BanglaShield project, a financing vehicle for low-income households in Bangladesh.

The 15th annual global competition, sponsored by the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, inspires graduate students to address critical social and environmental issues through innovative financial vehicles.

The winning team of Harry Breidahl, Achyut Gautam, Sachi Jain and Phetogo Mogotsi created a plan to provide affordable flood resilience financing for low-income households in Bangladesh by blending concessional loans and parametric insurance. The team was one of 12 finalists selected from a field that included 158 entrants comprised of 545 students from 65 countries.

“The Sustainable Investing Challenge showcases the creativity and innovation of the next generation of sustainable finance leaders,” said Jessica Alsford, Morgan Stanley’s chief sustainability officer and chair of the Institute for Sustainable Investing. “We’re inspired by the bold ideas presented this year, which demonstrate the potential of financial solutions to drive real, lasting impact across industries and communities.”

The finalists pitched a wide variety of ideas, addressing social and environmental issues around the world including the sustainable aviation transition in New Zealand, urban heat and high energy costs in Harlem, the stability of Morocco’s desert truffle industry, and the reduction of post-harvest losses for smallholder farmers in Nigeria.

The second- and third-place prizes of $5,000 and $2,500 were awarded to the Sustainable Agri-aqua Investment Fund team from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and the Pharaoh Brick Fund team from York University’s Schulich School of Business, respectively.

The Sustainable Agri-aqua Investment Fund team, including Debdeep Bhattacharjee, Karuna Chauhan, Apurva P and Shagun Sharma, presented a plan to address groundwater depletion in Punjab by aligning micro-irrigation financing with pooled carbon credits and government-backed repayments linked to energy savings.

The Pharoah Brick Fund proposal aims to repurpose Egypt’s waste from demolition and rice straw into low-carbon bricks, thereby reducing pollution and landfill waste while promoting sustainable construction. The team consisted of Sara Amin, Aayush Rathore and Sadanand Shenoy.

“Each year, this competition reaffirms what we already know—the talent, drive and fresh thinking of today’s graduate students will be the key to tackling our most challenging global problems,” said Dave Chen, professor of finance at Kellogg Management School, CEO of Equilibrium Capital and the founder of the Sustainable Investing Challenge.

The three prize-winning teams were selected by a panel of sustainable finance experts and senior practitioners across the industry to advance to the final round, pitching to judges at Morgan Stanley in London in late April.
