About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Interest in sustainable investing is growing across the globe, with Gen Z and Millennials in the lead

Interest in sustainable investing is growing across the globe, with Gen Z and Millennials in the lead

Sustainable investing remains a strong trend worldwide as Gen Z and Millennial investors are nearly unanimous in their interest in having their portfolios make an impact, a survey out this week from the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing shows.

The Sustainable Signals report found an overwhelming majority of global investors (88%) saying they are interested in sustainable investing. Younger investors show the most interest in sustainability, with 99% of Gen Z and 97% of Millennial investors expressing interest. Nearly two-thirds of all investors (64%) say their interest has increased in the last year.

The survey polled 1,765 active individual investors with more than $100,000 in investable assets across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific between February and March of this year to assess attitudes toward sustainable investing and where investors see the greatest opportunities and challenges.

“Our Sustainable Signals survey shows that investors across demographic groups and regions continue to believe that investments can achieve both positive real-world outcomes and competitive market-rate returns,” said Jessica Alsford, chief sustainability officer and chair of the Institute for Sustainable Investing at Morgan Stanley.

“Younger investors plan to increase portfolio allocations to sustainable options at higher rates and prioritize a broader range of environmental and social issues when making investment decisions. This suggests that sustainability could become an even greater focus area for investors in the future as younger generations gain more financial influence,” she said in a press release announcing the findings.

Other survey highlights:

  • Sustainable allocations: Over half of investors surveyed (59%) say they plan to increase their portfolio allocations to sustainable investments in the next year. Growing confidence that these options offer returns comparable to or better than traditional investments was cited as the top reason (24%).
  • Driven by climate change: Investors also chose seeing the real-world impacts of climate change as a key reason for increasing their allocation. Just under a third (31%) plan to maintain their current allocation to sustainable investments, with portfolio diversification given as the most common reason.
  • Energy transition: Across all regions, investors ranked renewable energy and energy efficiency as top investment priorities, and over 80% see the energy transition as an opportunity to generate returns.
  • Geographic priorities: When it came to other sustainable solutions, regional differences emerged. North America respondents placed greater focus on health-care affordability and innovation, while investors in Europe and APAC put more emphasis on energy storage and battery technology as well as regenerative agriculture and sustainable land use.
  • Financial advice: Almost 80% of global investors surveyed are likely to choose a financial advisor or investment platform based on sustainable investing offerings. This is stronger for Gen Z (96%) and Millennials (92%), suggesting that opportunity exists for advisors, especially as wealth transfers to younger investors in the years to come.

The Sustainable Signals series was launched in 2015 and measures the views of individual investors, institutional investors and corporates on sustainable investing. View the full results of the latest survey here.
