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.

Video: Waking up to climate risk in the municipal bond markets

Video: Waking up to climate risk in the municipal bond markets

Tom Doe, CEO of Municipal Market Analytics, an independent research firm providing strategic analysis and insights on the U.S. municipal bond market, joined me on a recent episode of The Impact to discuss climate impacts on muni bond pricing and credit.

Jeff Gitterman: We could just start by the fact that for 10 years I’ve been asking people why the municipal markets aren’t pricing in climate risk. Maybe you could finally give  me the answer to that question.

Tom Doe: It’s all about denial. The big thing is that the market has just believed that climate is not a material event to the payment of the bonds. And so as a result, everyone has just been in denial with it. In the past, the municipal market has always believed that FEMA would bail them out, that federal money would come in and restore the community and provide a situation of economic vibrancy, bonds would appreciate in price. And we go on the next day.

JG: Yeah, everyone made out from weather issues, which is a terrible thing.

TD: Correct. But it was a federal support, and that, as we’ve talked about, is, and we’ve all seen in the
headlines, is that now FEMA may not be there, and I think this is a huge, huge event for the municipal bond industry because we won’t have that backstop.

JG: We’re already starting to see from data some moving patterns around lower risk flood areas where people are not wanting to move, or they’re pricing higher for higher elevation. So I feel like you’ve got this squeeze about to happen in the municipal markets, where client and clients and homeowners have this data, and FEMA might be backing off. Are you hearing any sense from either municipal bond rating agencies or from municipal bond issuers that they’re starting to get concerned about all of this?

TD: The concern is rising. But the rating agencies have bought climate data companies and now are stating that they are incorporating climate data into their measurements of creditworthiness. And now what’s interesting is that since the rating agencies are looking at climate data, now that’s creating a material event.
