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.

LyondellBasell takes another step toward energy transition with new power agreements

Houston/Rotterdam, Jan. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LyondellBasell (LYB), a leader in the global chemical industry, announced today the signing of two significant power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Europe, further supporting its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The PPAs offer LYB long-term price certainty, which helps stabilize energy costs and make renewable energy more attractive compared to fluctuating fossil fuel prices.

“Adding these long-term agreements to our portfolio supports price stability to increase the use of renewable energy in a value-accretive way,” said Chris Cain, LYB senior vice president, net zero transition strategy. “Our diverse global portfolio of renewable energy not only reduces our carbon footprint but also supports our customers’ ability to meet their CO2 reduction objectives.”

Under the 15-year agreement with Vattenfall, LYB will secure 450 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually of offshore wind energy to support LYB’s circular and low-carbon solutions in Germany, including powering the company’s MoReTec-1 plant in Wesseling. The MoReTec-1 plant is the company’s first commercial-scale advanced recycling plant and is designed to recycle the amount of plastic packaging waste generated by over 1.2 million German citizens per year using LYB’s proprietary technology.

LYB also signed a long-term PPA with wpd, securing 79 GWh annually of onshore wind power from the Licata project in Sicily, Italy. The 10-year agreement is expected to begin in 2026 and will help provide a reliable supply of renewable and low-carbon electricity to the region, including LYB’s production site and research center in Ferrara, Italy. The LYB site is the world's largest for Ziegler-Natta catalyst development and production. The polymer manufacturing units at the Ferrara site produce polypropylene and advanced polyolefin resins used in a wide variety of applications including food packaging, medical products and automotive parts.

Both power agreements help integrate renewable energy into the grid, improving infrastructure and reliability and demonstrating the company's commitment to be a value-oriented leader throughout the industry’s energy transition.
