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.

Billion Dollar Lead Service Line Replacement Tool Featured in Leading Civic and Educational Directories

CHICAGO, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Environmental & Public Health International (EPHI), a leader in Flint Water Crisis–focused drinking water training led by the former EPA Flint Emergency Coordinator, announced today that its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC) has been officially listed in MERLOT and the Civic Tech Field Guide—two of the nation’s most respected directories for civic innovation and educational tools.

The free browser-based tool helps utilities, municipalities, engineers, and public health professionals model and estimate the cost of lead service line replacement—a critical step in protecting public health and complying with federal regulations. Since its launch in April 2025, the calculator has been used to estimate over $3 billion in lead service line replacement costs, based on anonymized analytics data.

These listings reflect growing national recognition of EPHI’s broader impact—including its Flint Water Crisis: Drinking Water Training courses, which are also listed in MERLOT and the Civic Tech Field Guide—as trusted resources supporting public health and drinking water infrastructure transparency.

“Being listed in MERLOT and the Civic Tech Field Guide validates what we’ve known from the beginning—that this tool fills a vital gap,” said Anthony Ross, founder of EPHI and former EPA Flint Emergency Coordinator. “It helps communities take control of their lead service line replacement planning.”

The MERLOT listing affirms its instructional value in environmental science, engineering, and public health education, while the Civic Tech Field Guide placement highlights its broader role in civic technology and infrastructure transparency.

With thousands of communities preparing to replace lead service lines nationwide, the need for accessible, no-cost planning tools is more urgent than ever. To support this effort, EPHI is offering sponsorship opportunities to mission-aligned public, nonprofit, and private sector organizations.
