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.

Baker Hughes Receives Award from Equinor to Industrialize Offshore Plug & Abandonment Operations in Oseberg East Field

  • Baker Hughes awarded P&A agreement based on Mature Assets Solutions portfolio
  • Agreement will enable Equinor to drive efficiencies, industrialize P&A operations through end-to-end integration
  • Award marks first project as part of multi-year frame agreement for integrated well services

HOUSTON and LONDON, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, will provide Equinor plug and abandonment (P&A) services in the Oseberg East field on Norway’s continental shelf. Baker Hughes’ Mature Assets Solutions team will lead the integrated P&A campaign planning phase, as well as delivering integrated P&A services in execution across several wells in the North Sea.

Baker Hughes has a history of successful integrated P&A projects, as well as its innovative portfolio of Mature Assets Solutions with a proven track record of increasing efficiency, accelerating timelines and reducing total operating costs. Through this integrated P&A program, Baker Hughes will plug and abandon wells and provide project management services on behalf of Equinor.

“Our Mature Assets Solutions experts are well equipped to manage every phase of P&A and optimize operations to meet Equinor’s well abandonment goals,” said Amerino Gatti, executive vice president of Oilfield Services & Equipment at Baker Hughes. “As this project unfolds, we will collectively unlock new efficiencies that set new standards for well abandonment solutions, providing cost-effective solutions to Equinor through collaboration, technology, optimization and integration.”

This project follows the March 2025 signing of a multi-year framework agreement between Baker Hughes and Equinor to provide integrated plug and abandonment services. To manage the project, Baker Hughes will establish a P&A Center of Excellence in Bergen and Stavanger. This hub of expertise will bring together project managers and subject matter experts to centralize P&A activities in the North Sea, ensuring the most economical and reliable solutions are implemented to responsibly abandon each well while maximizing operational efficiencies.

Baker Hughes’ differentiating well abandonment portfolio include cutting-edge technologies, such as PRIME Powered Mechanical Applications, CICM (Casing Integrity & Cement Mapping), MASTODON™ casing retrieval system, and the Xtreme SJI mechanical slotting tool. Planning for Oseberg East is now underway, and the execution is scheduled to begin in 2026.
