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.

Cordia Completes Acquisition of East Village District Plant from JMI Realty

San Diego, CA, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cordia, a leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, today announced the successful acquisition of the East Village District Plant (EVDP) from JMI Realty. The chilled water facility, located in San Diego’s East Village neighborhood, provides district cooling to eight customers spanning commercial, residential, hospitality, and entertainment sectors.

EVDP was conceived and developed by JMI Realty in 2004 as a state-of-the-art centralized cooling facility to serve Petco Park and the surrounding developments in the newly established Ballpark District. EVDP exemplifies forward-thinking infrastructure planning, representing a cornerstone of JMI’s vision for a sustainable, vibrant Sports & Entertainment District in San Diego. Today, the plant continues to support a neighborhood that has since attracted billions of dollars in investment and development.

This acquisition marks a significant expansion of Cordia’s infrastructure portfolio in San Diego, where the company already owns and operates a district energy plant serving numerous governmental and commercial buildings downtown. With the addition of EVDP, Cordia further solidifies its role in advancing resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy systems in one of California’s most dynamic urban markets.

“The East Village District Plant is a strategic complement to our existing operations in downtown San Diego,” said Jake Graff, Cordia’s Regional President of the North and West Region. “This acquisition enables us to better serve the city’s growing energy needs while laying the groundwork for continued decarbonization and clean energy integration. We're especially excited about the planned addition of a solar array, which will support our long-term sustainability goals and reduce reliance on the grid.”

EVDP is an integral component of the East Village community’s energy infrastructure. Cordia’s stewardship ensures continuity of service and a path forward for system enhancements and environmental performance improvements. The planned installation of a solar array will help offset electrical usage and aligns with San Diego’s ambitious clean energy objectives.

“Cordia brings deep experience and a long-term commitment to operating and growing district energy networks,” said John Kratzer, CEO of JMI Realty. “We are proud of the legacy we built through the East Village District Plant and our leadership role in the master planning of the Ballpark District. We are confident that Cordia will continue to enhance the value of the East Village District Plant and support San Diego’s clean energy future. This transaction represents an exciting new chapter for the plant and its stakeholders.”

Cordia will continue working closely with local partners and customers to ensure a smooth transition and sustained excellence in operations.
