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.

Lead Service Line Replacement Funding Just Got Easier: Free Tool Earns DOI Citation from Open Science Framework, Strengthening State Revolving Fund Applications

CHICAGO, June 24, 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 cited with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) by the Open Science Framework (OSF). This recognition represents a major milestone in the collective efforts of federal, Tribal, and local governments to eliminate lead exposure and improve drinking water infrastructure. Since its launch in April 2025, the calculator has been utilized to estimate over $3 billion in lead service line replacement costs, according to anonymized usage data.

The DOI formally designates the LSLRCC as a scientifically credible and citable resource—one that funding agencies, regulatory bodies, and policymakers can confidently reference in grant applications, compliance reports, and infrastructure planning to support data-driven decisions and secure financial resources.

As a free, multilingual, browser-based lead service line replacement tool now recognized in a peer-reviewed scientific repository, the LSLRCC helps Tribal and local governments precisely estimate lead service line replacement costs, strengthen State Revolving Fund (SRF) applications, and advance public health protections. It directly supports the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) by equipping decision-makers with data-driven resources to accelerate compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI).

“Being listed in the Open Science Framework with an official DOI reinforces the importance of this tool in advancing the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, equipping communities with tools and data to strengthen State Revolving Fund applications, and accelerating implementation of the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements,” said Anthony Ross, founder of EPHI and former EPA Flint Emergency Coordinator.

As the national effort intensifies to replace millions of lead service lines across the United States, the need for effective planning tools is more critical than ever. To support this effort, mission-driven public, nonprofit, and private sector partners can now sponsor this Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)-aligned tool.
