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.

Congress’s Budget Bill Risks Jobs, Innovation, and Energy Security

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - The passage into law of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act marks a substantial shift in U.S. energy policy — reversing policies that have powered energy growth to meet skyrocketing energy demand. While proponents cast it as a pro-growth, budget‑cutting measure, its impact on America’s burgeoning solar, wind, and storage industries is profoundly concerning.

The bill phases out clean energy tax credits rapidly. These credits helped in the deployment of 49 GW of energy capacity in 2024 alone — representing 93% of all new electricity generation. Cutting them short now disrupts manufacturing, risks hundreds of thousands of jobs and could lead to increased electricity rates across the country.

U.S. electricity demand is expected to rise 35–50% by 2040, primarily fueled by the increase in data centers and the artificial intelligence. Clean energy—wind, solar, storage—is positioned to fill that gap. With more than 2,000 GW queued for interconnection and 95% of upcoming projects coming from renewables, derailing this pipeline now raises serious concerns about meeting future energy needs.

The clean energy economy is a powerhouse: 320 GW of utility-scale capacity, supporting nearly 80 million homes, sustaining 1.4 million jobs, and contributing $18 billion to GDP annually. Faster tax credit phase-outs threaten to stall U.S. manufacturing growth spurred by the demand of clean energy components— undermining U.S. competitiveness against countries like China and forfeiting thousands of high-paying jobs in rural America.

While incentives for oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydrogen, and carbon capture remain strong, solar and wind now face additional hurdles to the detriment of energy reliability. The bill unmistakably tilts federal policy toward specific energy sources at a time when diversification is key to grid resilience.

As a result, the threat of higher consumer prices and diminished grid reliability without clean energy’s rapid expansion is real. We need every reliable energy source—but we also need coherence in federal policy that doesn’t undercut one side of the energy spectrum.

This new law will slow the renewable boom. Developers and consumers in this race know the stakes: global competitiveness, energy affordability, and environmental stewardship. Our national interest demands it. The new law is a step back—and America’s energy future deserves better.
