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.

Are Your Financial Investments Good for the Planet?

SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Did you know that a thoughtful investment strategy can go beyond simply delivering big returns? Financial professionals say that with some careful consideration, it can also reflect your values.

To help you get started, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals answer some commonly asked questions about how to align your finances with what matters most to you:

How can I be a responsible investor? Socially responsible investing (SRI) is a strategy that aligns your portfolio with your passions and involves seeking out investment opportunities with companies that follow environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. For example:

• Does the company work to minimize its environmental impact?

• Does the company treat its employees and stakeholders fairly?

• Does it support social programs in its community?

• Does the company employ ethical governance and legal practices? Does it conduct impartial internal audits? Is its decision-making transparent and accountable?

How can I research ESG investments? First, determine your priorities, then do some research. You can find information about ESG investments on websites such as GreenInvestor and Morningstar. For a list of socially responsible mutual funds, visit the US SIF website.

Following the news can help you identify which companies are making a positive impact. A CFP® professional can guide you in avoiding unethical companies, finding meaningful investment opportunities and ensuring that your strategy continues to move you toward your financial goals.

What does ESG investing look like? Beyond traditional stocks and bonds, SRI choices can include mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments, such as peer-to-peer lending and farmland investments, community development financial investments that provide services in low-income areas, and micro-financing that supports startups worldwide, including in developing countries.

How else can I give back? In addition to socially responsible investing, your financial planning strategy can also include philanthropic giving. This might mean contributions to the charity of your choice, planned giving in your will or contributions to a donor-advised fund. Your CFP® professional can help you structure these donations to maximize their impact while optimizing tax benefits.

To find a CFP® professional who will help you invest in the future you want to help create, visit LetsMakeAPlan.org.

With a smart plan and a financial advisor’s guidance, you can make a meaningful impact on the world, no matter how much money you have.
