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.

Ocean Flow Inc. Launches AVANTPET 2.0 — An Eco-Friendly Pet Cooling Mat Made with FDA-Approved Food-Grade Ingredients — on Kickstarter





Ocean Flow Inc., a developer and manufacturer of sustainable pet cooling products, officially announces the global launch of AVANTPET 2.0, a cooling mat made from FDA-approved food-grade ingredients, on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

DOVER, DE, April 25, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ocean Flow Inc., a developer and manufacturer of sustainable pet cooling products, officially announces the global launch of AVANTPET 2.0, a cooling mat made from FDA-approved food-grade ingredients, on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

As extreme heatwaves become more frequent and severe, pets with limited ability to regulate their body temperature are increasingly vulnerable to dehydration, heatstroke, and in severe cases, shock. While air conditioning may seem simple, excessive use can lead to rising electricity bills, energy waste, and respiratory issues in pets caused by sudden indoor temperature shifts. In response, cooling mats have become an essential item for pet owners. These mats help lower the perceived body temperature of pets without drastically reducing indoor temperatures, offering an energy-efficient and sustainable solution that protects both the environment and pet health.

Although widely used, not all pet cooling mats guarantee the same level of safety or quality. Some low-cost gel-based mats contain chemical ingredients that may pose serious health risks if the mat is punctured or ingested by pets. These materials are also prone to mold growth, and may release microplastics when disposed of, posing risks not only to pet health but also to the environment.

To solve these issues, Ocean Flow Inc. has developed its own proprietary, safer cooling gel formula. Backed by U.S. Patent No. 11,895,983 and South Korean Patent No. 10-2292247, AVANTPET 2.0 uses only FDA-approved food-grade ingredients. Even if pets bite into the mat or accidentally ingest the gel inside, the materials are safe (similar to those found in common foods like ice cream or snack products). The mat also features anti-fungal technology specifically designed to inhibit mold growth by up to 99%, helping maintain hygiene and extend longevity.

Based on Ocean Flow Inc.'s self-developed patented technology, AVANTPET 2.0 features the in-house developed AVANT COOLGEL, which provides a cooling effect approximately 40°F (about 4.4°C) lower than ambient temperature. Its high-viscosity thermal conduction helps quickly circulate and dissipate pet body heat, enabling longer and more stable cooling.

Furthermore, AVANTPET 2.0 is the first South Korean pet product to integrate Polygiene® StayFresh™, a patented antibacterial and odor-control technology from Sweden's leading global hygiene innovator. This inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi while adding water resistance for added durability. The mat's outer cover is made of skin-safe microfiber fabric that has passed non-irritation tests, making it ideal for pets with sensitive skin.

Unlike stiff cooling mats, AVANTPET 2.0 maintains a slushy-soft texture even when frozen, so it's comfortable to use immediately. Its foldable structure enhances portability, making it perfect for outdoor activities, car rides, and travel.

Through this Kickstarter launch, AVANTPET will officially debut as a premium, eco-friendly cooling brand for pets, people, and the planet. AVANTPET 2.0 will go live on Kickstarter on April 23, 2025, with Super Early Bird rewards offered in limited quantities at exclusive discounted prices.

This campaign marks the first step in Ocean Flow Inc.'s mission to promote healthy coexistence between pets and the environment, and represents a bold leap toward globalizing its sustainable technology platform.
