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.

KOCH INVESTS: Solid-State Battery Solutions With Blue Current

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Koch Industries

DESCRIPTION:

Koch Strategic Platforms is investing $30 million in Blue Current, a manufacturer of advanced solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, grid storage and more.

HOW IT WORKS: Blue Current’s proprietary battery maximizes safety and performance, stabilizes temperature, and enables greater scalability across uses. The fully dry high silicon elastic composite battery combines the mechanical properties of polymers with the ionic conductivity of glass ceramics.

WHY KOCH INVESTED: As production of battery-powered devices increases, more forms of energy storage are necessary. Blue Current’s technology enables fire resistance, high energy density and a longer life cycle.

The funding will accelerate commercialization of the company’s technology and the construction of its first megawatt-scale factory in California.

“Solid-state battery technology will play a pivotal role in global energy transformation,” said Jeremy Bezdek, managing director for KSP. “Our extensive diligence indicated that Blue Current has an advantaged intellectual property position that has the potential to be disruptive in the solid-state battery space.”

WHAT’S NEXT: Blue Current is developing a 22,000-foot production-ready facility in Hayward, California, with state-of-the-art wet and dry labs, battery cycling and high-bay logistics space. The battery is in early-stage testing with automotive customers and will expand to consumer electronics and other market segments.

THE BIG PICTURE: Blue Current is the latest investment from KSP in the energy value chain, part of over $1.2 billion since 2021.

These include investments in Li-Cycle, Aspen Aerogels, Eos and Standard Lithium.
