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.

Natural Gas and Renewables Will Work Together To Achieve Energy Independence

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Black & Veatch

DESCRIPTION:

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, along with ensuing decisions to ban or reduce demand for Russian oil and gas exports, have caused significant shifts in the global oil and gas market and reminded citizens and governments worldwide of the need for stability of domestic oil and gas costs. To insulate domestic prices from the unpredictability of the global market, the United States and Europe are placing greater focus on achieving energy independence, explain Black & Veatch’s Carina Winters and Bryan Mandelbaum in a recent article for Pipeline Technology Quarterly’s Gas 2022 Issue.

To many, the solution may seem simple: build out more renewable and clean energy generation assets. In reality, the path forward is more complex, as renewable development will rely on natural gas both as a back-up and for growth and development of new technologies.

While the long-term goal is, of course, to operate at net-zero carbon emissions, pairing natural gas with clean energy technologies will ensure society can maintain its current energy intensity throughout the transition, making it “the only realistic pathway to a decarbonized world,” explain Winters and Mandelbaum.

The integrated solution will deploy a range of decarbonized and low-carbon technologies, many supported in their own ways by natural gas. Wind, solar, hydropower and more can be paired with gas-powered quick-start engines to increase reliability. Natural gas may be used for blue hydrogen production to stimulate end-use application growth in the hydrogen market, which will in turn promote green hydrogen adoption.

Though each country’s response to the current disarray of the global oil and gas market will vary, the overarching answer will be to increase reliance on renewables while accepting the role natural gas plays in a successful transition.

“The core of energy independence plans should balance investment in renewable energy resources with considerations on how to build resiliency and security into the natural gas supply,” write Winters and Mandelbaum. “Focusing solely on clean energy without incorporating plans for the continued use of natural gas would be short-sighted, as natural gas offers a support, both financially and technologically, to the clean energy transition.”
