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.

Vision Marine Technologies Innovates HV Marine Battery Packs in Collaboration With Calip Group

MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the "Company", "Vision Marine", "we", "us", "our") (Nasdaq:VMAR), a leading innovator in electric marine propulsion, announces the establishment of a production line for custom cooling plates in partnership with Calip Group, a leader in high-tech welding processes. Under this collaboration, Calip Group will supply components that enhance the thermal management of Vision Marine's high-voltage (HV) marine battery packs. These custom cooling plates are specifically tailored to meet the stringent demands of marine applications, with production slated to begin in 2025.

Marine battery packs operate in environments that demand sustained, high-power delivery over extended periods. In contrast, most high-voltage batteries are designed to provide only brief bursts of peak power and minimal continuous output. Marine applications, however, require continuous operation at elevated power levels, resulting in significant thermal stresses that can degrade battery cells and shorten their lifespan.

To address these challenges, Vision Marine has developed specialized cooling plates adapted to the unique thermal requirements of marine battery packs. By improving heat dissipation and stabilizing cell temperatures, these advanced cooling plates help maintain consistent performance, enhance reliability, and extend the operational life of the cells - even under the most rigorous marine conditions.

FSW (Friction Stir Welding) Cooling Plates - Schematics

"Overheating in a high-voltage battery designed for marine applications is a real challenge," said Xavier Montagne, Technical Director of Vision Marine. "We decided to design our own specialized cooling plate to enhance pack stability and, of course, increase thermal efficiency."
Calip Group contributed its technical expertise through its FSW (Friction Stir Welding) welding process, enabling the precise manufacture of fully sealed cooling plates.

"We adapted our industrial tooling to meet the exact constraints of the battery and its specific assembly process," said Thierry Giorgalla, General Director of Calip Group. "We've invested heavily in fine-tuning our FSW welding method to ensure a fully sealed cooling plate within tight tolerances. Calip is among the European leaders at mastering this high-tech process."

Vision Marine's E-Motion™ Powerpacks remain at the forefront of high-voltage marine battery technology. Among the first battery packs specifically designed for electric marine propulsion, they feature IP67-rated stainless-steel construction for superior durability, advanced thermal management systems, and modular configurations that seamlessly integrate into boats ranging from 18 to 34 feet. Vision Marine's meticulous engineering has ensured that the E-Motion Powerpacks operate with unparalleled safety and reliability, with no recorded instances of thermal runaway to date. This impeccable track record, paired with new custom cooling plates developed alongside Calip Group, underscores Vision Marine's commitment to proactive innovation and safety. Combined with full ownership of the tooling and strong production partnerships, the company is poised to scale manufacturing efficiently and reliably, meeting the rising market demand with confidence.

This development underscores Vision Marines' commitment to delivering advanced, reliable, and practical solutions that foster the adoption of sustainable marine propulsion systems. This production agreement with Calip Group is yet another step toward meeting growing market demand for high-performance electric boating technologies.
