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.

SolarEdge Joins Rocky Mountain Power’s Wattsmart Battery Program Offering Integrated Solar + Storage

SolarEdge offers an integrated solar + battery storage solution – meeting the utility’s demands for rapid and flexible deployment of backup power and providing enhanced energy efficiency for solar rooftop owners

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (“SolarEdge”) (NASDAQ: SEDG), and grid operator Rocky Mountain Power today announced the qualification of the SolarEdge Home Battery to join Rocky Mountain Power’s award-winning Wattsmart Battery program.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220928005626/en/

The integrated solar + battery solution will help improve grid stability, enable greater use of renewables, and keep costs among the lowest in the nation.

The integrated solar + battery solution will help improve grid stability, enable greater use of renewables, and keep costs among the lowest in the nation.

This marks an important next step in Rocky Mountain Power’s efforts to leverage customer-generated solar power along with battery technology in the homes of over 60,000 existing rooftop solar customers in Utah and Idaho. SolarEdge’s addition will improve grid stability, enable greater use of renewables, and keep costs among the lowest in the nation.

Launched in 2021, the Wattsmart Battery program utilizes a growing fleet of residential batteries to help manage the electric system during peak usage periods.

The groundbreaking program has over 3,000 batteries currently enrolled in Utah and Idaho. The SolarEdge partnership will allow Rocky Mountain Power to take advantage of the fast response and accurate cloud control of SolarEdge smart inverters and distributed batteries to help balance the grid in real-time while building toward the grid of the future.

“Wattsmart is an innovative program, but what really sets it apart from other VPPs is the speed of deployment. While typical demand-response programs work on a day-ahead basis, the Wattsmart program is designed to respond on-demand with almost immediate response in unplanned grid events,” said Peter Mathews, SolarEdge North America general manager. “The more flexibility and speed battery assets can provide, the more valuable they are to grid operators – both as a contingency and frequency reserve. As we continue to move towards a net-zero economy, this level of optimization will become the standard for VPP models, allowing grid operators such as Rocky Mountain Power to build a resilient and flexible distributed energy grid of the future.”

Homeowners joining the Wattsmart Battery program with the DC-Coupled SolarEdge Home Battery will benefit from higher efficiency due to its ability to directly store DC power from the sun, reducing the number of energy conversions and reducing energy loss.

“When a customer participates in the program, they are partnering with Rocky Mountain Power to innovate for the future and become part of a sustainable energy grid solution,” said Bill Comeau, Rocky Mountain Power vice president of customer experience and innovation. “The SolarEdge Home Battery, along with its advanced grid-connectivity capabilities, will help us to advance that effort.”
