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.

Fermata Energy’s Newest V2X Bidirectional Charger - the FE-20 – Available Q1 2023

Fermata Energy Bringing Vehicle-to-Everything Solutions at Scale for Commercial Fleets

Fermata Energy, the leader in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) charging systems, today announced the upcoming release of its newest V2X bidirectional charger, the FE-20. With multiple commercial projects already successfully deployed with its FE-15 bidirectional charger, Fermata Energy is adding a second commercial charger option with the FE-20 to meet the increasing demand for V2X installations. V2X includes vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-building (V2B) projects.

“We are on the edge of a paradigm shift in how fleet vehicles are procured and valued by companies. Companies are facing increasing pressure to electrify their fleets. Yet, at the same time they are looking for ways to manage costs. V2X bidirectional charging actually allows them to both electrify their fleet and earn revenue while their EVs are parked,” said David Slutzky, CEO and founder of Fermata Energy. “Fermata Energy has pioneered bidirectional charging and now, along with our proprietary, cloud-based software platform, we are introducing our second, commercial bidirectional charger - the FE-20.”

The FE-20 is made exclusively for Fermata Energy by Heliox, a market leader in fast-charging systems.

Fermata Energy will unveil the FE-20 at a private event on October 6 in New York City, immediately following the conclusion of the EV Charging Infrastructure US conference. To request a pass to the unveiling event, contact events@fermataenergy.com

FE-20 and Bidirectional Charging

“Traditional” charging only sends power one way - from the grid to the EV. The FE-20 is a DC fast charger that both charges and discharges the battery of bidirectionally-enabled EVs, creating opportunities for fleet owners to earn revenue, while supporting grid resilience.

Depending upon available local utility programs, fleet operators with EVs, such as the Nissan LEAF, potentially can earn money in a couple of ways. They can be paid by their utility to send the energy stored in their EV fleet batteries to the grid or they are able to avoid peak demand charges by sending power to their building, which reduces the company’s electricity bill.

Fleet operators always control utilization of their vehicles. The FE-20 pairs with Fermata Energy’s proprietary V2X software platform, which sends fleet operators advance notice about opportunities to earn revenue.

The FE-20 bidirectional charger is a profit center that is comparable in cost to quality, commercial “traditional” chargers, which are cost centers to organizations with EV fleets.

Sample technical details of the FE-20 include:

- 20 kW for both charging and discharging

- ADA-compliant pedestal or wall mount

- UL certification pending

Fermata Energy is taking pre-orders for the FE-20 from fleet owners and operators for Q1 2023 delivery online at https://www.fermataenergy.com/solutions

Platform of success

The launch of the FE-20 builds upon the success of Fermata Energy’s FE-15 bidirectional charger, which has been earning customers thousands of dollars per EV per year since its release in 2020. Commercial and public sector fleet operators, such as the City of Boulder, Alliance Center in Denver, and Revel in Brooklyn, have deployed the Fermata Energy vehicle-to-everything platform to earn revenue or reduce building electricity costs through bidirectional charging.

The FE-15 is the first bidirectional charger to receive UL certification and the only one approved for use in the U.S. by Nissan as not impacting the Nissan LEAF battery warranty.
