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.

kWh Analytics Publishes 2022 Solar Generation Index, Finds that Solar Energy continues to Underperform Against Estimates

The 2022 annual report encourages collaboration and transparency to support the long-term growth of the renewable energy industry

kWh Analytics, the market leader in Climate Insurance and renewable energy risk management, today released their 2022 Solar Generation Index report. Utilizing operating data provided by industry collaborators and their proprietary Heliostats database, the company identified a persistent pattern of solar asset underproduction across the country.

This year’s report finds that solar assets broadly continued to perform well below expectations, with 2021 operational data showing nearly 8% average underproduction on a weather adjusted basis. Furthermore, the report breaks down project performance by vintage and operational year to highlight the fact that projects constructed after 2015 have missed P50 estimates by 7-13% in their first year of operation, a clear regression compared to production data from earlier vintages. For the first time, the 2022 report also evaluates asset performance as a function of project capacity and mount type, showing that the underperformance trend has not been isolated to any specific group of projects.

“Underperformance affects investors and lenders critical to the success and growth of solar projects,” said Jason Kaminksy, CEO of kWh Analytics. “As an industry, we must collaborate to find ways to course-correct in order to ensure the industry’s long-term financial health.”

The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act has renewed interest in zero-carbon energy assets, and the solar industry alone is expected to expand by nearly 40% over the next five years. To achieve sustainable growth and secure access to necessary capital investment, solar assets will need to exhibit financial health and stability.

“It is imperative that we continue to support the long-term success of the renewable energy sector,” said Jason Kaminksy, CEO of kWh Analytics. “To de-risk investments into zero-carbon assets and encourage resilience throughout the industry, sponsors and lenders should consider accurately priced risk-transfer products, be wary of aggressive production forecasts, and be collaborative with stakeholders to encourage data sharing.”

kWh Analytics generates this index to promote transparency and discussion within the industry. The goal is to provide stakeholders with the necessary data to continue developing and operating solar projects that ensure the industry’s continued growth, and ultimately work together towards a decarbonized future.
