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.

Itron and Duke Energy Florida Collaborate to Deliver Managed EV Charging Program

Duke Energy Florida Will Use Itron’s DER Optimizer Solution to Monitor Residential EV Charging

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, and Duke Energy Florida, which supplies electrical services to 1.9 million customers throughout Florida, are collaborating to deploy Itron’s newly developed DER Optimizer solution, powered by its industry-leading demand response platform, IntelliSOURCE®.

Itron is expanding its IntelliSOURCE platform to be the foundation of a broader distributed energy resource management solution set, in recognition of the rapidly evolving landscape of DERs that utilities need to monitor, optimize and orchestrate to maintain grid reliability and safety and meet decarbonization goals. The DER Optimizer solution is a suite of modules that enables utilities to monitor residential electric vehicle (EV) charging and manage holistic residential EV charging programs at scale.

Duke Energy Florida will use its existing instance of IntelliSOURCE EnterpriseTM to deploy the new DER Optimization modules and run a new managed EV charging program. The program will identify and provide credits for EV owners to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours. Itron is integrating with a comprehensive EV telematics platform provided by Rolling Energy Resources, which connects to cars through their native APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to allow easy on-boarding for customers and their vehicles into the program without needing to install additional hardware or communicating charging stations.

The program will begin in Q1 2022 and run for four years. During that time, Duke Energy Florida will use Itron’s DER Optimizer to collect permissible EV charging session data in near-real time and gain insights into residential EV charging behavior.

“As the first utility to deploy Itron’s DER Optimizer solution, Duke Energy is leading the way to better manage EV charging for residential consumers in Florida. The scalable solution will enable Duke Energy Florida to accommodate future growth of electric transportation within its service territory and discover best practices for residential EV Off Peak programs,” said Don Reeves, senior vice president of Outcomes at Itron. “Understanding the supply and demand of EV charging is critical. With Itron’s DER Optimizer solution, Duke Energy Florida will have a tool to do just that.”

Itron is a proven leader in distributed energy management, with programs active at 25 utilities, representing over 1 GW of connected load and 1.5 million enrolled devices. DER Optimizer expands the capabilities of Itron’s IntelliSOURCE DER management platform to connect to and control a wide range of residential DERs, including electric vehicles, smart inverters, smart thermostats, grid-integrated water heaters, energy management systems and other devices. DER Optimizer features near-real time analytics and optimization that provide DER program managers, grid planners and grid operators with a new class of actionable insights and control capabilities designed to help utilities successfully accommodate a high penetration of DERs.
