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 Emerson Collaborate to Offer Smart Thermostats for Demand Response Programs

Emerson Thermostats to Increase Sustainability and Reliability in Itron’s Bring Your Own Device and Direct Install DR and DER Programs

Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating the way utilities and cities manage energy and water, is collaborating with Emerson, a global technology and engineering leader, to offer reliable thermostats as part of Itron’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), direct install demand response (DR) and distributed energy resource (DER) programs. With thermostats controlling about 50% of a home’s energy usage*, offering Emerson’s Sensi™ smart thermostat and Sensi™ Touch smart thermostats as part of any utility’s energy management portfolio gives consumers more control and visibility into their energy usage and allows utilities to improve grid reliability and sustainability. They also provide a means for cost-effective, customer-focused incentive programs that manages air conditioning or heating load throughout a service territory.

Itron’s newly developed DER Optimizer solution, which is powered by its industry-leading demand response platform, IntelliSOURCE®, will be fully integrated to provide direct control and management of Emerson’s Sensi thermostats for BYOD and direct install programs. BYOD solutions give utilities the ability to easily include retail Wi-Fi thermostats and other third-party devices in new or existing DR, DER and energy efficiency programs. As part of a BYOD program, consumers who purchase an Emerson Sensi smart thermostat or Sensi Touch smart thermostat through retail outlets can seamlessly connect the device to their Wi-Fi. With the direct install model, utility companies have the option to install Emerson smart thermostats for participating customers, while the utility retains ownership of the thermostat in the consumer home.

Emerson’s smart thermostats, when used in conjunction with Itron’s DER Optimizer solution, give consumers control over their energy usage through the Sensi app or through the utility’s mobile app and provides utilities with a flexible resource to achieve their program goals.

“We are excited to have Emerson’s Sensi thermostats join our ecosystem of third-party devices for Itron’s BYOD and direct install DR programs. The programs not only give utilities the opportunity to better engage with their customers, but also allow utilities to maintain supply and demand, and ensure grid reliability,” said Don Reeves, senior vice president of Outcomes at Itron. “Sensi smart thermostats are a great addition to our DR programs, featuring easy installation and intuitive controls compatible with other home automation systems.”

“Our advanced technologies make it possible for consumers to create their ideal home environment and lower their energy footprint,” said Craig Rossman, president of comfort control at Emerson. “In collaboration with Itron, which is dedicated to creating a more resourceful world, we are able to enhance demand response programs with the latest smart thermostat technology to help improve grid reliability and sustainability.”

Itron’s Distributed Energy Management (DEM) group is a leading provider of utility technologies and services, with 25 active DR/DER programs controlling over 2 million behind-the-meter devices.
