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.

Materion and Kairos Power to Advance Clean Energy

Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), a world leader in high-performing advanced materials, has jointly commissioned a Molten Salt Purification Plant (MSPP) with Kairos Power at Materion’s location in Elmore, Ohio for the commercial production of Flibe, a molten salt coolant used in nuclear energy production.

The facility is now entering the start-up phase for this unique material that will help enable the world’s transition to clean energy. The two companies formed the strategic collaboration in 2020 to develop a reliable and cost-effective supply of salt coolant for high-temperature molten salt reactors – a clean, affordable and safe nuclear energy solution that has the potential to transform the global energy landscape. The technology provides a zero-carbon source of electricity with cost targets that are competitive with natural gas combined cycle plants.

“We’re very pleased to work with Kairos Power on this exciting, next-generation nuclear power technology and to support them in their mission to provide clean, safe and sustainable energy for the future,” said Clive Grannum, President of Performance Materials at Materion. “Materion is the only domestic supplier of the beryllium fluoride component for Flibe, a key component of this energy solution. Our team will continue to collaborate with Kairos Power to develop this and other cutting-edge technologies.”

Beryllium provides a unique combination of properties that is enabling for an advanced nuclear reactor operation. For molten salt nuclear reactors, Flibe, a mixture of beryllium fluoride and lithium fluoride, is an ideal heat transfer fluid. It provides very high thermal capacity, chemical stability, and desirable neutron moderating characteristics. These characteristics make Flibe an outstanding choice as a coolant for the Kairos Power’s Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR).

As an industry leader in the production and manufacturing of high-performance advanced materials, Materion supplies beryllium fluoride for the MSPP and contributes requisite expertise, staffing and operating the plant. The decision to locate MSPP at Materion’s Elmore facility reinforces a long-term, strategic commitment by both companies to demonstrate leadership in the role molten salt plays in clean energy production.

About Materion

Materion Corporation is headquartered in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. Materion, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, supplies highly engineered advanced enabling materials to global markets. Products include precious and non-precious specialty metals, inorganic chemicals and powders, specialty coatings, specialty engineered beryllium alloys, beryllium and beryllium composites, and engineered clad and plated metal systems.

About Kairos Power

Kairos Power is a mission-driven nuclear technology, engineering and manufacturing company singularly focused on commercializing the fluoride salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor (KP-FHR) – a clean source of carbon-free energy that can be deployed with robust safety at an affordable cost. Founded in 2016, the company is unique in applying a rapid iterative development approach supported by a vertical integration strategy to bring advanced reactor technology to market. Following extensive pre-application engagement with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Kairos Power’s Construction Permit Application for the Hermes low-power demonstration reactor is currently under formal review. Kairos Power’s mission is to enable the world’s transition to clean energy with the ultimate goal of dramatically improving people’s quality of life while protecting the environment.
