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 FE-20 Bidirectional EV Charger and V2G Software Platform Achieves UL 9741 and UL 1741 SA Certifications, Signaling Shift in EV Charging Landscape

By: via Business Wire

Fermata Energy, a leading pioneer in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, reveals that its FE-20 bidirectional charging system is fully certified to UL 9741, the Standard for Bidirectional EV Charging System Equipment and UL 1741-SA, the Standard for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources, Supplement SA. This achievement reinforces Fermata Energy’s dedication to top-tier safety and performance and builds on the success of its FE-15 chargers, which are operational across the U.S. The certification aligns with original equipment manufacturers' (OEMs) growing emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs) with bidirectional charging, marking a pivotal advancement in the industry.

The FE-20 is developed exclusively for Fermata Energy by Heliox, a leading provider of EV fast-charging equipment. This 20 kW bidirectional DC charger charges and discharges an EV’s batteries with Fermata Energy’s proprietary AI-based software platform that optimally balances an EV owner’s transportation needs with revenue opportunities when the vehicle is parked. Tailored for commercial customers, the FE-20 is engineered with increased power, improved cost-effectiveness and enhanced features compared to its FE-15 predecessor. EV and fleet owners can capitalize on these chargers as revenue assets by participating in utility programs, allowing them to sell stored energy from EVs back into the grid or to offset peak demand costs.

"Earning UL certification exemplifies our dedication to excellence, safety, and regulatory compliance. We're not only innovating; we're ensuring every solution we offer stands up to the highest standards. Companies seek solutions that aren’t just feasible but also financially sound. V2X bidirectional charging isn't just a means to electrify—it's a pathway to earning revenue. The FE-20, combined with our state-of-the-art AI software platform, is pivotal in this convergence of mobility and electrification," said Tony Posawatz, CEO of Fermata Energy.

Fermata Energy, a V2X software platform services provider, became a trailblazer in 2020 as the first company to secure UL 9741 certification in North America by UL, for its FE-15 charging system. The certification of the FE-20 system follows the company’s natural progression as the leading innovator in V2G technology and stands at the convergence of mobility and electrification in the North American market.

“With Fermata Energy achieving the first UL 9741 and UL 1741-SA certification of a Vehicle-to-Grid compliant bidirectional EV charger, UL Solutions is helping to build trust in this technology among fleet managers, consumers and other stakeholders,” said Milan Dotlich, vice president and general manager of Energy and Industrial Automation at UL Solutions. “We continue to monitor technical developments and regulatory changes to help enable innovation and speed to market as the future of mobility evolves.”

Michael Colijn, CEO of Heliox, shares, "At Heliox, we're excited to have partnered with Fermata Energy on the development of the FE-20 bidirectional charger. This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to driving the evolution of fast-charging systems and V2X technology. The FE-20, born from this partnership, represents a significant step forward, with electric vehicles set to play a central role in reshaping the energy landscape. We celebrate being the first companies to achieve certification to the UL 9741 and UL 1741-SA Standards for a fully bidirectional V2G-compliant EV charger. This achievement showcases our teams’ dedication and innovation, and we extend our gratitude to Fermata Energy for placing their trust in us. Together, we've transformed a vision into reality."

Fermata Energy and Heliox are poised to continue their momentum with a vision to normalize V2G technology, drive savings for fleet owners, and spearhead a greener energy future.
