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.

Gridmatic Closes $50 Million Energy Storage Fund, Underscoring Importance of AI to Optimizing Batteries

Gridmatic will operate battery systems using its AI forecasting, which can boost revenue generation for grid-tied storage systems by as high as 46%

Gridmatic, the industry-leading AI-enabled power marketer, today announces the second closing of its first energy storage fund, bringing capital commitments to $50 million. The fund is earmarked to oversee the management of up to 500 MW of battery capacity in the ERCOT and CAISO markets.

CAISO and ERCOT, which respectively manage California’s and Texas’ grids, remain the two strongest markets for energy storage with pipelines of 43.7 GW and 32 GW in planned project capacity. Gridmatic has begun operating a 50MW / 100MWh battery storage system in Texas using the fund, which was successfully completed through participation from leading energy investors.

Gridmatic establishes multi-year offtake contracts to operate energy storage systems using its AI algorithms, ensuring steady revenue streams for projects. This enables developers to obtain the necessary financing for projects and recycle their capital into the development of additional storage systems. By decoupling active management of the batteries from project development, Gridmatic’s fund derisks the operational phase of a project for storage owners and supports the growth of the energy storage industry.

Gridmatic’s AI-enabled optimization can boost revenue generation for grid-tied storage systems by as high as 46%, according to backtesting on battery systems in ERCOT in 2022.

“Gridmatic’s energy storage fund presents a unique opportunity for investors to help drive battery growth and capitalize on energy market volatility,” said Erin Kogan, Chief Financial Officer of Gridmatic. “The need to grow the grid’s reserve of AI-optimized energy storage, bolstered by our strong early returns in the initial months of operation, drove strong interest from leading energy investors in our fund.”

“Successfully closing our energy storage fund now allows us to accelerate our growth in signing offtake agreements with asset owners and developers,” said David Miller, Vice President of Business Development for Gridmatic. “This summer showed us the major potential for battery storage in California and Texas to contribute to grid resiliency efforts. Our fund will help maximize these opportunities for batteries to play a greater role in the grid and for the market to grow.”
