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.

Leap Surpasses 175,000 Meters and 1 GW on Virtual Power Plant Platform

Company sees tremendous growth fueled by partnerships with leading energy technology companies

Leap, the leading virtual power plant (VPP) platform, announced today it has surpassed 175,000 customer meters and 1 GW of customer load authorized on its platform, representing energy resources from over 75 technology partner companies. Following Leap’s latest capital raises totalling $16M, these new milestones reflect the continued advancement of Leap’s software platform as well as the company’s rapid expansion across California, Texas, New York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Leading energy technology companies such as SolarEdge, Generac, EnergyHub, Sunrun and Nuvve partner with Leap to aggregate and monetize their energy assets as virtual power plants (VPPs). Through Leap’s software-only solution, companies can quickly connect distributed energy resources (DERs), such as battery storage systems, electric vehicles, smart thermostats and building management systems, to multiple energy markets in order to earn revenue in demand response and other grid services programs.

“Industry leaders choose Leap because we offer the fastest, easiest pathway to stand up VPPs across multiple markets,” said Thomas Folker, Leap CEO and Co-Founder. “The U.S. Department of Energy’s recent Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Virtual Power Plants report calls for tripling the scale of VPP deployment by 2030. Thanks to Leap’s best-in-class technology, deep expertise in energy markets and partnerships with major technology brands, we are well-positioned to significantly advance that goal.”

Leap’s automated, technology-agnostic platform offers turnkey market access for both residential and commercial energy resources. Since launching in 2017, Leap has continued to build new product features to facilitate the fastest path to creating new value from DERs, such as Leap Connect, an app that reduces the complexity of customer meter authorizations by streamlining the process into a few simple clicks.

“SolarEdge’s grid-interactive technologies increase customer profit from surplus solar. This higher customer savings is driving strong demand for our home batteries and EV chargers, while cutting harmful pollution and emissions,” said Amir Cohen at SolarEdge. “Our Leap partnership boosts savings for solar system owners and furthers SolarEdge’s leadership in the smart energy transformation.”
