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.

porta Group and Allego to Roll Out Fast-Charging Stations Across Germany

  • Allego is installing up to 1,500 new public fast charging points for electric vehicles, with the first stations already in operation as of October 2022.
  • The agreement is for 123 sites in Germany, and are all expected to be operational by the end of 2024.
  • The project scope is the largest collaboration signed with Allego to date.

Allego N.V. (“Allego” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALLG), a leading European public electric vehicle fast and ultrafast charging network, and the porta Group, today announced the expansion of fast-charging facilities to be available at the porta Group furniture store locations throughout Germany.

Allego will install a total of 1,500 charging points at 123 porta Group locations all of which are expected to be operational by the end of 2024. The charging stations will be able to offer both fast (50 kW) and ultra-fast (150 kW) charging points. The first fast-charging stations are already operational at porta locations in Potsdam, Altenburg, and Markranstädt. Additionally, the porta Group headquarters has been equipped with semi-public ultra-fast charging stations, which are available for employees as well as for visiting electric vehicle (EV) drivers.

To meet future demand, the chargers are equipped to be upgraded to ultra-fast charging later. The charging stations are available to all visitors at porta locations as well as EV drivers who are passing through. All charging stations can be found through Allego’s Smoov app and third-party charging apps.

The management of the porta Group of companies is pleased about the cooperation, "For almost 60 years, we have had our finger on the pulse with our furniture stores. Expanding our locations to include state-of-the-art fast-charging options is therefore a logical step. We were looking for a partner who could pave the way for us into the future in terms of scalability and innovative knowledge and experience with companies like ours. After our first test run in Potsdam in 2021, we decided to continue on this path with Allego."

Allego’s Chief Executive Officer, Mathieu Bonnet, adds, "As an international operator of charging infrastructure, we offer a wide range of solutions that are geared to best meet the needs of EV users. We made a conscious decision to offer lower charging capacities and more charging points, as the dwell time in the furniture stores is usually longer. We are very pleased to be able to work with porta, a company that has built up an incredible network of furniture stores over the years and fits perfectly with our own claim to offer a reliable and broad-based network of charging solutions throughout Germany."
