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.

kWh Analytics Reveals Top 12 Industry Challenges in Solar Industry Risk Management

By: via Business Wire

2023 Solar Risk Assessment Report highlights the need for robust strategies to ensure solar asset resilience, especially in extreme weather conditions.

Realizing the full benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act will require dedicated efforts from stakeholders.

kWh Analytics, the market leader in Climate Insurance, today announced the release of its 5th annual Solar Risk Assessment, a comprehensive report designed to provide an objective and data-driven evaluation of solar risk. Report contributors included leaders in the solar energy industry, such as NREL, EnergySage, RETC, Envision Digital, BloombergNEF, Clean Power Research, Raptor Maps, PVEL, ICF, and Wood Mackenzie.

While the Inflation Reduction Act, a freeze of potential tariffs, and more robust supply chains have helped the market grow, more frequent weather events and a lack of skilled labor still present challenges as the solar industry grows to meet the decarbonization targets.

The 2023 report offers detailed research on top risks including extreme weather, financial modeling, and operational risks to help the industry organizations overcome market hurdles and expand lines of business. Top 12 risk issues include:

Extreme Weather Risk

  1. Proactive hail stow program can reduce property insurance premiums
  2. Modules made with tempered glass are approximately 2x as resilient to hail impacts as those with heat-strengthened glass
  3. Glass//glass modules are more than twice as likely to break compared to glass//backsheet modules



    Financial Modeling Risk

  4. Underestimation of modeling uncertainty means PV projects experience P99 scenarios once every 20 years
  5. 99% availability is achievable, but not typical
  6. Capital costs for DG solar will decline by 3% in 2023. Procurement lag and supply-chain delays keep utility-scale costs high
  7. US module prices to plummet below $0.30 per watt once tariff dust settles
  8. Uncertainty in degradation affects financial modeling results differently for ITC and PTC



    Operational Risk

  9. In desert climates inverter efficiency derating can result in up to 2% production loss beyond expectation
  10. Solar industry losing $2.5B annually from equipment underperformance
  11. High-resolution solar resource data reduces clipping loss errors by more than 90% versus hourly data for high DC:AC scenarios
  12. The biggest barrier to growth for solar companies? 44% of companies say a lack of trained labor

“Managing solar asset risk requires a concerted industry effort to ensure sustainable growth and investment,” said Jason Kaminsky, CEO at kWh Analytics. “It is in our collective interest to address the evolving risks identified in the report and to collaborate on solutions. By doing so, we can ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the solar industry.”
