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.

Posawatz is an EV innovator and operations expert, best known for leading the development and commercialization of the Chevy Volt (General Motors). In August 2012, he was appointed chief executive of California-based Fisker Automotive. Posawatz is a highly sought-after expert in the automotive industry and previously served on the board of Lucid Motors and several other new mobility and new energy companies.

Slutzky founded Fermata Energy in 2010 with two intentions: accelerate the adoption of EVs and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy by enabling EVs to act as mobile energy storage assets. The company was the first to achieve UL 9741 certification for bidirectional charging. Its customers can earn thousands of dollars per EV per year from local utility providers for selling excess energy stored in EV batteries to the grid or sending that energy to their building to offset costly peak demand charges. V2X services includes vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-building (V2B), and vehicle-to-home (V2H).

“Fermata Energy is a climate tech innovator that brought the first US automotive manufacturer-approved bidirectional charger to market. It continues to accelerate the growth of this market by making its AI-driven V2X software platform available to utilities and automotive and EV charger manufacturers. We’re speeding access to V2G services for companies across the entire value chain,” said Posawatz. “I’m excited to step into the role of CEO and am here to unleash the full potential of Fermata Energy.”

“I invited Tony to join our advisory board more than a decade ago because of his deep expertise in automotive operations and EV commercialization. It’s a bonus that his passion for EVs and how vehicle-to-grid services can positively change energy and mobility matches mine,” said Slutzky. “I’m an entrepreneur at heart and it’s been one of my goals to bring Fermata Energy from concept to this phase and then to move into a strategic advisor role. Tony knows Fermata Energy and is the right person to lead the company through the next phase of growth and positive impact.”

The Fermata Energy platform uses machine learning and AI to optimize thousands of rapidly changing data points and makes it simpler for both fleets and utilities to manage EVs as distributed energy resources. The company is currently integrating its software with multiple V2G-capable chargers to support installations for school districts and fleets with medium and heavy-duty EVs.

Fermata Energy works with leading organizations, including Nissan, Ford, rideshare leader Revel, Verizon, Department of Energy, the City of Boulder and utilities across the United States.

Fermata Energy is a Carlyle portfolio company.
