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.

The commercial rooftop projects are currently under construction and expected to energize in 2024 and 2025. They will create nearly 43 megawatts (DC) of solar capacity for the surrounding communities, enough power to serve the equivalent of over 3,600 homes.

Approximately half of the portfolio is designed to reduce energy costs for low- and moderate-income (LMI) households. In total, Solar Landscape estimates that the projects will save subscribers about $1 million annually on energy bills.

“Our investment in this community solar portfolio is aligned with our purpose to help people save money and live better,” said Frank Palladino, Vice President, Renewable Energy Strategy for Walmart. “Once operational, these projects will enhance grid infrastructure in dozens of communities in Maryland and Illinois, while expanding access to affordable clean energy and helping thousands of households save money on energy bills.”

By placing community solar projects on commercial rooftops in densely populated areas, known as load pockets, where it can be difficult to generate new power using traditional means, the portfolio will add significant value to the electrical grid. This reduces the need for additional transmission, furthers equity in the clean energy transition, and accelerates development.

“Walmart’s investment into this community solar portfolio is an important first step in our relationship together and a catalyst for our mission to make solar more accessible and affordable across the country,” said Clayton Avent, CFO of Solar Landscape. “Developing community solar projects on commercial rooftops is the quickest and most efficient way to bring electricity savings to communities. We look forward to increasing access to solar and creating savings for residents surrounding the projects in this portfolio.”

Solar Landscape and Walmart plan to explore follow-on investments and opportunities to achieve shared goals in the domestic community solar space.

Once complete, the 43 MW (DC) portfolio will help avoid the emissions of nearly 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually, equal to almost 40 million pounds of coal burned, according to the EPA.

The investment will also help create new local jobs. Solar Landscape estimates that the construction of 43 MW of commercial rooftop capacity requires approximately 342,000 person-hours of installation time, equivalent to more than 170 full-time jobs if done in a single year.
