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.

Alpha Omega Power Purchases 100MW CAISO Battery Storage System

Alpha Omega Power partners with Gridmatic to optimize system performance to maximize clean energy and grid reliability

Alpha Omega Power (AOP), a utility-scale renewable energy developer, owner, and operator, announced it has acquired and raised financing for the Caballero battery energy storage project, a 100MW / 400MWh battery in Nipomo, California, in partnership with Fengate Asset Management. The Caballero project will provide enough energy to power over 100,000 homes for up to four hours daily during peak electricity demand periods, bringing clean energy and grid reliability to San Luis Obispo County and the California ISO (CAISO) market. The Caballero system will be the first project in AOP’s pipeline of utility-scale battery storage projects to come online.

AOP has brought on Gridmatic, an industry-leading power marketer, as the battery optimizer for Caballero. Gridmatic’s AI optimizes battery operations and manages risk for storage owners through resource trading and risk management; ISO market settlement; and asset performance and market update reports. Gridmatic’s AI-enabled optimization can boost revenue generation for grid-tied battery systems by as high as 32%, according to backtesting in the company’s latest energy storage report, published in May, 2024. The Caballero project contributes to Gridmatic’s contracted portfolio of 300 MW of energy storage capacity under management.

“We’re proud to establish our footprint in CAISO with our inaugural utility-scale battery storage project to serve reliable, clean energy to California’s coastal communities,” said Paul Choi, CEO of Alpha Omega Power. “We’re thrilled to find a partner in Gridmatic with the depth of energy and software experience to leverage batteries, market expertise, and Artificial Intelligence to smooth the volatility of renewable resources and better match load to generation.”

“Many of California’s electricity market rules were designed before energy storage was considered as a reliability resource. As a result, it is a challenge for battery owners to achieve the financial results necessary to sustain further investment in the state’s rapidly growing fleet of batteries,” said David Miller, Chief Commercial Officer of Gridmatic. “Our industry-leading forecasting and optimization algorithms can maximize the benefits of battery storage assets while minimizing risk of loss, delivering reliability to the California grid while helping make more assets bankable for owners. We’re excited to put these capabilities to use in supporting Alpha Omega Power as it works to build California’s clean energy future.”
