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.

Niron Magnetics Secures Funding from Samsung Ventures, Allison Transmission and Magna to Accelerate Production of Rare Earth-Free Magnets

By: via Business Wire

Niron Magnetics, the company pioneering the world's first high-performance, rare earth-free permanent magnets, today announced it has received $25 million in new strategic funding. This round was led by Samsung Ventures, which has the investment mandate to closely track the strategic priorities of leading consumer electronics manufacturer Samsung and encompasses investments in consumer electronics, semiconductors, telecommunications, and more. Allison Ventures, the venture capital arm of Allison Transmission, leading designer and manufacturer of vehicle propulsion solutions, was also part of this funding round, along with one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers, Magna. This investment will strengthen Niron’s ability to expand its production facilities and scale manufacturing capacity for exclusive customer programs and initial sales of the Clean Earth Magnet.

Permanent magnets are essential components across various industries, including consumer electronics, transportation, and audio technology. As the demand for more sustainable and efficient alternatives to rare-earth materials increases, Niron's iron nitride-based Clean Earth Magnet offers an environmentally sustainable, globally manufacturable, and stable supply input solution. With improved temperature stability compared to other options currently available on the market, Niron's technology offers a more sustainable alternative for applications in automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.

In addition to Samsung Ventures, Allison Transmission, and Magna, current investors Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and University of Minnesota also participated in this round, providing additional funding. By joining Niron's impressive list of investors, which includes GM Ventures, Stellantis Ventures, Volvo Cars Tech Fund, and more, this diverse group of strategic partners demonstrate the potential of Niron's Clean Earth Magnet technology to revolutionize a broad range of industries.

"Samsung Ventures is committed to investing in companies that are driving innovation and sustainability in their respective industries," said Samsung Ventures. "Niron Magnetics' Clean Earth Magnet technology has the potential to revolutionize the consumer electronics and audio market by providing a high-performance, rare-earth-free alternative to traditional magnets."

“Allison Ventures was launched to drive innovations that will shape the future of commercial-duty mobility. We believe solutions like Niron’s Clean Earth Magnet are needed to address the global demand and supply risks of rare-earth elements needed for electric motors and other critical applications,” said Mike Foster, Executive Director and Chief Technology Officer, Allison Transmission.

“Magna invests in technologies for multiple reasons, including those that have the potential to enhance our competitive position, meet the needs and expectations of our customers, and, when relevant, align with our sustainability goals,” said Josh Berg, Managing Director, Technology Investments and Ventures at Magna. “Niron’s Clean Earth Magnet technology is an example of a solution we believe could be a building block for our future sustainable product innovations."

With this new funding, Niron will expand its pilot production facilities, enhancing its ability to serve diverse clientele and support customer prototyping programs. The company will also scale up manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand and accelerate research and development efforts to drive continuous improvement in performance and efficiency.

"We are thrilled that leading global companies like Samsung Ventures, Allison Transmission, and Magna recognize the potential of our Clean Earth Magnet to transform industries and create a more sustainable future," said Jonathan Rowntree, CEO of Niron Magnetics. "We look forward to collaborating closely with all of our investors and partners to work towards enabling a rare earth-free alternative in magnetics."
