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.

Leap Grows Energy Storage Vertical with New and Expanded Partnerships

Storage technology innovators launch and scale their virtual power plant solutions with Leap

Leap, the leading virtual power plant (VPP) platform, today announced significant growth in its energy storage vertical through new partnerships with Channing St. Copper, Elexity and FranklinWH, alongside expanded partnerships with sonnen and Energy Toolbase. Leap unlocks new grid program revenue streams for energy storage technology, system and service providers by aggregating and deploying their customers' residential and commercial storage assets to support the grid as VPPs.

Battery storage is a critical technology for VPPs, offering high dispatchability, precise control and flexibility that makes it well-suited for a range of grid services applications. Through Leap’s platform, battery technology providers can stack new grid program revenue with other storage value streams, driving greater bill savings for their customers without compromising core backup power functionality.

New partners launching with the Leap platform include:

  • Channing St. Copper: Manufacturer of the world's first energy storage-equipped induction electric range, pioneering a new use case for residential distributed storage in VPPs.
  • Elexity: Innovative new Building Energy Management System (BEMS) that includes predictive optimization of HVAC, battery, EVs and solar assets to minimize energy costs and maximize revenue from VPP participation.
  • FranklinWH: Leading provider of whole-home energy management systems integrating solar, battery, grid and generator power sources.

Leap is also building on success with existing strategic partners to expand their Leap-powered VPP programming:

  • sonnen: Global leader in intelligent battery solutions and proven virtual power plant technology, continues to expand its sonnenConnect program in California and new markets with the Leap platform.
  • Energy Toolbase: Leading energy storage modeling and energy management software platform, has introduced a feature that embeds Leap’s grid services value into its value modeling platform in multiple markets.

“There’s an increasingly diverse ecosystem of technology companies orchestrating different parts of the battery storage system value chain,” said Jason Michaels, Chief Revenue Officer. “Through Leap’s partner-centric model, we’ve been able to tap into that diverse ecosystem to integrate new VPP revenue into the value chain for both residential and commercial battery companies.”

Maximizing the value of battery storage systems is becoming increasingly important in markets like California due to changes in the value of solar credits. Leap-powered VPP revenue streams can help technology providers enhance the value proposition of their solar+storage offerings.

“The partnership with Leap marks a pivotal step toward a more resilient and independent energy future for California homeowners,” said Vincent Ambrose, Chief Customer Officer at FranklinWH. “By participating in VPPs, homeowners can boost their energy independence, lower their energy costs and actively contribute to the transition to clean energy. This creates a win-win scenario for both individual households and the broader community.”
