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.

MGE to Add More Solar and Battery Storage With Purchase of High Noon Solar Energy Center

Approval to purchase a share of the Columbia County project is the latest step toward achieving MGE's net-zero carbon electricity goal.

Madison Gas and Electric (MGE), in partnership with We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service (WPS), subsidiaries of WEC Energy Group, received approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to purchase solar capacity and battery storage from the High Noon Solar Energy Center. MGE will own 30 megawatts (MW) of solar and 16.5 MW of battery storage from the facility located in Columbia County.

"The High Noon Solar Energy Center builds on the progress we've already made reducing carbon emissions, increasing our use of cost-effective renewable energy and advancing new technologies to benefit all our customers," said Jeff Keebler, MGE Chairman, President and CEO. "By growing our use of cost-effective carbon-free generation to decarbonize our grid and by working with customers to advance energy efficiency and electrification, we can achieve our sustainable energy goals."

High Noon Solar Energy Center

The project will include a 300-MW solar array and 165-MW battery energy storage system. It is expected to generate enough carbon-free energy to power about 90,000 households. MGE's 10% share of the output will power about 9,000 households.

MGE will own 30 MW of solar and 16.5 MW of battery storage. We Energies and WPS will own the remaining 270 MW of solar and 148.5 MW of battery storage.

The High Noon Solar Energy Center is expected to start serving customers in 2027.

Working toward 80% reduced carbon emissions by 2030

Carbon is our target. MGE is working to decarbonize the electricity we supply to customers, targeting carbon reductions consistent with global climate science as quickly, responsibly and cost-effectively as we can. By 2030, on behalf of all customers, MGE expects to deliver electricity with 80% fewer carbon emissions, and by 2050, we expect to deliver net-zero carbon electricity. MGE already is halfway to its 2030 goal to reduce carbon emissions by 80% compared to 2005 levels.

Growing our use of cost-effective, cleaner energy and working with customers to advance energy efficiency and the electrification of transportation are all key strategies for deep decarbonization. Learn more about MGE's other solar projects.
