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.

Boyd Opens State of the Art Battery Material Test Lab to Safely Accelerate Battery Design and New Product Introduction

New Advanced Battery Material Validation and Testing Lab Enables Faster Thermal Runaway Prevention Design Cycles and Shorter Time-to-Market

Boyd, a leader in battery thermal propagation prevention and thermal runaway containment technology, announced the grand opening of its cutting-edge battery material test laboratory in San Jose, California. Equipped with comprehensive modern test equipment, onsite material samples, and highly skilled personnel, Boyd’s Battery Material Safety Lab is dedicated to delivering fast, accurate, comprehensive, and reliable battery material testing for customers.

The Boyd Battery Material Safety Lab evaluates material performance based on electric vehicle (EV) customer battery safety requirements and specifications. Boyd’s testing technology was designed and implemented to meet the world’s leading battery company and EV OEM requirements. All essential battery material tests are consolidated into one laboratory for more efficient material validation including hot side/cold side, torch and grit, thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, compression force deflection, and dielectric results. Boyd’s EV battery material tests are structured to simulate highly varying and harsh real-world environmental conditions and safety challenges. Boyd’s structured approach to testing provides a repeatable test process for current thermal solutions.

In addition to testing, Boyd offers extensive simulation capability. Boyd experts leverage proprietary finite element analysis modeling software to predict the performance of different material combinations that meet customer specifications for battery thermal runaway prevention and containment as well as costs. Fast and accurate data empowers EV brands to make quicker, more confident battery material decisions. Combined with in-house prototyping and manufacturing capabilities, Boyd ramps seamlessly from test to production, accelerating time-to-market and reducing R&D and validation testing costs for its customers.

“We are excited to unveil our new state-of-the-art Battery Material Safety Lab,” remarks Michael Sutsko, Engineered Materials Division President at Boyd. “Battery material validation is critical to EV safety and has traditionally been difficult to complete. We are helping our customers accelerate battery design and time-to-market cycles as a one-stop-shop to design, validate, and manufacture integrated thermal runaway prevention technologies.”
