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.

As the urgency for U.S. energy security grows, the limitations of current energy sources are becoming increasingly evident. Cost-effective, safe LDES solutions are essential for grid-scale energy resilience, but existing battery technologies are expensive, geographically limited, or hindered by safety concerns and dependence on toxic and rare materials.

XL Batteries' groundbreaking Organic Flow Battery technology is the first solution to effectively address these critical barriers. By combining a patented organic electrolyte molecule with proven flow battery architecture, XL Batteries’ solution is flexible and scalable to serve the complex needs of utilities, IPPs, and industrial users. The partnership with Stolthaven Terminals demonstrates the efficiency, duration, safety, reliability, and low-cost profile of the Organic Flow Battery technology in real-world conditions, providing valuable data for future commercial deployments.

“This commissioning of our safe, low-cost, and reliable grid-scale battery represents a pivotal milestone – not only for our company but for the entire industry,” said Tom Sisto, CEO and co-founder of XL Batteries. “We're proud to demonstrate a scalable LDES solution that will support Stolthaven Terminal’s operational efforts for the next 20 years while advancing American energy resilience.”

For Stolthaven Terminals, this project – which is based at its facility in Houston – is expected to generate financial and operational benefits, including the potential to provide energy storage near its facilities and shore power to ships calling at its terminals in the future.

Guy Bessant, President of Stolthaven Terminals, said: "The installation of the first-ever industrial scale Organic Flow Battery™ at our Houston terminal is an exciting milestone in our sustainability journey and that of our industry. Long-term energy storage solutions are critical for the global energy transition. XL Batteries shares our vision to use innovation, knowledge sharing and collaboration to develop energy solutions for the future, and this is a true success story of how strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technology can future-proof industrial operations. We are pleased to partner with XL Batteries on this innovative project."

The successful commissioning of this project provides XL Batteries with real-world data to inform the final design decisions needed to scale its commercial product – giving the company a low-cost, direct path to large-scale commercial viability.
