About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Tigo Energy Resolves Multi-Year Patent Infringement Litigation With SMA

Settlement validates Tigo Intellectual Property, concludes IP litigation with SMA, and reinforces innovation in the marketplace.

Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO) (“Tigo” or “Company”), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced that it has reached a multi-year settlement with SMA (SMA Solar Technology AG and SMA Solar Technology America LLC) over litigation regarding the infringement of Tigo intellectual property by SMA. The settlement concludes the infringement complaint brought by Tigo on July 11, 2022, Case No. 1:22-cv-00915 (D. Del.) alleging infringement of certain patents by SMA. Terms of the settlement will remain undisclosed.

According to National Electric Code § 690.12, “Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings” requires that PV system circuits “installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function to reduce shock hazard for emergency responders.” Tigo rapid shutdown technology is compliant with UL 1741, the Standard for Safety for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources, and rapid shutdown requirements of the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC). Tigo is a leader in rapid shutdown technology and MLPE, with more than 150 patents granted or pending. The Company actively licenses its patents to other solar equipment providers and has repeatedly prevailed in patent disputes.

“The ability of companies that invest in research and development to protect and defend their intellectual property is central to the spirit of innovation that makes companies competitive,” said Zvi Alon, CEO at Tigo Energy. “This settlement is a welcome step that reinforces the validity of Tigo intellectual property that underpins our world-class technology.”

Since 2007, solar installers have deployed millions of Tigo MLPE devices in more than one hundred countries on all seven continents, of which Tigo Energy Intelligence monitors an average of 2.3GWh daily solar production. Tigo MLPE products provide optimization, monitoring, and rapid shutdown to help protect critical solar energy infrastructure and deliver reliability and consistent ROI.
