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.

UL Solutions Launches New Testing to Help Performance and Sustainability of Data Centers Needed for AI

By: via Business Wire

UL Solutions’ new service helps address the needs of data centers by advancing the safety of immersion cooling fluids, which protect equipment from overheating and maximize power-usage effectiveness

UL Solutions Inc. (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, today announced its new testing and certification service for immersion cooling fluids for data centers, which contain critical equipment needed for artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies but are at risk for dangerous overheating.

UL Solutions announced its new testing and certification service for immersion cooling fluids for data centers, which contain critical equipment needed for artificial intelligence and other technologies but are at risk of dangerous overheating.

UL Solutions announced its new testing and certification service for immersion cooling fluids for data centers, which contain critical equipment needed for artificial intelligence and other technologies but are at risk of dangerous overheating.

Data centers are vital facilities that control and centralize an organization’s information technology (IT) operations and equipment. Data centers house critical proprietary assets and store, process and disseminate data that are essential for modern communications, commerce and vital applications. They consume large amounts of electricity and generate significant heat that could damage data or lead to a fire. Keeping these centers safe, secure and energy-efficient is a challenge facing organizations globally.

“As data centers face greater demands and power consumption increases, operators urgently need safe and energy-efficient cooling solutions to maximize power-usage effectiveness, performance and reliability,” said Sherry He, vice president and general manager of Consumer, Medical and Information Technologies at UL Solutions. “That’s why fluids are a critical element of data center performance and safety.”

“UL Solutions’ new engineering evaluation, testing and certification for immersion cooling fluids, combined with our programs for immersion tanks and immersion systems, support safer innovation in data centers, which are essential for applications such as AI and cryptocurrency,” said He.

Immersion cooling relies on specially designed liquids to efficiently dissipate heat from IT equipment, such as computers, known for generating high temperatures. The IT equipment is immersed in the liquid, which then carries the heat away, either by circulating naturally or by being pumped through a liquid cooling system. This method uses less energy than traditional air cooling and helps equipment run more efficiently and reliably.

To achieve certification, immersion cooling fluids must meet the requirements of UL 2417, the Outline of Investigation for Immersion Cooling Fluids for Use with Information and Communication Technology Equipment. This Outline describes requirements and tests for evaluating the performance of immersion cooling fluids intended for use with information and communication technology equipment, including autoignition temperature, flash point and dielectric breakdown voltage testing.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2024 Report on U.S. Data Center Energy Use produced by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centers consumed about 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023 and are expected to consume approximately 6.7% to 12% of total U.S. electricity by 2028. The report also stated that the total electricity usage of data centers rose from 58 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023, equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to power approximately 16.4 million homes for one year. Immersion cooling fluids are one of the innovations that data center operators are leveraging to address this critical and growing challenge.

UL Solutions’ new service for immersion cooling fluids is the latest step the company has taken to address safety in data centers. UL Solutions joined the Open Compute Project in May 2021, contributing to help accelerate the adoption of advanced immersion cooling systems by providing safety compliance approaches through this industry collaboration. UL Solutions also helps drive confidence and innovation in data centers with its engineering evaluation, testing and certification services per UL 2755, the Outline of Investigation for Modular Data Centers. And the UL Solutions Data Center Integrator Qualification program helps equip data center professionals with the knowledge and capability to address critical equipment-integration objectives, such as reducing downtime, streamlining installations and commissioning processes, and helping to mitigate delays and injuries.
