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.

The Mobility House Energizes V2G Charging System for Fremont Unified School District’s Electric School Bus Fleet

Energy discharged from the buses’ batteries will now be available to support electric grid resilience

District and school administrators hosted a ceremony on August 7th to celebrate the successful implementation of their new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging system at the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Transportation Yard. The event was co-presented by The Mobility House, and included project partners World Resources Institute, Center for Transportation and the Environment, and Polara.

“Electric school buses, with their large batteries and predictable schedules, have tremendous potential to support the electric grid with V2G,” said Gregor Hintler, CEO North America of The Mobility House. “We are proud to provide the technology that enables the district to drive clean and support community energy resilience.”

The commissioning represented phase one of a two-phase project which will include six bidirectional chargers, enabled for V2G participation in demand response with Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP) by The Mobility House’s ChargePilot® charge management system for fleets and utility-facing market aggregation platform.

“This project is a shining example of how innovation creates a cleaner, smarter energy future,” said Mike Delaney, Vice President, Utility Partnership and Innovation, PG&E. “We’re proud to support Fremont USD and school districts across California as they convert to better, electrified student transportation.”

Here’s how it works:

  • ChargePilot manages daily smart charging of the buses, controlled and monitored by the fleet operator in an intuitive online dashboard.
  • The market aggregation platform receives notifications from PG&E of an upcoming load reduction event via OpenADR, and suggests optimal charging schedules based on the event and time-of-use electricity prices.
  • ChargePilot adjusts charging optimization for the bus fleet to discharge power to reduce site load during the emergency event, while continuing to ensure vehicle readiness for departure on their next route.
  • By participating in ELRP, the fleet can greatly offset charging costs, making operations more efficient and cost-effective.

The Mobility House continuously develops its technical capabilities and programs to coordinate with utility programs for fleet vehicle-grid-integration and V2G in California and beyond, including demand response programs and dynamic rates available in other states including Massachusetts and New York.

“We’ve already seen how the electric buses can contribute to cleaner air for our community,” said Ernest Epley, FUSD’s Director of Transportation. “Now, we have the opportunity to use these buses to deliver clean and reliable energy too.”

The V2G infrastructure project was funded by a grant from the California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program.
