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.

Gridmatic Launches AI Load Optimizer to Help Large Energy Users Capture More Value from ERCOT Markets

By: via Business Wire

Gridmatic collaborates with Vega Energy Advisors to bring AI-powered market participation to flexible load customers; Data Factory among the first to adopt the platform for its bitcoin mining operations

Gridmatic, a leading AI-enabled power marketer, today announced the launch of the Gridmatic AI Load Optimizer, giving large energy consumers access to industry-leading forecasting and automation to strategically manage their energy use.

For large energy consumers, energy costs can be one of the biggest components of overhead and can determine profitability. By applying advanced AI to energy market participation, Gridmatic enables customers to turn operational flexibility into a powerful lever for cost control and competitive advantage in today’s increasingly volatile grid environment. Gridmatic’s AI Load Optimizer enables large consumers to reduce energy costs by greater than 5%.

The platform is launching in collaboration with Vega Energy Advisors, a versatile energy consultancy specializing in the bitcoin mining sector. Vega offers a full spectrum of services tailored to flexible load customers, including not only retail energy strategy but also 4CP management, demand response program design, and operational optimization. Their deep expertise across market-facing and operational domains positions them as a key partner for businesses seeking to extract more value from the ERCOT market.

Among the first to adopt the solution is Data Factory, a high-efficiency bitcoin mining and data center operator based in Texas.

“Working with Gridmatic has allowed us to unlock new value from our operations with almost zero lift from our team,” said Guillaume Goualard, COO and Co-Founder of Data Factory. “The AI Load Optimizer unlocks hidden value by monetizing flexibility that would otherwise go untapped.”

“Monetizing the Day-Ahead vs. Real-Time energy spread is a game-changer for us,” said Scooter Womack, Founder and Managing Partner of Vega Energy Advisors. “It enables us to provide a differentiated offering to our customers beyond standard energy contracts. Everyone wins.”

At the core of the Load Optimizer is Gridmatic’s proprietary forecasting engine, ERCOT’s top performer for day-ahead price accuracy. For the first time, customers with flexible loads can intelligently and automatically participate in ERCOT market opportunities, including Day-Ahead Market (DAM) trading and Emergency Response Service (ERS), as well as other emerging grid programs. Gridmatic’s platform is built to adapt alongside evolving market structures as part of a broader strategy to maximize value from load flexibility.

“We designed the AI Load Optimizer to be a one-stop solution for large energy users with flexible loads,” said Jackson Vo, President Retail at Gridmatic. “Together, these programs offer a comprehensive strategy for managing energy costs and capturing new sources of value with minimal operational effort. Customers don’t need to change their operations; just define their parameters and we take care of the rest.”

Gridmatic manages the full process: forecasting, bid submission, settlement, compliance, and reporting, requiring minimal inputs from the customer. Revenue share models are flexible and can include options with no downside exposure.

Gridmatic’s Load Optimizer is available now to retail customers in ERCOT and supports automated participation in Day-Ahead Market (DAM) trading, which captures upside from price volatility without physical curtailment; Emergency Response Service (ERS), which offers compensation for availability during grid emergencies; and additional grid services as they become available.
