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.

Cabling Installation & Maintenance is published by Endeavor Business Media, a division of EndeavorB2B.

U.S. Electric Power Industry Seminar | Explore Renewable Energy, ISO Markets, and Power Transactions (Houston, United States - Oct 14th - Oct 15th, 2025) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

By: via Business Wire

The "Today's U.S. Electric Power Industry, Renewable Energy, ISO Markets, and Power Transactions (Houston, United States - Oct 14th - Oct 15th, 2025)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

If you want to better understand the U.S. electric power industry and learn the different ways power is bought and sold, this in-depth seminar is for you.

This program provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the structure, function, and current status of today's U. S. electric power industry; the many industry topics listed below; the challenges and opportunities associated with developing new power lines, solar, wind, battery, and other renewable energy projects; how ISO day-ahead energy auctions, CRRs, and FTRs work, and detailed examples of how physical and financial (virtual) power transactions, power purchase agreements (PPAs), tolling, and heat rate deals are done.

Each part of this complex industry will be explained piece-by-piece, and then the pieces will be integrated so that you will leave the seminar with an understanding of "how it all fits together."

Who Should Attend:

Among those who will benefit from this seminar include energy and electric power executives; attorneys; government regulators; traders & trading support staff; marketing, sales, purchasing & risk management personnel; accountants & auditors; plant operators; engineers; and corporate planners. Types of companies that typically attend this program include energy producers and marketers; utilities; banks & financial houses; industrial companies; accounting, consulting & law firms; municipal utilities; government regulators and electric generators.

What You Will Learn

  • The properties and terminology of electricity - current, power, var, voltage, etc (pre-seminar reading material)
  • The electric service system, and how it works
  • The structure and function of the North American power grids.
  • How control areas and balancing authorities function to "keep the lights on."
  • The pros, cons, and levelized costs of different types of electric generation
  • Fundamentals of utility cost-of-service regulation, open access markets
  • Why utilities sometimes resist renewable energy, distributed energy resource (DER"), rooftop solar, and conservation projects.
  • The various industry participants are and what their roles are.
  • Federal vs state regulatory conflicts, and why restructuring today's power industry and the building new power lines is such a complicated task.
  • The difference between regulated and merchant high voltage power lines, and what FERC market-based transmission rates are.
  • The structure and functions of ISOs, RTOs, the Western Energy Imbalance Market ("WEIM"), and the new Southeast Energy Exchange Market ("SEEM").
  • How ISO day-ahead energy auctions work, and how they add value to the power industry
  • What locational marginal pricing (LMP) is, and why LMP is used
  • What demand response ("DR"), distributed energy resources ("DER"), and battery energy storage systems ("BESS") are, and how these resources can be aggregated to form virtual power plants.
  • The challenges and opportunities facing wind energy, solar, batteries, demand response, and DER and other renewables.
  • Why understanding generation reserve margin, forward capacity markets, capacity payments, resource adequacy, and California's "FRACMOO" is important.
  • A summary of today's key industry issues and where the U. S. electric power industry is headed, including a discussion of the interconnection queues, renewable energy, and the building of new transmission lines.
