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.

Access to charging remains an Achilles heel for electric vehicles

Access to charging remains an Achilles heel for electric vehicles

Electric vehicles (EV) now account for approximately 10% of new cars sold in the US, with some analysts estimating that this percentage may expand to a full third by 2027.

As more Americans drive EVs, and ride share companies increase the size of their EV fleets, access to charging stations has become a politically charged topic.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly bashed EV, and identifies charging time as a key problem for the vehicles.

“Who wants to drive an electric car for the rest of your life? Does anybody? You don’t want to drive for 45 minutes and then stop for three hours, is that what you want?” Trump said at a speech in Florida in July.

As the presidential race heated up, Trump’s campaign began to attack federal funding for charging stations.

Access to charging remains an Achilles heel for EVs. University of California, Davis researcher Alan Jenn published a new study in October on infrastructure for ridesharing companies Uber UBER and Lyft LYFT . One key finding was that: “The necessary ratio of chargers is approximately 10 times higher for EVs in Uber and Lyft compared to chargers for the general EV owning public” in California.

Jenn argues in a recent article that successful charging, rather than driving range, has become the largest issue facing EV drivers in the U.S. According to his analysis, a significant percentage of charging units in California are non-working at any given point. Perhapsmore significantly, those that do work often do not provide complete charges.

In total, Jenn estimates that a full 30% of EV charges attempted in California fail.

While Jenn sees the decision by Tesla TSLA to open its supercharger network to non-Tesla vehicles as a positive development as it expands access to fast chargers, he notes that this shift is proceeding slowly.

Milton cost may land on low end of projected range

Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm, with the Tampa Bay region and Sarasota County feeling the brunt of the impact. Millions were evacuated, while large regions remain without power and several deaths are reported.

In advance of the hurricane’s arrival, the National Weather Service issued the greatest number of tornado warnings for Florida ever. Although the damage was massive — particularly to densely populated low-lying neighborhoods that have experienced a building surge in recent years, initial reports suggest that damage remained within projected ranges. Bloomberg cited reports that total damages might be between $60 and $75 billion

In a note to investors, UBS — working with limited initial information, estimated that the total cost of the storm to insurers may be as low as $50 billion.
