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.

WattCycle Powers Innovation - Partnership with Award-Winning Solar Backpack Project Receives Tennessee State Recognition
WattCycle's Advanced Lithium Battery Technology Enables Life-Saving Solar Backpacks to Reach Global Communities in Crisis

TENNESSEE - May 21, 2025 - WattCycle, a leading provider of advanced lithium battery solutions, is proud to announce the remarkable success of its partnership with Ivy Academy's Solar Backpack Project, which has earned the prestigious 2024 Charter Champion Award for Community Impact Project of the Year. The project received official recognition from Tennessee State Senator Bo Watson, who presented Ivy Academy with a Tennessee State Resolution honoring their humanitarian achievements.

WattCycle

As the primary sponsor of this groundbreaking initiative, WattCycle provided the essential lithium battery technology that powers these life-saving devices. The company's 12V 100Ah Mini LiFePO4 Battery with Bluetooth technology serves as the core power source for the most effective backpack design, enabling reliable energy storage and delivery in the world's most challenging environments.

WattCycle

Revolutionary Design with Real-World Impact

The Solar Backpack Project was born from urgent humanitarian needs, initially designed to address power shortages in war-torn Ukraine where students required charged devices to maintain contact with families while sheltering from conflict. What began as a response to the crisis has evolved into a global humanitarian solution, with backpacks now deployed across multiple continents.

Ivy Academy's Next Generation Sustainable Living (NGSL) students, under the guidance of STEM teacher Jerry Webb, designed and built these innovative devices from the ground up. Each backpack features foldable solar panels, a charge controller, inverter, and WattCycle's advanced solar backpack battery, creating a portable power station capable of charging phones, laptops, and operating small ventilation fans in emergency situations.

"WattCycle's batteries were the perfect match for this project," said Jerry Webb, STEM teacher at Ivy Academy. "Their high energy density, reliability, and ability to perform in extreme conditions made our vision possible. These aren't just products – they're lifelines for communities in crisis."

Global Humanitarian Reach

The project's impact extends far beyond its Tennessee origins. Solar backpacks are currently serving communities in:

- Ukraine: Supporting students and educators in conflict zones while providing hands-on training for technical education

- North Carolina and East Tennessee: Delivering emergency power to storm-hit areas experiencing extended outages

- Africa: Powering medical equipment for Doctors Without Borders missions in remote areas without electricity

WattCycle's 12V 100Ah Mini LiFePO4 Batteries with Bluetooth technology provide several critical advantages for these applications. The batteries offer exceptional energy density in a compact, lightweight package – essential for portable emergency devices. Their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and deliver consistent power over thousands of charge cycles ensures reliability when communities need it most.

State Recognition and Educational Excellence

Tennessee State Senator Bo Watson's presentation of the official state resolution highlights the project's significance beyond technological innovation. The recognition acknowledges not only the humanitarian impact but also the educational value of hands-on STEM learning that empowers students to solve real-world problems.

"This partnership represents everything we stand for at WattCycle," said Chief Engineer Steve. "We're not just providing batteries; we're empowering the next generation of innovators to create sustainable solutions for global challenges. Seeing these students turn their classroom learning into life-saving technology is genuinely inspiring."

Building a Sustainable Future

The Solar Backpack Project exemplifies how collaboration between industry and education can drive meaningful change. WattCycle's commitment to supporting student-led initiatives aligns with the company's mission to advance sustainable energy solutions while fostering innovation in the next generation of engineers and problem-solvers.

As the project continues to expand its global reach, WattCycle remains committed to supporting Ivy Academy's mission, providing the advanced battery technology that transforms innovative ideas into life-changing reality.
