About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

China’s Solar Dominance Raises Global Concerns – What It Means for the US, UK, and Beyond

By: Get News
Experts urge the US and UK to reduce reliance on Chinese solar imports by investing in local manufacturing and resilient energy infrastructure.

Manchester, UK - Growing reliance on Chinese-manufactured solar technology is raising alarm among energy experts and industry leaders across the West. At a recent tech and energy summit in Austin, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reportedly described China’s lead in solar energy as a “wake-up call” for the United States to accelerate domestic innovation and reduce foreign dependence.

Industry observers note that China currently dominates not only solar panel manufacturing but also deployment, innovation, and control over critical supply chains. The U.S., despite support from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), still imports a significant share of its solar components from Asia posing both strategic and economic risks.

UK and EU Face Parallel Challenges

The UK and the EU are in a similar position. Recent solar adoption has grown rapidly in response to energy price volatility and climate commitments, but the hardware still overwhelmingly comes from China.

“While Europe emphasizes energy independence in policy discussions, current supply chain data tells a different story,” said Kian Milroy, Co-Founder of UK-based solar advisory platform SolarAdvice.co.uk. “In the UK, for example, residential solar installations have nearly doubled in the past two years, but over 90% of the equipment is imported from China. Demand is strong, but control remains limited.”

According to internal data from SolarAdvice, much of the UK’s solar adoption is driven by homeowners frustrated with high utility bills and grid unreliability. But as in the U.S., questions remain about how localized the clean energy sector can become.

A Cross-Atlantic Wake-Up Call

The shared issue is clear: both the U.S. and UK are advancing climate targets using technology they don’t manufacture. Experts stress the need for local investment, simplified regulations, and supply chain security.

“As the solar sector goes global, it’s not just a race for clean power – it’s a race for sovereignty,” Milroy adds. “Countries that invest in their own full-stack capabilities from silicon to storage will be the ones that lead.”
