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.

Full Integration Boosts Intelligent and Flexible Energy Management for RV and Marine Applications

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Victron Energy is renowned for delivering highly reliable off-grid energy solutions. With over one million active users on its VictronConnect app, the company has earned strong industry recognition for advanced user monitoring and remote energy management capabilities.

LiTime is a premium brand specializing in lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery technology, backed by 16 years of innovation, technical expertise, and a global customer support network. The company is dedicated to advancing intelligent, safe, and flexible energy storage solutions. Its ComFlex series is the first to feature LiTime T5.0 external communication technology, offering robust system compatibility and exceptional openness for seamless integration.

As technical leaders in their respective fields, the successful integration of LiTime batteries with Victron Energy systems highlights both companies’ excellence in intelligent communication and system interoperability—delivering an intelligent and flexible energy management solution for RV and marine users worldwide.

Moving forward, LiTime will continue to enhance compatibility with more mainstream platforms to meet the diverse needs of users across a wide range of application scenarios.

Addressing Industry Pain Points: Breakthrough Connectivity Expands User Choice

For years, RV and marine users have faced a difficult trade-off when selecting batteries to integrate with third-party energy management systems and build a complete energy control solution:

  • Option 1: Purchase high-priced batteries to gain intelligent energy management.

  • Option 2: Choose lower-cost alternatives that lack cell-level monitoring and real-time, battery-driven charge optimization, often requiring extra wiring and manual parameter setup.

The market is calling for an intelligent yet affordable solution that empowers more users to enjoy intelligent, efficient, and seamless energy management.

The LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery breaks this long-standing deadlock. As the first battery among similarly priced connected solutions to achieve deep communication compatibility with Victron energy management systems, it delivers cell-level monitoring and intelligent, real-time charge optimization without extra accessories or complex setup—just plug and play. Compared to high-priced alternatives offering similar intelligent connectivity, this solution is expected to significantly reduce overall system integration costs, delivering an intelligent and more affordable energy management choice for RV and marine users worldwide.

User-Driven Value Delivered Through Seamless Integration with Victron Energy Systems

  • Intelligent Energy Management: The LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery supports up to 16 units in parallel and provides real-time reporting of critical data—including charge current limits, discharge current limits, charge voltage limits, and individual cell status—to the Victron system. This data, reported by the battery system, enables the system to dynamically optimize charge strategies, ensuring safe and stable operation while extending battery life and improving overall energy efficiency.

  • Visualized Energy Status: Once integrated with Victron systems, the battery allows users to monitor real-time data—such as state of charge and battery health—via Victron displays, mobile apps, the Victron Remote Management (VRM) system, and RV-C or NMEA2000-compatible vehicle or marine control panels. With all key energy metrics visible on a single screen, users gain full situational awareness. The system also supports intelligent alerts for voltage, current, and temperature anomalies to avoid unexpected power shortages during the journey.

  • Plug-and-Play Installation Convenience: Featuring a built-in smart BMS and a native CAN communication interface, the LiTime battery connects directly to Victron GX communication series devices—eliminating the need for additional BMS or SmartShunt, simplifying wiring, and making installation easier than ever.

  • Remote OTA Upgrades & Open Connectivity: The battery supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, allowing users to receive the latest features and performance optimizations online without returning the unit for service. OTA updates also enable continuous expansion of compatibility with additional third-party energy management systems via RS485 and CAN communication protocols, ensuring an open and easily upgradable power solution.

  • Cost-Effective: With its native communication capability, the LiTime 12V 100Ah Smart ComFlex Battery seamlessly connects to Victron’s energy management framework, delivering premium-level functionality—comprehensive monitoring, intelligent energy management, and automated system configuration—at lower total cost.

“We provide intelligent, affordable, and flexible energy solutions to power every adventure our users take,” said a LiTime specialist.
