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.

GridMarket Platform Delivers Cost Savings and Carbon Reduction For Performance Food Group Through Solar PV and Battery Storage

NEW YORK, April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GridMarket, an industry leading clean energy platform, is pleased to announce that Performance Food Group (PFG) will install a 1.5MW solar PV / 500hw/1100kwh battery storage system at a California facility. The project was scoped and facilitated through GridMarket’s platform, which uses data and AI to automate technology and financial feasibility, and then engages the market through a competitive bidding process. PFG selected Enerlogics Networks, Inc. and partner MBL Energy, a team of top-tier national renewables developers, to install the system. This project is the first in a phased approach, with PFG planning to install distributed solutions at their California locations to support fleet electrification efforts and help meet sustainability targets.

“We approached this process knowing we wanted our onsite energy projects to align with our fleet initiatives, which includes carbon footprint reduction and increased operational sustainability,” said Jeff Williamson, SVP, Operations at Performance Food Group. “We’re happy to work together with GridMarket and Enerlogics to implement onsite solutions that enhance the economic viability of our fleet electrification projects.”

Performance Food Group is committed to distributed energy and electrification for their California portfolio and beyond. Onsite distributed generation will support ongoing fleet electrification, providing financial viability, increased operational sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

“The California energy market continues to be an opportunistic and urgent environment for industrial customers and fleet operators,” said Peter Schneider, Director of Sales and Project Management at GridMarket. “By applying our platform, we were able to help PFG take advantage of available programs, while ensuring current and future project alignment with their internal priorities. PFG has been an incredible partner and we commend their commitment to decarbonization and fleet electrification.”

Following detailed analysis and project scoping, GridMarket prepared and ran a competitive RFP through the platform and worked with PFG to down-select the top 3 finalists from a pool of qualified respondents. After comprehensive review, Enerlogics was selected to complete the project, offering PFG the greatest overall value and alignment with prioritized operational goals.

“We are thrilled to have been selected as Performance Food Group's chosen partner for this project,” said Scott Ameduri, President at Enerlogics. “The solar PV and battery storage installation at the Gilroy, California site will contribute to the company’s sustainability goals, providing cost savings and carbon reduction, while priming the facility for future fleet electrification plans. We are excited to continue working closely with GridMarket and Performance Food Group to complete this project and showcase the value of the Enerlogics’ cost-effective distributed energy solutions for C&I customers delivered in conjunction with strategic partners such as MBL Energy.”

The project is anticipated to produce 2,354,000kw annually, with a carbon offset of 97.93% and a payback period of under six years. PFG has elected to purchase the system, maximizing the operational value and sustainability benefits for the property.

This project is the first of a planned rollout across PFG’s California properties. PFG and GridMarket created a renewable strategy that aligned with plans for the fleet and maximized value through a phased, portfolio-based approach. The next 3 locations have been identified based on opportunity and are advancing through GridMarket’s pre-development process, with GridMarket bringing optimized solutions and best-fit partners to the PFG portfolio.

“When organizations look at their portfolio as a whole, rather than each site individually, they are able to maximize value and reach energy targets in a comprehensive, cohesive manner,” Schneider continued. “We are excited to continue our work with PFG after the proofpoint from this initial project, expanding solutions to other California facilities.”

The project is one of a number of commercial and industrial projects orchestrated through the GridMarket platform over the last quarter. To learn more about GridMarket’s portfolio of projects, please click here.
