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.

Boston Consulting Group Affirms Merits of Demand-Led Energy Transition, Validates Voltus’s Effectiveness in Activating Demand-Side Energy Resources

BOSTON, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voltus, Inc. (Voltus), the leading distributed energy resource (DER) software platform and virtual power plant (VPP) operator, is pleased to share that Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has recognized the pivotal role Voltus is playing in facilitating a demand-led energy transition by connecting over 7 GW of demand-side resources to energy markets and utility programs across the U.S. and Canada.

“There’s certainly a time and a place for ‘supply-side’ interventions toward decarbonization,” said BCG Managing Director and Senior Partner, Maurice Berns, who co-authored the report as Chair of BCG’s Center for Energy Impact (CEI). “But Voltus and other companies we’ve studied are showing that customer-centric approaches — developing products and services that align economic and environmental incentives — hold potent catalysts for change.”

In “Turbocharging the Energy Transition by Boosting Customer Demand,” BCG offers evidence in support of a demand-led, customer-driven energy transition in three large sectors where Voltus has commercialized multiple specialized offerings: “residential and commercial buildings (including data centers), transportation (most parts), and industry (primarily certain types of manufacturing).” BCG concludes that by offering customers in these three sectors sustainable products that promise “four basic types of benefits” — superior economics, superior product performance, superior customer experience, and superior perception and narrative — companies can drive self-sustaining market uptake of solutions that promise to mitigate planet-warming emissions.

The Voltus case study featured in the BCG report focuses on a day in which a natural gas-fired power plant in Alberta, Canada tripped offline, straining system capacity in the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) territory. In response to this disruption, Voltus’s VPP achieved its committed demand reduction to AESO by temporarily reducing energy demand of its customers across Alberta — a testament to Voltus’s technology platform and customer-centric approach.

“At Voltus, we’re making it easy for our thousands of commercial and residential customers to capture the full value of their behind-the-meter energy assets,” said Voltus Co-founder and CEO, Dana Guernsey. “We work with them to identify and assign value to potential flexible capacity, enroll them as load-side, grid-serving resources in the increasingly resource-constrained energy markets, and participate in dispatch events. It’s a seamless process that makes our customers feel confident in their energy choices, creating the ‘flywheel effect’ BCG attributes to consumer-led energy transitions.”
