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 Announces Latest Clean Energy Project in Portfolio Energy Upgrade Initiative for Performance Food Group

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GridMarket, LLC is pleased to announce its latest clean energy project with Performance Food Group, Inc. (PFG) (NYSE: PFGC). The solar and battery storage project is part of a larger portfolio partnership, that will increase sustainable operations, reduce costs, and upgrade onsite infrastructure for future EV charger integration at select nationwide PFG facilities.

The project at the PFG facility in Shafter, CA, consists of 1MW solar PV and a 250kW/550kWh battery storage system. Leveraging the investment tax credit (ITC) increased project value and economic viability, and the system is another step towards PFG reaching operational efficiency and sustainability goals.

“PFG continues to be a fantastic partner and we are thrilled to announce this solar and storage project in Shafter, CA,” said Peter Schneider, Director of Business Development and Project Management at GridMarket. “Portfolio expansion in California and beyond underscores PFG’s dedication to advancing sustainable solutions and reinforces their commitment to clean energy development. Building on the success of the initial Gilroy, CA project, this project will have tremendous environmental and economic value for the Shafter facility and PFG’s carbon footprint as a whole.”

As PFG continues to look ahead to future fleet electrification, onsite infrastructure upgrades will help alleviate capacity issues with the grid, creating the opportunity for charger installation and necessary demand realities. In the near-term, the installation will provide tremendous savings and emissions reduction.

“Our partnership with GridMarket continues to produce valuable projects for our facilities,” said Jeff Williamson, Senior Vice President, Operations, PFG. “We have been able to outline initial steps in our renewable energy strategic plan using GridMarket's approach in California. We are now implementing that plan to help achieve cost-savings and make important progress against our overall sustainability goals across the company.”

Customers in California continue to face rate increases, evolving regulatory requirements and environmental pressures. In order to get ahead of statewide mandates in California and at select facilities in other states and bring operational resiliency through onsite generation and backup power, PFG committed to exploring clean energy through the GridMarket platform. The resulting strategy was created and launched with a site in Gilroy, CA last year and now continues with the Shafter site.

“We worked closely with GridMarket and our construction partner, MBL Energy, to appropriately size and design the system to meet demand needs at the Shafter facility while aligning with PFG's company-wide sustainability and carbon goals,” said Scott Ameduri, President at Enerlogics. “We are thrilled to be executing on this second project as part of our partnership - following the project being deployed in Gilroy - and are eager to continue working through the identified sites to bring clean generation, storage, and fleet electrification value. This and other PFG projects reflect their commitment to a greener, more resilient future, showcasing innovation and environmental responsibility in action.”
