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.

Fluke Delivers Unmatched Safety to Solar Professionals with Tools Specifically Designed for High-Voltage Solar Environments

By: via GlobeNewswire

EVERETT, Wash, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluke Corporation, a leading provider of safe, rugged, and reliable industrial tools and integrated software, today announced the introduction of the Fluke 283 FC Solar Digital Multimeter and the Fluke a283 FC True-RMS Wireless Clamp which enable solar professionals to work more confidently, without compromising safety in high voltage environments such as a testing individual panels, strings or invertors in a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) array.

The new 283 FC Digital Multimeter from Fluke is designed to enhance safety and increase productivity, while also providing technicians with accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.

The Fluke 823 FC/PV Solar Kit includes CAT III 1500 V DC safety rated accessories that enable technicians to work confidently in high-voltage environments.  With Staubli MC4 test leads, professionals can quickly make reliable, secure connections to modules or strings to test DC voltage up to 1500 V DC, well suited to utility operations.

The TL175-HV CAT III 1500 V / CAT IV 1000 V rated silicone test leads offer flexibility for testing voltage, millivoltage, resistance, continuity, and capacitance on inverters, combiner boxes, PV arrays, and individual PV modules.

"Our digital multimeters are renowned for their exceptional accuracy, durability, and safety features making them the preferred choice of professionals across various industries for reliable and precise measurement,” said Jason Waxman, President of Fluke Corporation. “The Fluke 283 FC is uniquely positioned to cater to this market with both CAT III 1500 and CAT IV 1000 ratings prioritizing features that increase efficiency safety and reliability. It’s a powerful all-in-one tool for solar professionals."

Fluke 283 FC/PV Key Features and Benefits Include:

  • Highly Accurate Measurements: Provides precise voltage measurements for accurate frontline troubleshooting.
  • 60 A AC/DC Current Measurements: Safely troubleshoot individual strings of modules with the a283 FC wireless current clamp.
  • Visual and Audio Polarity Indicators: Help prevent accidental module wiring issues.
  • User-Defined Limit Gauge: Quickly make go/no-go troubleshooting decisions.
  • Unique Multimeter Readiness Self-Check: Ensures your meter is ready to test, providing confidence.
  • Large Bright Backlit Display and Illuminated Keypad: ideal for working in dark environments.

The a283 FC True-RMS wireless current clamp simplifies the troubleshooting process without compromising safety and reliability. It measures both AC and DC current up to 60 A, ensuring precise readings for solar installations, electrical systems, and industrial equipment. Its thin jaw is designed specifically for cramped spaces like combiner boxes or inverters. Prioritizing safety at every step, the non-contact design allows for safe connections without touching live wires, plus wireless connectivity eliminates the hassle of tangled wires, allowing for measurements from a safe distance.

With the Fluke 283 FC digital multimeter and a283 FC wireless current clamp, technicians can measure voltage and current simultaneously and automatically calculate VA power. This feature eliminates the need to change the measurement setup, providing seamless and efficient data collection in the field.

Utilizing Fluke Connect™ with the Fluke Cloud Storage capability provides 283 FC users with an enhanced troubleshooting experience by allowing the 283 FC to transmit measurements to a smartphone or tablet for detailed analysis that is uploaded to the cloud.
