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.

Norfolk State University Selects Voltus To Advance Campus Sustainability, Support Grid Reliability in Virginia

NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Norfolk State University (NSU) has tapped leading distributed energy resource (DER) software platform and virtual power plant (VPP) operator, Voltus, Inc. (Voltus), to implement its new energy efficiency program, demand response (DR). The ambitious program will improve campus sustainability and generate millions in new revenue for the university, which aims to reduce energy use by 27% by 2030 and further by 2045. Revenue generated will help fund other efforts within NSU’s energy and sustainability commitment, including smart technology, building automation, and high-efficiency equipment.

“We’re pioneering a holistic and sustainable lifestyle for our campus community to show what’s possible for a modern, energy-efficient university,” said Richard E. Martin, Director of Energy and Sustainability at NSU. “Voltus makes that possible with their expertise in the PJM market and technology that helps us earn the most with our participation. The customer service and attentiveness Voltus provides make this program easy and most importantly, successful, to the benefit of our entire campus community. This program helps us improve the efficiency of their campus operations with the added benefit of supporting the surrounding community.”

The partnership allows Voltus to leverage high-efficiency equipment, automated set points, and smart scheduling to seamlessly shift the campus’s building and equipment electricity usage during times of high demand on the energy grid. NSU is then compensated for reducing energy usage, which opens new revenue streams to be reinvested in other campus energy and sustainability projects. The program not only reduces NSU's utility costs, but exemplifies for stakeholders the benefits of demand response, sustainable practices, and the role of HBCUs in driving energy innovation.

“We’re thrilled to provide the platform for this precedent-setting initiative at NSU,” said Sam Scuilli, VP of Sales at Voltus. “University leadership came to us with a vision of a sustainable, energy-efficient campus that leads by example, and our demand response program is a crucial part of that. Our platform simplifies the preparation for and executing of DR events so faculty and students won’t notice the curtailment as it’s happening. What they will notice are the incredible environmental and economic benefits of this program - all of which are detailed in our platform.”

Additional program benefits through Voltus include:

  • Supporting local community by helping prevent blackouts on the grid
  • Advanced notification of potential power shutoffs
  • Access to real-time energy data to monitor energy usage outside of DR performance
