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.

VoltaGrid and INNIO-Jenbacher Partner to Revolutionize Data Center Power Solutions with QPac

HOUSTON, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VoltaGrid, a leader in advanced energy solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Jenbacher to jointly develop and deploy the QPac system, a next-generation data center power plant platform designed to set new industry standards in efficiency, performance, and sustainability.

Revolutionary Power Generation with QPac
The QPac platform represents a major technological leap in power generation for data centers. Each reciprocating node within the system is capable of generating up to 20 MW of power, offering industry-leading power density per square foot of land use. Additionally, these nodes can be combined to deliver up to 200 MW of prime power under a minor source air permit, ensuring flexibility and scalability to meet diverse operational requirements.

This innovative design is tailored to meet the increasing energy demands of data centers, particularly as artificial intelligence and advanced computational workloads continue to grow.

Key features of the QPac platform include:

  • Industry-Leading Efficiency: The platform boasts a best-in-class heat rate and power generation efficiency, ensuring optimal energy utilization and reduced environmental impact.
  • High-Pressure Gas Mixing Technology: QPac’s high-pressure injection generation allows for unparalleled load acceptance capabilities, designed specifically to support the demanding requirements of future AI chip loads.
  • Innovative Heat Rejection Design: The system’s plant-level heat rejection mechanism is engineered to output vertically above data center HVAC systems, enhancing overall cooling efficiency and system integration.
  • Low Noise Package: QPac’s design is engineered to target a sound level of 65 dBA at 33 feet to fulfill stringent local noise requirements.
  • Hydrogen-Ready Technology: The QPac units are designed to be upgraded to operate with up to 100% hydrogen fuel in the future, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon footprints.
  • Unmatched Reliability: With a projected plant reliability exceeding 99.9%, the QPac platform sets a new benchmark for operational dependability in the data center power sector.

Partnership and Deployment Capabilities
VoltaGrid is proud to be the INNIO partner for QPac in the United States, providing unmatched access to this revolutionary technology. With the ability to deploy up to 50 MW of QPac units per month, VoltaGrid ensures scalable and reliable power solutions to meet the growing demands of the data center industry.

Deployment Timeline and Vision
VoltaGrid is set to commence deliveries of the QPac system to customers in the United States starting in 2025. This partnership with Jenbacher underscores VoltaGrid’s commitment to providing cutting-edge power solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the data center industry.

“Our collaboration with Jenbacher is a testament to our shared vision of delivering innovative and sustainable energy solutions,” said Nathan Ough, CEO of VoltaGrid. “The QPac platform represents a transformative step forward in meeting the unique challenges of modern data centers while advancing environmental stewardship.”

This joint initiative aligns with VoltaGrid’s ongoing efforts to redefine the standards for energy reliability, sustainability, and performance in critical infrastructure applications. By combining Jenbacher’s expertise in reciprocating engine technology with VoltaGrid’s leadership in energy solutions, the QPac platform is poised to set a new benchmark in the data center industry.
