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.

Forge Battery Completes Contract Negotiation to Secure $100M from U.S. Department of Energy for North Carolina Lithium-Ion Battery Gigafactory

  • Forge Battery finalized award negotiations with the Department of Energy on January 14, 2025
  • $100M Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding to support gigafactory expansion to 3 GWh/year

RALEIGH, N.C. and DENVER, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forge Battery, the commercial lithium-ion battery production subsidiary of Forge Nano, Inc., today announced it finalized award negotiations for $100M in non-dilutive funding by the Department of Energy’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). Forge Battery and the Department of Energy finalized the funding contract on January 14th, 2025.

Forge Battery plans to use the $100M to expand its North Carolina lithium-ion battery gigafactory production capacity to 3 gigawatt hours per year (GWh/year). Combined with $140M from Forge Battery, the BIL funding will serve to bolster the United States’ renewable energy supply chain, creating opportunities for U.S. innovations to be powered by best-in-class lithium-ion cells that are designed and produced on U.S. soil.

“Forge Battery is ready to power tomorrow’s most critical battery-powered innovations,” said Paul Lichty, CEO of Forge Nano, the parent company of Forge Battery. “The Department of Energy has been crucial to our future success where we expect to showcase the United States’ competitiveness in lithium-ion cell performance, safety and manufacturing.”

Forge Battery recently began cell production via a new, supplemental manufacturing line in Colorado to accelerate cell production trials, while supporting customers and partners with cell samples. Forge Battery intends to produce 21700 cell products on the new manufacturing line before transitioning production to the Morrisville Gigafactory.

Forge Battery expects to begin construction on the North Carolina Gigafactory expansion in early 2025. In the meantime, interested cell customers can request cell performance and safety data via the request form at https://www.forgebattery.com.
