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 Collaborates with Oracle to Power Next-Gen AI Data Centers

HOUSTON, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VoltaGrid LLC will deploy 2,300 megawatts (MW) of cutting-edge, ultra-low-emissions infrastructure, supplied by Energy Transfer’s pipeline network, to support the energy demands of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

The VoltaGrid power infrastructure will be delivered through the proprietary VoltaGrid platform — a modular, high-transient-response system developed by VoltaGrid with key suppliers, including INNIO Jenbacher and ABB.

“This is more than a power deal, it’s a collaboration with Oracle to engineer scalable solutions that dampen swings in AI power demand,” said Nathan Ough, CEO of VoltaGrid. “Together, we’re delivering grid-grade performance with ultra-fast response, zero reliance on battery storage, and near-zero criteria air emissions.”

“AI workloads are uniquely power-intensive and highly variable, often creating swings in demand,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “By collaborating with VoltaGrid, we’re engineering innovations that dampen these swings, making AI’s power usage more stable, predictable, and grid-friendly. VoltaGrid’s platform joins OCI’s broad energy portfolio to bolster our leading-edge AI infrastructure with dependable power that can be effortlessly scaled.”

VoltaGrid’s platform advantages include AI-optimized performance, mission-critical power quality, vertical integration for speed and certainty, and innovative heat rejection design, to name a few.

Expanded Energy Access and Fuel Innovation

This collaboration includes key participation from Energy Transfer, a leading energy infrastructure provider.

This power plant deployment is being supplied with firm natural gas from Energy Transfer’s expansive pipeline and storage systems. This supply represents the value that Energy Transfer’s natural gas assets bring to customers that are looking for the most reliable level of gas supply available in the market.
