About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Profoto Unveils B20 and B30 Powerful Flashes with Continuous LEDs; YouTube First Look Video, Now In Stock at B&H Photo

Profoto’s new B20 and B30 OCF flash heads with continuous bi-color LEDs promise power and precision in a portable package.

NEW YORK, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B&H is pleased to announce that Profoto has two new battery-powered OCF lights that will appeal to both photographers and videographers, the 250W B20 and the 500W B30 OCF flash heads are available by themselves or in Duo Kits with a Core Backpack II. Both lights are compact enough to take on location, but powerful enough for portraiture and dynamic flash-driven set-ups. Profoto promises 13% faster flash recycle times than the B10 series, alongside high CRI, an 11 f-stop power range, and 0.1 f-stop control.

Both lights come with user-interchangeable flash tubes, as well as a 3.5mm sync port for integration with larger setups. 40W of continuous LED light will be useful for video work, live streams, and setting up photo shoots. The B20 and B30 have rubberized surfaces and secure grips to make them safe to adjust even during long shoots. They support the full range of Profoto modifiers, including reflectors and softboxes, and have an optional ergonomic handle that’s useful for attaching larger accessories.

The B20 and B30 have three flash modes: ECO for long shoots, Boost for extra power, and Freeze for the shortest flash durations possible. The B20 battery should last for up to 400 full power flashes, with 0.01-1.2 second recycle times, while the B30 can do 220 full power flashes with 0.01-2.1 second recycles. Both can be controlled wirelessly via AirX, with Sync, TTL, and HSS functionality, as well as Bluetooth support for smartphones.

The B20 comes in at 4.3 lbs with a battery attached, while the B30 is 4.9 lbs on its own. The lights are bundled with an OCF Stand Adapter, Protection Cap, a B-series 4S1P battery, a battery charger, a C7 power cable, and a basic case. Switch to the Duo Kits and get two of everything, with the case swapped out for a Core Backpack II.
