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.

Shoals Technologies Group Secures a New Patent for BLA Architecture, Reinforcing American Intellectual Property

PORTLAND, Tenn., Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (Shoals) (Nasdaq: SHLS), a global leader in electrical balance of system (EBOS) solutions for the energy transition market, announced today the issuance of its new U.S. patent (the ‘295 patent) that expands its Big Lead Assembly (BLA) intellectual property portfolio and further solidifies its leadership in American energy infrastructure innovation.

The ‘295 patent adds yet another patent to those already protecting Shoals’ BLA, a plug-and-play wiring solution that eliminates traditional combiner boxes, significantly reduces installation time and labor costs, and enables long-term performance on solar projects. Shoals has moved to add the newly issued Patent to its pending lawsuit against Voltage, LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina to protect against Voltage’s infringement of the ‘295 patent. By securing and defending its intellectual property, Shoals ensures that innovation is rewarded and that customers benefit from authentic, high-performance solutions.

“This newly issued patent is a testament to our relentless pursuit of innovation and our deep-rooted commitment to American manufacturing excellence,” said Brandon Moss, CEO of Shoals Technologies Group. “It not only safeguards our proprietary BLA technology but also reinforces our leadership in the U.S. solar market. By protecting our intellectual property, we’re ensuring fair market dynamics so customers can trust the quality of the solutions they deploy on energy projects.”

As the demand for American energy resources accelerates, Shoals remains resolute in advancing high-quality, U.S. manufactured solutions. With a focus on reliability, innovation, and long-term value, Shoals continues to advocate for integrity in the solar supply chain, ensuring that domestic manufacturers are empowered to lead the energy transition.
