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.

ALLWEI Launches Balkonkraftwerk System with Expandable Battery for German Homes

-- As electricity costs continue to soar across Germany, more and more households are looking to transform their balconies into "personal power stations" - generating energy during the day, storing it for use at night, without complicated permits, or high renovation costs.


The newly launched ALLWEI BM1600 Balkonkraftwerk system is composed of the BM1600 main unit (1600 Wh, 800W output) and the B160 expansion battery (1600 Wh, expandable with up to 4 additional units, for a total capacity of up to 8000 Wh), providing a practical solution for applications ranging from peak shaving to full-home emergency power.

Industry Pain Points: Why Do Homes Need "Balcony PV + Storage"?

1.Soaring Electricity Prices

Over the past five years, residential electricity prices in Germany have risen by more than 30%, with peak summer rates often exceeding €0.41/kWh.

2.Limitations of Traditional Solar

Rooftop PV systems come with high installation costs and long lead times. Moreover, traditional feed-in systems do not ensure energy availability during nighttime or cloudy days.

3.Growing Demand for Energy Storage

To combat high electricity prices, households need power stations with built-in storage, charging during periods of negative pricing and discharging when rates spike.

Product Overview: ALLWEI Balkonkraftwerk System

  • Plug & Play: 800W feed-in power; compliant with local regulations; does not require installation by a certified electrician
  • Smart Ecosystem: Compatible with Shelly, Tibber Pulse, Ecotracker, and the ALLWEI Meter
  • Dynamic Pricing: Supports Tibber’s Dynamic Electricity Tariff
  • PV Input: Triple 700W MPPT support, up to 2100W total
  • Modular Upgrades: Customizable capacity to meet everyday or extended power needs
  • Portable Design: Moderate weight and portable design for hassle-free relocation

Core Technologies & Safety Certifications

  • LiFePO₄ Cells: Long cycle life (≥ 6000+ cycles ≈ 16 years), low self-discharge, high thermal stability
  • Smart Battery Management System (BMS): Real-time monitoring of voltage, temperature, and charge balancing to maximize battery lifespan
  • Comprehensive Protection: Safeguards against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuits, and overheating - certified under VDE4105:2018, UL2743, UN38.3, CE
  • Weather Resistance: Operates in −20℃ to 40℃ environments, ideal for both indoor and outdoor balcony use

Typical Use Cases

1.Day-Night Self-Consumption

  • Sunny Days: PV directly powers home appliances while charging the battery pack.
  • Nights & Cloudy Days: Battery discharges power to essential appliances like lights, refrigerators, routers, and security cameras.

2.Peak Shaving and Load Shifting

  • The AI-powered power management system automatically charges the BM1600 during low-rate or negative pricing periods and discharges during peak-rate times, potentially saving households up to €700 per year, subject to local tariffs and consumption habits.

Economic Benefits & Policy Support

  • Fast Payback: At €0.41/kWh, a system with one main unit and two expansion batteries (~5 kWh) has a payback period of less than 2.5 years
  • Government Subsidies: German federal and state programs offer over €100/kWh in incentives for micro-PV and battery systems, with total subsidies reaching up to €800
  • Increased Value: Up to 50% higher self-consumption rate; combined PV and storage system yields an internal rate of return (IRR) of 8% or more
