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.

Halcium Energy Powers Urban Renewables With Compact Wind Innovation

--News Direct--

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga

With the rising threat of climate change, renewable energy infrastructure isn’t just a convenient political tagline – it’s an outright necessity. However, going green from a localized perspective typically tends to center around solar-based platforms, which can have limitations. Halcium Energy offers a radical new solution to cover all bases, and early-bird investors who believe in the company’s potential can participate in an equity crowdfunding campaign hosted by WeFunder.

Fundamentally, Halcium falls under the burgeoning category of distributed energy. This term refers to a model where power is generated close to the source of demand (i.e. consumption). In contrast, the legacy paradigm involves centralized power plants sending electricity over great distances. By shortening this route through distributed power generation, society can benefit from improved economic efficiencies.

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, the U.S. power grid loses about 5% of electricity through transmission and distribution loss. That’s enough juice to power every Central American nation four times over. On a separate note, grid congestion – or the excessive flow of electricity through the grid at one time – costs the economy $6 billion annually in higher energy bills.

One obvious solution is to integrate wind power into a distributed network. However, the underlying turbine system is incredibly bulky and space-intensive. Furthermore, certain inherent inconveniences, high cost, disruption to ecology and even safety risks have always stymied wind as a viable distributed solution – until now.

Rethinking The Renewable Energy Paradigm

Climate experts forward solar power as a viable solution to help address manmade environmental changes, in part because of the platform’s modularity. Solar panels can be integrated across a wide variety of infrastructures. Indeed, Grand View Research points out that just the U.S. residential solar energy market alone reached a valuation of $7.45 billion in 2023.

This national market could expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4% from 2024 to 2030, culminating in sector revenue of $17.68 billion. Nevertheless, solar energy systems are not without their own challenges. Most notably, the solution can be intermittent due to the inherent need for clear-sky days.

Obviously, at night or during periods of less-than-ideal weather, solar panels become ineffective at generating power. It’s here that Halcium offers a rethink. By delivering an innovative wind-based renewable energy system, the new platform could act as a force multiplier, picking up the slack when solar capacities diminish. Together, the combination of wind and solar may cover all bases.

Of course, traditional wind turbines have been hampered by their own significant obstacles, particularly in the realm of urban deployment. Primarily, this platform is expensive and requires extensive real estate. A typical wind turbine can cost between $2 million and $4 million, with operation and maintenance running up to $48,000 per year.

Additionally, wind power structures present aesthetic and livability issues. Aside from what can feel like blighting the beauty of natural landscapes, wind farms can create unwanted or disturbing noises. More problematic, these facilities may negatively impact the surrounding ecology. Furthermore, while rare, inclement weather has been known to rip apart propellors, creating substantial safety risks.

The Halcium PowerShell: Taking Renewable Energy To The Next Level

Though the need for a parallel green energy solution to solar was evident to many, the technology and innovation of a safe, convenient and modular wind power system was simply not available. Halcium sought to step into the void, delivering what it says is an unprecedented energy architecture called the PowerShell.

Immediately, what distinguishes the PowerShell from other wind energy solutions currently proposed is its 360-degree design. This core element is simple yet strikingly powerful because the PowerShell has no “face.” Instead, the circumferential and angled architecture allows wind to pass through from any direction in a controlled manner, affording the system increased utility.

Another key component of the PowerShell innovation is that it features no external moving parts. With the internal blade completely contained within the stationary chassis, no risk is imposed on birds, other wildlife, and most importantly, people.

Just as well, because the internal blade is shielded from harsh, fluctuating winds – since the airflow is directed by the PowerShell’s precisely angled intake system – shearing forces are significantly reduced. Therefore, the combination of the architecture’s small, modular design along with reduced wear and tear should yield conspicuous cost savings relative to traditional wind-based solutions.

From a business standpoint, Halcium believes the market potential for PowerShell could be massive. Given the relatively small footprint of the innovation, Halcium’s system can be incorporated in urban areas across the world, not just in the U.S. According to Allied Market Research, the global distributed energy generation market reached a valuation of $360.4 billion last year.

Encouragingly, it’s projected to expand at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2024 to 2033. Many retail investors have chosen to latch onto Halcium’s equity crowdfunding campaign.

A Safe And Modular Urban Wind Energy System

As global energy needs grow, Halcium’s PowerShell stands out by reimagining wind power for dense, urban settings. With a 360-degree intake and enclosed internal blade, it overcomes traditional barriers of space, safety and cost – paving the way for sustainable urban energy that complements solar. This could potentially be a pivotal solution for distributed energy, offering both resilience and efficiency where it’s most needed.
