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.

How Artificial Intelligence Intersects with Energy

By: NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - Artificial intelligence (AI) creates many things, including a staggering demand for energy, and the United States is exploring ways to meet the power requirements of the future, according to experts at the recent AI + Energy Summit in Washington, D.C.

 The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), a nonprofit and nonpartisan initiative with a goal of making recommendations to strengthen America's long-term competitiveness in AI, hosted the Summit, which brought together top policymakers, technologists, and energy industry leaders.

SCSP identified 12 key takeaways that should be part of a strategy for how America can maintain its competitive edge at the intersection of AI and energy.

  1. Acknowledge the surge in energy demand. AI applications could potentially drive a 160% increase in global energy demand from data centers by 2030.

  2. Modernize electrical infrastructure. A smart and flexible grid is essential to handle the demands of AI and renewable energy.

  3. Improve energy systems. Using AI to improve energy systems to power more AI could be a key accelerator of progress.

  4. Rethink nuclear regulations. Thoughtful regulatory reform could open the door for small nuclear reactors that could power AI data centers.

  5. Consider climate benefits. The energy demands of AI could accelerate the transition to clean energy by helping to reshape energy infrastructure.

  6. Take risks on emerging technology. Fusion and advanced geothermal technology, which taps into the earth's heat, have great potential payoffs as energy sources.

  7. Embrace the moonshot mentality. Create a regulatory system that allows public and private sectors to explore and push boundaries.

  8. Support public-private partnerships. Empower the Department of Energy's national labs to act more like startups and partner with the private sector to expand promising energy technology and innovation.

  9. Build a pipeline. Encourage the government to focus on early-stage, high-risk research to create a pipeline of technology for private companies to commercialize and scale.

  10. Maintain global leadership. Only a handful of AI training clusters exist globally, and where they are located will shape the future of AI development and energy geopolitics, so the U.S. needs to pay attention to these locations and engage allies in order to maintain energy leadership.

  11. Create a coherent strategy. Leverage the American innovation culture of risk-taking to promote fundamental research and entrepreneurship in order to continue to compete with China in areas such as fusion and advanced nuclear.

  12. Invest in technical education. Developing talent and building a workforce to deploy and maintain next-generation energy systems is especially crucial for fusion and advanced geothermal systems.

By focusing on smart regulatory reform, workforce retraining, and global competitiveness, the United States can stay ahead in this evolving landscape, SCSP concluded at the Summit.
