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.

SAN FRANCISCO - May 27, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

SB Energy, SoftBank Group Corp's U.S.-based solar and storage platform, today announced the close of financing for the construction of two additional utility-scale projects, Athos I and Athos II, in Southern California. With today's announcement, over the past 12 months, SB Energy has completed development, reached financial close, and begun construction on five utility-scale solar projects totaling 1.7 gigawatts (GWp). The five projects in California and Texas, along with a strong pipeline of innovative projects, establish SB Energy as a leading solar and storage platform in the U.S.

"We are excited by the rapid growth of SB Energy's U.S. platform and furthering of Softbank Group's commitment to building the renewable energy future," said Marcelo Claure, CEO of SoftBank Group International and chairman of SB Energy. "SB Energy's achievements over the past 12 months, including rapid adoption of new technologies, strong execution by our team, and the creation of over 10,000 jobs in the U.S., emphasize the significance of our mission. We are encouraged by our early success in the U.S. and look forward to seeing the completion of these projects and the other projects in the pipeline as we solidify our position as the leader in solar and storage U.S."

The five milestone projects will provide over 1GWp in Texas from Juno, Titan, and Aragorn, with an additional 650 megawatts (MWp) in California from Athos I and Athos II. By the end of 2021, SB Energy will commission 1.3GWp of the 1.7GWp. At this time, the first projects have begun to provide local communities with clean energy. Each of the projects is designed with optimized asset management systems and innovations in digital intelligence to maximize power and integration with the grid.

Abhijeet Sathe, co-CEO of SB Energy, said, "We are proud to supply renewable energy in California and Texas - and we are just getting started. By incorporating new technologies, such as drone-based monitoring, time-saving construction techniques, and AI/Machine Learning software to optimize production, SB Energy is able to rapidly provide clean energy at lower cost and greater reliability to our partners and communities at scale."

SB Energy's 1.7GWp portfolio supports more than 3,000 jobs during construction, contributing to the over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs created by SB Energy. These jobs are helping to ultimately power over 330,000 American homes with renewable energy.

Rich Hossfeld, co-CEO of SB Energy said, "In addition to the 1.7GWp of solar projects we have executed across California and Texas, SB Energy has also developed a multi-GW solar and storage pipeline, with plans to initiate construction on an additional 1.5GWp of solar and storage projects within the next 12 months. We are pleased by our track record and are confident that we will meet the milestones ahead."

Over the past two years, SB Energy has built a world class team of industry veterans who position the company to rapidly scale while identifying and deploying innovative technologies. With a pipeline of large solar and storage projects and strong partnerships, SB Energy looks to unlock efficiencies across development, engineering, financing, procurement, and operations.

The five projects have been supported by major tax equity investors, including J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, and Barclays. MUFG, BayernLB, Citibank, CoBank, ING Capital, KeyBanc, Rabobank, Santander, Societe Generale, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation provided construction financing, with KKR's Global Atlantic Financial Group and Prosperity Life providing term debt financing across the portfolio. SB Energy also partnered with Deutsche Bank, Ares, CIT, East West Bank, Santander and Voya Investment Management on development financing for these projects.
