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.

Chinese and Russian Cyber Attacks on the Electric Grid and How Kronos Will Build to Make the Grid Secure

NEW YORK - April 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Russia, angered by U.S. sanctions and support for the Ukraine, might launch a cyberattack against America's energy supply according to recent FBI intelligence. China, another significant rival, might also eventually attempt hamstringing America's power grid with cyber sabotage. While these threats will probably persist for years, Kronos Fusion's powerful quantum computing and machine learning systems could help harden this vital sector against foreign electronic attacks. 

The first threatening sign came in February when hackers likely from Russia's state-aligned "Strontium" group infiltrated the computers of twenty-one liquified natural gas producers in Ukraine, including Chevron and Kinder Morgan. According to cybersecurity firm Resecurity Inc., as reported by Bloomberg, around 100 computers were compromised immediately before Russia launched military operations in the Ukraine. Some outlets such as Technocracy News described the hacking as a "warning shot" to America. 

Following these events, the FBI reported "abnormal scanning" of five big U.S. energy companies in mid-March. Originating at IP addresses in Russia, these scans look like Russian cyber warfare agents probing for weaknesses in America's power supply. While some private cybersecurity experts disagree about the FBI's conclusions, Russia's Ukraine energy grid hacks and the shutdowns at Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment facility potentially caused by Mossad viruses and cyberattacks show the general risk is real. 

Kronos' upcoming Fusion Energy Commercialization Center could decisively boost America's energy security, reducing risks of a successful cyberattack on this critical sector. Simultaneous analysis of multiple streams of complex data through quantum computing and deep machine learning are critical to enabling Kronos' algorithms to develop practically uncrackable cybersecurity for the US energy grid. 

The advanced machine learning will likely be able to respond to attacks in real-time. Developing countermeasures and workarounds with near-instantaneous testing simulations could theoretically enable creation of an adaptable cybersecurity system that changes itself constantly to immunize itself against newly emergent threats. 

The Fusion Commercialization Centers planned by Kronos will house computer systems that use neural networks capable of learning from mistakes and running simulations on multiple lines of data to find, test, and refine optimum solutions. The usefulness of these methods in developing better cybersecurity and continually improving it based on real-world feedback are obvious. 

Practical fusion energy itself is another layer of security for America against these foreign cyber intrusions. Even in the extremely unlikely event a Russian or Chinese cyberattack succeeded, there would be no risk of nuclear contamination or meltdown if the United States' power is provided by fusion reactors. 

Kronos is strongly committed both to developing its Commercialization Centers featuring its futuristic computing technology, and a practical fusion reactor design, ensuring that America emerges as the dominant world energy producer. Ensuring the security of these systems is yet another critical piece of the fusion puzzle Kronos means to solve using cooperation between private industry, the government, and American academic institutions.
