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.

State Street Global Advisors and Barclays Quantitative Portfolio Strategy Announce Collaboration on Active Systematic Fixed Income Strategies

State Street Global Advisors, the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), today announced a collaboration with Barclays’ Research business through which State Street Global Advisors will develop and manage a suite of active systematic fixed income strategies.

Through the collaboration, State Street Global Advisors will develop and manage investment products and strategies, leveraging data sourced from systematic strategy indices created by Barclays Quantitative Portfolio Strategy (Barclays QPS) team. 

“By collaborating with Barclays’ QPS team, we will be able to create a suite of active fixed income products that leverage the strengths of our respective organizations and speak to the future of fixed income,” said Matthew Steinaway, chief investment officer - fixed Income, cash and currency at State Street Global Advisors.

“Over the past decade, fixed income securities have traded more efficiently and with greater liquidity,” Steinaway continued. “Nearly half the respondents in our recently published Future of Fixed Income report believe that increasingly efficient markets are making it harder for active strategies to add value.”

Against this backdrop, systematic fixed income strategies and products – in which alpha is driven by intensive data analysis used to uncover mis-pricings – offer a compelling alternative for investors seeking active outcomes in fixed income, and are poised for growth. State Street Global Advisors’ The Future of Fixed Income report found that 91 percent of institutional investors had an appetite to use systematic fixed income strategies over the next 12 months, with investment grade and high yield corporate credit among the most attractive segments.

“We are delighted to be collaborating with State Street Global Advisors on this innovative approach,” said Jeff Meli, head of research at Barclays. “By combining the disciplined portfolio management strength of State Street Global Advisors with the research strength of Barclays QPS, the collaboration will play to the core strengths of both institutions, enabling investors to benefit from innovative systematic fixed income strategies.”

State Street Global Advisors has over $1 trillion in fixed income, cash and currency assets under management, including approximately $500 billion in indexed fixed income[1], where a deep understanding of fixed income market risk and liquidity are combined with advanced trading and portfolio construction expertise to deliver on client objectives. The firm brings a long history of product innovation in fixed income, systematic investing, and a global distribution network to the collaboration.

Barclays QPS is a leader in quantitative portfolio research. The team has been top-ranked by the Institutional Investor Fixed-Income Research Team survey and has authored four books on systematic investing. Over the past three decades, Barclays QPS developed proprietary methodologies used in the management of fixed income portfolios, including innovative measures of credit portfolio risk that have become industry standard.
