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.

ICE Launches Biotechnology Index Futures and Semiconductor Index Futures Contracts

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology and market infrastructure, today announced that it has launched two new thematic equity index futures contracts: the ICE Biotechnology Gross Total Return (GTR) Index and the ICE Semiconductor GTR Index futures contracts.

The ICE Biotechnology GTR Index futures contract is cash-settled with a notional value equal to $100 times the ICE Biotechnology Index closing gross total return index value (Index symbol: ICEBIOT). The ICE Semiconductor GTR Index futures contract is also cash-settled and has a notional value equal to $50 times the ICE Semiconductor Index closing gross total return index value (Index symbol: ICESEMIT). Both contracts trade on ICE Futures U.S. The ICE Futures U.S. contract symbols are IUT for the ICE Biotechnology GTR Index futures and IUS for the ICE Semiconductor GTR Index futures contracts.

Both the ICE Biotechnology Index and the ICE Semiconductor Index are rules-based, modified float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted indices that track the performance of qualifying U.S. listed biotechnology companies and the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies respectively. These indices comprise stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges and are constructed using sector and industry classifications from the ICE Uniform Sector Classification Schema.

“The last two years have seen the narratives around public health and supply chain dynamics reach new levels of prominence and significance in our daily lives,” said Caterina Caramaschi, Global Head of Equity Derivatives at ICE. “The new futures contracts based on the ICE Biotechnology Index and ICE Semiconductor Index are designed to offer investors tools to manage exposure to these megatrends as they become increasingly important to global economies.”

“ICE indices have helped market participants capture exposure to some of the most dynamic trends that are shaping the global economy,” said Amanda Hindlian, President of Fixed Income and Data Services at ICE. “The ICE Biotechnology Index and ICE Semiconductor Index provide market participants with effective tools to track advancements in areas like biotechnology and genomics, as well as supply and demand imbalances for semiconductors.”

In addition to these futures contracts, the indices serve as the benchmark for investment products. In June 2021, the iShares Biotechnology­­­ ETF (IBB) and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) began tracking the ICE Biotechnology Index and the ICE Semiconductor Index, respectively.
