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 Announces Second Expiry in ICE Midland WTI American Gulf Coast Futures With 2.5 million Barrels Going to Delivery in April

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, today announced that ICE Midland WTI American Gulf Coast futures (contract code: HOU) went to its second expiry on March 23, with 2,588 contracts going to delivery in April, almost double the 1,400 contracts which went to expiry in March. Each futures contract is equivalent to 1,000 barrels of Permian Basin originated WTI crude oil.

Since the contract began trading on January 24, over 31,000 ICE Midland WTI AGC futures have traded, including a record volume day on March 10 of 3,065 contracts. Open interest has grown to 4,508 contracts and goes out to January 2023.

“It’s really encouraging to see how market activity is developing around HOU and how this has continued to gather momentum despite the volatility in energy markets,” said Jeff Barbuto, Global Head of Oil Markets at ICE. “Physical market participants are seeing the value in having access to exchange guaranteed Midland WTI quality crude on the U.S. Gulf Coast, and they are increasingly using HOU to source those barrels.”

This month, ICE extended the time that participants can conduct Exchange for Physical (EFP) transactions so that they can now be executed up until the day after expiry of the futures contract. The EFP mechanism allows participants to exchange a HOU futures position for the equivalent number of underlying physical Midland WTI barrels.

The HOU contract is deliverable at both Magellan Midstream Partners’ Magellan East Houston (MEH) terminal and Enterprise Products Partners L.P.’s Enterprise Crude Houston (ECHO) terminal. To further facilitate trading between the MEH and ECHO terminals to create one large liquidity pool, Magellan and Enterprise will transfer Midland WTI barrels between the terminals for no charge during the first year if the barrels are not delivered to the buyer’s preferred terminal, and at 10 cents per barrel for all other WTI transfers meeting HOU quality specifications.
