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.

Hecla Announces Q1 2022 Production

By: via Business Wire

Silver production increased and zinc production is steady

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL) today announced its preliminary silver and gold production for the first quarter of 2022.1

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Silver production of 3.3 million ounces, an increase of 3% over the fourth quarter of 2021 due to higher grades mined at Greens Creek.
  • Gold production of 41,642 ounces.
  • Lead and Zinc production was in line with the prior quarter.
  • Silver equivalent production of 9.7 million ounces, gold equivalent production of 123,537 ounces.2

“Hecla, United States’ largest silver producer with the country’s largest reserves, saw solid production from all three operations,” said Hecla’s President and CEO Phillips S. Baker, Jr. “Greens Creek’s production increased due to slightly higher grades. Lucky Friday’s production has now had six quarters with production above 830 thousand ounces, positioning production to grow to over a million ounces a quarter for the remainder of the year. At Casa Berardi, production was as planned with the mill processing more 160 Pit material.”

“Hecla is on track to grow silver production this year and for each of the next two years while also being the United States’ third largest zinc producer. Zinc, like silver, is a critical mineral in the energy transition and is approaching its all-time high price set 15 years ago.”

OPERATIONS

Greens Creek

Greens Creek produced 2.4 million ounces of silver and 11,402 ounces of gold compared to 2.3 million ounces of silver and 10,229 ounces of gold in the prior quarter. The increase in production was primarily due to higher grades. The mill operated at an average of 2,352 tons per day (tpd).

Casa Berardi

Casa Berardi produced 30,240 ounces compared to 37,266 ounces in the prior quarter. The anticipated decrease in production was expected since surface tons are lower grade. The increase in surface tons is from the 160 Pit, which commenced ore production in the fourth quarter of 2021. The mill operated at an average of 4,291 tpd compared to an average of 4,207 tpd in the prior quarter.

Lucky Friday

At the Lucky Friday mine, 888 thousand ounces of silver were produced compared to 955 thousand ounces in the prior quarter. Fewer tons and lower silver grades were mined due to equipment delays that affected mine sequencing. The equipment is being received this quarter. The mill operated at an average of 864 tpd.
