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.

Kirby McInerney announces CFTC settlement of whistleblower claims related to Ceres Global’s attempted manipulation of oats futures contracts

By: via Business Wire

The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is proud to announce that it represented a whistleblower who provided support to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). In connection with that matter, the CFTC obtained a $3 million settlement.

The case concerns the attempted manipulation by Ceres Global – which procures, merchandises, and stores grains and other energy and industrial products – of the price of oats futures from approximately June 13, 2016 to July 15, 2016, and again from January 1, 2017 to March 15, 2017. “This case underscores the degree to which whistleblowers can play a critical role in helping regulators police esoteric markets,” said Kirby McInerney Co-Managing Partner David Kovel, who oversaw the case. “Our client came forward and helped the CFTC see into this obscure and illiquid market.”

In its settlement order, the CFTC stated that “Ceres attempted to manipulate the price of oats futures in an effort to profit from futures trading and gain competitive advantages over their competitors by obtaining higher quality oats from the futures delivery process. In its effort to affect oats futures prices, Ceres built large long positions at or close to the spot month speculative limits, held those long positions into the delivery period, and took delivery of oats. Senior personnel at Ceres knew about and facilitated the attempted manipulation.”

In addition to the monetary penalty, as part of the settlement, Ceres has agreed to measures designed to prevent future attempted manipulation, including personnel training, third-party review of internal policies and procedures and strengthening of those policies and procedures, and designation of a Chief Compliance Officer tasked with ensuring compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act.

“We are very pleased with this outcome for the CFTC,” said Kovel. “We hope that the penalty and the prophylactics the settlement requires will help to prevent similar misconduct in the future.” Kirby McInerney extends its gratitude to its client and to the CFTC for investigating and pursuing this case.

Kirby McInerney is a New York-based law firm concentrating in whistleblower, securities, antitrust, and consumer litigation. The firm’s efforts on behalf of investors, consumers, and the government have resulted in recoveries totaling billions of dollars. The firm represents whistleblowers in numerous programs, including in the SEC, CFTC, and IRS whistleblower programs and in cases under the federal and state False Claims Acts. Additional information about the firm can be found at Kirby McInerney LLP’s general website at www.kmllp.com.

Kirby McInerney has been involved in some of the most cutting-edge areas of commodities litigation, and represented the whistleblower who received nearly $200 million, the largest CFTC whistleblower award ever.

The firm’s commodity litigation experience includes cases involving the manipulation of agricultural, energy, fixed income, foreign exchange, metals, and other markets. Notably, Kirby McInerney served as co-lead counsel for a class of exchange-based plaintiffs in the high-profile In re LIBOR-Based Financial Instruments Antitrust Litig., No. 11 MD 2262 (S.D.N.Y.) and secured, to date, settlements totaling $187 million for Eurodollar Futures traders. This amount represents the largest recovery in a “futures-only” commodities class action litigation.

Kirby McInerney’s CFTC Whistleblower Team is led by the firm’s Co-Managing Partner, David Kovel, who was previously a commodities trader for a large financial firm.
