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.

MarketVector Indexes™ Launches the MarketVector™ Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate and the MarketVector™ Figment Ethereum Total Return Index

By: via Business Wire

Indexes to underlie the performance of digital assets investment solutions

Pioneer index provider in the digital assets space, MarketVector IndexesTM ("MarketVector"), and Figment, a leading provider of staking infrastructure, launched their first staking rewards indexes, in collaboration with Digital Asset Research as the pricing provider.

The staking reward indexes include the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate and the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index.

The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate measures the annualized rate resulting from staking ETH on Ethereum. The Rewards Rate encompasses rewards from all activities on the Consensus Layer, including block proposals, attestations, sync committee, slashing reporting and the Execution Layer, including priority transaction fees and MEV. Penalties incurred from slashing are automatically deducted.

“MarketVector IndexesTM is committed to innovation across our product set, but especially with our cutting-edge Digital Asset Index family,” said Steven Schoenfeld, CEO of MarketVector. “The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate and the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index are the latest examples of our pioneering role in Crypto benchmarks, a field we entered in 2017 when the industry was in its infancy.”

The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index takes a comprehensive and flexible approach by combining Ethereum's Consensus and Execution Layer rewards with the daily market price. This approach provides a holistic perspective on Ethereum's performance, considering all possible reward sources and slashing incidents while utilizing reliable exchange data to capture the market price of Ethereum.

Understanding that different markets have unique requirements, MarketVector creates highly customizable indexes to cater to the needs of various institutions. With the flexibility to modify several components of the index, clients can choose from options such as adjusting market price timing to align with their product's market, selecting the types of rewards to incorporate (either from the Consensus and Execution layers or just the Consensus layer), and focusing on specific validator subsets for custom indexes. They can also select from a range of reward models tailored to their strategic objectives. This level of customization demonstrates MarketVector’s commitment to delivering bespoke solutions in the dynamic digital asset landscape.

“We're immensely proud to announce the launch of the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Rewards Reference Rate and the groundbreaking MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index,” said Martin Leinweber, CFA, Digital Asset Product Strategist of MarketVector. “With these indexes, we've coupled institutional grade data with complete customizability to offer a detailed understanding of Ethereum's value and reward system. This marks a major milestone in digital asset markets, as we bring forward the first-ever Ethereum Total Return product, a significant addition that was long overdue. Our commitment to innovation underscores our mission to empower investors and stakeholders with accurate, comprehensive, and adaptable benchmarks in the digital asset realm.”

“We’re honored to be chosen as the pricing provider and calculation agent for MarketVector’s new digital asset indexes,” said Doug Schwenk, CEO of Digital Asset Research. “We apply a rigorous, transparent methodology to asset pricing so investment professionals can accurately measure performance. This is an exciting start to our expanding relationship with MarketVector.”

While the partnership's initial focus is on solutions for institutions and investors in Ethereum, this partnership paves the way to expand and extend these capabilities to other digital assets in the future.

“This groundbreaking initiative heralds a new era of opportunity for the evolution of digital asset capital markets and asset management products,” said Joshua Deems, International Business Development Lead at Figment. “We take pride in empowering institutions to confidently stake their Ethereum. Now, we are delighted to introduce a dependable rewards rate and total return index, made possible through our collaboration with index partner MarketVector and market data provider Digital Asset Research. We eagerly anticipate engaging in conversations about the new capabilities with our valued clients, prospective partners, and newcomers to the industry.”

Detailed information about the indexes, including methodology details and index data, is available on the MarketVector website.
