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 Licenses its flagship Bitcoin Benchmark Rate to VanEck for HODL, the pioneering Spot Bitcoin ETF

MarketVector IndexesTM (“MarketVector”) announces the licensing of the MarketVector™ Bitcoin Benchmark Rate (BBR) to VanEck. The firm today launched the VanEck Bitcoin Trust (CBOEBZX Ticker: HODL), a first-of-its-kind ETF that provides exposure to spot Bitcoin.

The BBR is a robust tool for understanding the market value of Bitcoin. The index methodology is designed with a focus on accuracy, reliability, and resilience against market manipulation. MarketVector has been providing quality information to digital assets investors since 2017, and its indexes help the investment community make informed decisions, on this dynamic asset class.

“Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day on multiple exchanges and over-the-counter. It is important for ETFs to have a precise ‘end-of-day price’ even though trading never stops. We are proud to use MarketVector’s flagship BBR as the benchmark for the VanEck Bitcoin Trust,” stated Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Asset Product at VanEck Associates Corp. “Furthermore, one of the vital attributes of MarketVector’s cryptocurrency indexes is their status as a regulated benchmark provider under Germany’s BaFin regulations as well as the European BMR framework,” he added.

“We are honored to partner with VanEck to support the launch of their innovative and pioneering Spot Bitcoin ETF, HODL,” said Steven Schoenfeld, CEO of MarketVector. “Benchmarked to the MarketVectorTM Bitcoin Benchmark Rate, we are confident that investors will gain efficient exposure to Bitcoin. With more than seven years of experience in developing and managing Digital Asset Indexes, MarketVector is uniquely qualified to benchmark the dynamic and growing field of Crypto assets,” he continued.

The BBR calculates the volume-weighted median price average from 20 three-minute intervals, based on trades from the top five exchanges as ranked by CCData's Exchange Benchmark. This method offers a more accurate and manipulation-resistant measure of Bitcoin's price, enhancing the trust and transparency for investors. Additionally, the index exclusively includes BTC-USD trades, which further bolsters its reliability.

BBR’s robustness and accuracy are essential for maintaining integrity and trust in the dynamic cryptocurrency market. Its design and methodology ensure that it provides highly accurate price signals, keeping pricing anomalies in check, much like the precision of a Swiss watch in the world of timekeeping.
