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.

Buenaventura Announces Third Quarter and Nine-month 2024 Results

Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, today announced results for the third quarter (3Q24) and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (9M24). All figures have been prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) on a non-GAAP basis and are stated in U.S. dollars (US$).

Third Quarter and Nine-Month 2024 Highlights:

  • 3Q24 EBITDA from direct operations excluding the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company was US$ 132.4 million, compared to US$ 53.3 million reported in 3Q23. 9M24 EBITDA from direct operations excluding the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company reached US$ 333.8 million, compared to US$ 121.9 million reported in 9M23.
  • 3Q24 net income including the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company reached US$ 236.9 million, compared to a US$ 28.0 million net loss for the same period in 2023. 9M24 net income including the sale of Chaupiloma Royalty Company was US$ 369.1 million, compared to US$ 29.6 million in net income for the 9M23.
  • Buenaventura's cash position reached US$ 457.9 million by quarter’s end, September 30, 2024, while net debt amounted to US$ 224.7 million, resulting in a Leverage Ratio of 0.50x.
  • Buenaventura's 3Q24 consolidated silver production increased by 2.5M Oz, zinc production increased by 96% YoY, and lead production increased by 206% YoY, primarily driven by increased production at Uchucchacua and Yumpag. Gold production increased by 7% YoY due to increased output at Julcani and La Zanja. However, copper production decreased by 9% YoY. In 3Q23, copper production at El Brocal had increased due to higher than estimated copper content mined from the open pit transitional ore.
  • 100% of the ore stockpiled during 2Q24 due to Buenaventura’s voluntary temporary suspension of El Brocal’s processing plant facilities was processed during the 3Q24. The underground mine reached a record ~12 KTPD average throughput and Uchucchacua reached an average 1,500 TPD throughput during 3Q24, which was achieved earlier than had previously been forecast. Yumpag maintained steady 1,000 TPD production during 3Q24.
  • Buenaventura completed the sale of its Chaupiloma Royalty Company to Franco-Nevada for US$ 210 million during 3Q24, as was announced on August 13, 2024.
  • 3Q24 CAPEX related to San Gabriel was US$ 76.8 million, primarily allocated to the mine’s water dam and to power line construction.
  • Buenaventura’s credit rating was upgraded by Moody’s to B1 with a positive outlook. Moody’s cited Buenaventura's operational improvements driven by increased production from its El Brocal, Yumpag and Uchucchacua mines as well as efficiency in cost reduction, cash flow generation, and conservative liquidity management as key factors.
