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.

Worldscale Adopts ICE’s Benchmark EUA Carbon Pricing for its Tanker Freight Rates

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced that Worldscale Association Ltd (Worldscale), a leading provider of tanker freight rate references, has chosen ICE’s European Carbon Allowance (EUA) futures settlement price as the benchmark carbon price for calculating tanker freight rates in 2025.

ICE’s EUA futures and options market is the most liquid carbon market in the world.

Worldscale’s tanker freight flat rates represent the cost of a standard ship making a round-trip voyage. The rates are comprised of expenses including bunker prices, port costs and exchange rates. Under the European Union’s Emission Trading System (EU ETS), for which ICE’s EUA futures market represents the benchmark price, the maritime sector now has to account for the carbon emissions of ships calling in and handling cargoes at EU ports.

“Worldscale needed a transparent price of carbon to be factored into freight rates and ICE European carbon, as the most liquid carbon market, is the natural choice,” said Ian McCarthy, Managing Director of Worldscale.

“Maritime transport is central to the global economy. ICE, as the leading energy derivatives market, has worked closely with the industry to provide a solution for how the underlying physical freight market, as well as related wet freight derivatives used to hedge freight risk, can comply with the new rules expanding the EU ETS to maritime,” said Jeff Barbuto, Global Head of Oil Markets at ICE.

Worldscale will use the average of the daily settlement price for the period October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024, of ICE’s EUA futures December 2024 contract to calculate the carbon cost used in its 2025 tanker freight flat rates.

ICE offers customers a liquid wet freight futures and options market to manage the price risk associated with shipping oil. Wet freight is closely linked to crude and refined product markets, both of which ICE is a leader in offering derivatives in and are available to trade as part of ICE’s complex of over 800 oil related products including ICE Brent, the price barometer for 75% of the world’s internationally traded crude oil.

ICE’s wet freight futures and options hit a series of open interest records in November 2024 with record open interest of 181,152 contracts on November 22, 2024.

ICE’s EUA carbon benchmark is part of ICE’s extensive environmental markets which are the largest and most liquid in the world for customers to pay for their emissions obligations and manage the associated price risk. Open interest across ICE’s environmental markets is up 28% year-over year while ICE’s wider energy complex is up 20%.
