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.

ICE Invests in Product and Pricing Innovation, Introduces Newly Enhanced ICE PPE and Advisory Group

By: via Business Wire

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced investments focused on growing its mortgage secondary market offerings and enhancing the Encompass digital lending platform’s native product and pricing engine. ICE has dedicated resources to driving a robust roadmap of features and improvements for ICE PPE (formerly EPPS) and secondary market innovation, informed by the regular, ongoing input of the elite group of lenders making up the ICE PPE Advisory Group.

Encompass users already have native access to thousands of loan products and a robust network of investors, wholesale lenders, and state and local housing authorities via ICE PPE. Taking product and pricing to the next level is key to ICE’s commitment to improve housing finance through digitization and provide the mortgage secondary market with the technology, systems, and insight needed to navigate and hedge against a turbulent interest rate environment.

“I talk with mortgage industry professionals every day, and one thing they’ve made crystal clear is a pressing, growing need for a stable, accurate, well-capitalized loan product and pricing engine,” said ICE president Ben Jackson. “With so much uncertainty in the market, lenders need to be able to rely on comprehensive and timely product pricing and eligibility. Margins have been compressed to historic lows, and we want to help our clients be in the best position to hold on to every possible basis point.

“To meet that need, ICE is investing significantly to dramatically enhance ICE PPE within our Encompass lending platform, and we are actively engaging with a select group of industry leaders as we chart the best course forward. Together with ICE’s expertise in building and operating digital, transaction-based networks, and our proven playbook of increasing efficiencies through digitization, it’s this collaborative approach that will trigger the next great stage of evolution for PPEs and secondary market hedging platforms.”

ICE PPE will provide enhanced automation and configuration capabilities with streamlined support for custom loan programs and overlays. As part of ICE’s overall mission to streamline and simplify housing finance, the company is committed to delivering a highly performant, intuitive solution that integrates seamlessly with Encompass and the wider ICE housing finance digital ecosystem. To support this product evolution, ICE is actively expanding the associated product development, solutions engineering and support resource teams with experienced industry professionals.

The ICE PPE Advisory Group is composed of leading mortgage lenders – including both users of Encompass’ product pricing capabilities as well as those who employ other available pricing engines. Beginning with a kickoff at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Secondary Marketing conference in May, the advisory group will continue to meet regularly to identify common challenges and find solutions to pricing and other problems faced by lenders and those in the secondary and capital markets.
