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.

Outsourced Trading Improved 83% of Asset Managers’ and Asset Owners’ Investment Performance, According to State Street’s Global Outsourced Trading Market and Outlook Survey

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today released important findings from the firm’s most recent research survey that can be found in a new report, The Outsourced Trading Advantage: Evidence from Early Adopters. The report explores the perceptions and the benefits of outsourced trading, including the experience with outsourced trading providers and future plans.

The survey reveals compelling benefits for those outsourcing some aspect of their trading and its potential to enhance investment performance. Notably, the vast majority of current users, some 85% of respondents from North America and 86% from Europe, report improvements in their investment performance through outsourced trading.

The State Street survey is believed to be the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the industry with approximately 300 asset managers and asset owners from North America, EMEA, the UK, and APAC with AUM from under $30 billion to more than $50 billion.

Through the acquisition of CF Global Trading in February, State Street was able to add significant scale and expertise to the firm’s existing outsourced trading solutions. The firm delivers an enhanced offering to clients across several asset types including foreign exchange, fixed income, equities, exchanged traded derivatives; and supports clients in all major regions with trading desks in Boston, New York, Toronto, London, Lisbon, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

“We have long believed that providing excellent service starts with knowing our market better than anyone else. With this ground-breaking research, we hope to shed light on the emerging move towards outsourced trading and provide clarity regarding the significant benefits it can offer,” said Dan Morgan, head of Portfolio Solutions, State Street. “We are pleased that our expertise has been enhanced with the addition of the CF Global Trading team, now helping us deliver stronger offerings and services to clients.”

Additional key takeaways and findings from the survey include:

  • Current users of outsourced trading consistently report benefits such as increased efficiencies (reported by 55% of current users), reduced costs (reported by 33%), and improved investment performance (more than 80% reported improved investment performance to some degree).
  • Among these early adopters, who report clear and tangible benefits, satisfaction is very high with 79% saying they are either ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’. This rises to 83% in EMEA and 81% among very large funds (those with AUM over $50 billion).
  • Potential users have different views and reservations about outsourced trading compared with actual users. Potential users are most concerned about cost effectiveness (61%), loss of control over trading activities (56%), and a lack of understanding about the benefits of outsourced trading (56%).
  • Flexibility, customization, and technical integration capabilities are key attributes sought in outsourced trading partners. Users view their outsourced trading providers as strategic partners to the business, extending beyond mere transactional support to contribute to the overall efficiency and performance of investment operations.

“The findings from this survey highlight the potential and the real value outsourced trading is bringing to the industry, and we are well-equipped to help clients understand the offering and help with the integration,” said Scott Chace, co-founder of CF Global Trading and head of Trading for Portfolio Solutions at State Street.
