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.

Enterprise and ONEOK Extend Terminal Transfer Fee Waiver for ICE Midland WTI (HOU) Crude Deliveries to the End of 2028

By: via Business Wire

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced that Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) and ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE) have extended their fee waiver arrangement between the Enterprise Crude Houston (ECHO) and ONEOK East Houston (MEH) terminals to transfer crude oil delivered through ICE’s Midland WTI futures contract (ICE: HOU) until December 31, 2028.

“In 2024, crude producers, refiners and exporters moved more of their pricing and hedging away from a WTI Cushing Basis to ICE Midland WTI (HOU), while price reporting agencies have launched new assessments which price all North American crude grades as differentials to HOU,” said Jeff Barbuto, Global Head of Oil Markets at ICE. "Physical deliveries of ICE Midland WTI were twice that of the Cushing WTI contract in 2024. Extending the fee waiver through 2028 provides the industry with added incentive to migrate crude pricing to the U.S. Gulf Coast via ICE HOU."

If customers take an HOU futures position to delivery, buyers can submit a preferred delivery terminal to the seller who governs the delivery terminal selection of MEH or ECHO. If the buyer’s preferred terminal was not selected, it can transfer the crude oil delivered against HOU between the two terminals at no cost. The waiver also applies to customers who take delivery of HOU via ICE’s Exchange for Physical (EFP) and Alternative Delivery Procedure (ADP) mechanisms. If the buyer executes an EFP or ADP with a seller at a non-preferred terminal, the buyer may transfer the barrels to the other terminal at no cost so long as they provide proof of the EFP or ADP to ONEOK or Enterprise. Currently, a 10-cent per barrel charge is applied for all other transfers of HOU-quality WTI between the ECHO and MEH terminals.

Over 82 million barrels were delivered through the exchange delivery mechanism for HOU in 2024. EFPs are also heavily traded as they provide customers with the flexibility to deliver barrels to different locations and have accommodating delivery dates. A total of 5.5 million HOU futures traded in 2024 with average daily volume of 21,000 contracts.

ICE has seen a significant endorsement of HOU as the price of Midland crude, with Continental Resources switching a portion of its Permian production to price off of HOU, replacing a differential to WTI Cushing. Similarly, in recognition of HOU's establishment within Midland WTI pricing, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, launched a daily price assessment of Midland WTI crude as a differential to HOU, effective January 22, 2025. This follows General Index’s launch of a full suite of all North American Crude grades priced as differentials to HOU, also replacing WTI Cushing as a benchmark.

ICE offers HOU time spreads, as well as inter-commodity spreads with Brent and WTI Cushing (Domestic Sweet) to help customers mitigate price risk between locations and grades. Meanwhile, customers can benefit from margin offsets as high as 98% when clearing HOU alongside other oil positions cleared at ICE. Offsets are available across a range of over 800 oil contracts including ICE Brent, ICE Gasoil, ICE WTI (Cushing), ICE Dubai (Platts) and ICE Murban, as well as NY Harbor RBOB Gasoline and Heating Oil.

ICE is home to the most liquid energy markets in the world to manage risk exposure. A record 1 billion energy derivatives contracts traded on ICE in 2024, including a record 655 million oil futures and options contracts.
