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.

MarketAxess Acquires Majority Control of RFQ-hub Holdings LLC

Consortium created to support global expansion of ETF and Derivative RFQ platform

MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: MKTX), the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, today announced the completion of its acquisition of a majority stake in the RFQ-hub platform, a bilateral multi-asset and multi-dealer request for quote (RFQ) platform with a focus on equity and fixed-income listed and OTC derivatives, structured products and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Following the closing, MarketAxess holds approximately a 90% controlling stake in RFQ-hub.

Kat Sweeney, Global Head of Data and ETF Solutions at MarketAxess, commented, “We see immense potential in combining RFQ-hub technology with our global client network. We have been working with the consortium and the RFQ-hub team for over two years and are already experiencing synergistic wins.”

“MarketAxess is focused on supporting and expanding the role of fixed-income ETFs and credit futures, as they become increasingly important tools for our clients to manage their exposure to the fixed-income market and unlock liquidity in the underlying bonds,” she continued.

RFQ-hub is a global derivative and ETF platform that has been operating since 2008. In May 2022, Virtu Financial announced the formation of a consortium, RFQ-hub Holdings LLC, to support the growth of RFQ-hub. In addition to MarketAxess and Virtu, founding consortium members included liquidity providers Citadel Securities, Flow Traders and Jane Street Capital, and asset manager BlackRock. All founding members will retain a minority stake and continue to partner with MarketAxess under the new ownership model.
