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.

BlackRock Expands Active ETF Platform with Launch of a Global Government Bond Hedged ETF

By: via Business Wire

Offers investors an actively managed, globally diversified portfolio of government bonds with a built-in USD hedge

Today, BlackRock announced the launch of the iShares Global Government Bond USD Hedged Active ETF (NYSE: GGOV), the industry’s first hedged government bond active ETF1, designed to help investors access a globally diversified portfolio of government bonds.

"USD-hedged global government bonds have historically generated higher yields with lower volatility compared to comparable US-only bond indices,”2 said Tom Becker, Lead Portfolio Manager of GGOV. “Through the convenience of the ETF wrapper, GGOV aims to deliver our durable active investment process with this differentiated global benchmark. We believe that GGOV will be an important tool for many US asset allocators in the current environment of elevated inflation, large budget deficits, and rising issuance.”

The global diversification across sovereign issuers in GGOV may help investors mitigate the rising exposures and risks of long dated US Treasuries within many fixed income allocations. GGOV uses a currency hedge on the non-US bonds that seeks to raise the yield on those exposures when US policy rates are elevated relative to global peers and aims to lower overall portfolio risk.

Managed by the BlackRock Global Tactical Asset Allocation team, the Fund seeks to offer a more diversified alternative to conventional US-centric bond allocations and provides a similar combination of systematic and discretionary active management found in the BlackRock Tactical Opportunities Fund (PBAIX). The investment process leverages the team’s macroeconomic expertise and proven alpha generation across $50B in global assets.

Disclosures

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses or, if available, the summary prospectuses, which may be obtained by visiting the iShares Fund and BlackRock Fund prospectus pages. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Fund may have a higher portfolio turnover than funds that seek to replicate the performance of an index.

Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the value of debt securities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the debt issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments.

International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments. These risks often are heightened for investments in emerging/developing markets or in concentrations of single countries.

The Fund's use of derivatives may reduce the Fund's returns and/or increase volatility and subject the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The Fund could suffer losses related to its derivative positions because of a possible lack of liquidity in the secondary market and as a result of unanticipated market movements, which losses are potentially unlimited. There can be no assurance that the Fund's hedging transactions will be effective.

Funds that concentrate investments in specific industries, sectors, markets or asset classes may underperform or be more volatile than other industries, sectors, markets or asset classes than the general securities market.

There is no guarantee that interest rate risk will be reduced or eliminated within the Fund.

Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or loss of principal.

Buying and selling shares of ETFs may result in brokerage commissions.

The strategies discussed are strictly for illustrative and educational purposes and are not a recommendation, offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or to adopt any investment strategy. There is no guarantee that any strategies discussed will be effective.
