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.

Braskem Expands Its Own Fleet with the Vessel Brave Future and Strengthens its Global Logistics Strategy

The second vessel marks the next chapter in the company’s efficiency and competitiveness in international trade

Braskem, (B3: BRKM3, BRKM5, and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK), a global pioneer in large-scale biopolymer production, celebrated the arrival of the Brave Future, its new vessel, today. The start of operations of the approximately R$ 500 million ship, which will operate on the route between the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, marks the expansion of the company’s strategy to increase its logistics autonomy, reduce maritime transport costs, and strengthen global competitiveness. The christening ceremony was held in China at the YAMIC shipyard, the company responsible for building the vessel.

Braskem Welcomes the Brave Future to its Fleet of Ethane Carriers.

Braskem Welcomes the Brave Future to its Fleet of Ethane Carriers.

The ethane carrier has a length of 188 meters, a capacity of 36,000 m³, and is capable of transporting cargo at temperatures as low as -104°C, it was financed by Ocean Yield and will be operated by the Hartmann Reederei. The vessel is equipped with a dual-fuel engine running on bunker oil and ethane. It boasts high fuel efficiency and a propulsion system with CO₂ emissions approximately 40% lower than the average fleet in operation.

“The Brave Future is a strategic asset that expands our autonomy in the area of logistics, which provides greater predictability to operations, and strengthens our position as a global leader in the petrochemical industry,” highlights Hardi Schuck, Director of Braskem Trading & Shipping (BT&S). Before the christening, the vessel underwent sea trials, a rigorous testing phase at sea that evaluates safety, speed, maneuverability, and equipment performance before the start of commercial operations.

With the new vessel, Braskem now has two dedicated ethane carriers – the Brave Future and the Brilliant Future. In 2026, BT&S expects the delivery of four more ships to serve Braskem. This structure reinforces the company’s commitment to innovative, sustainable logistics solutions aligned with the demands of global maritime trade.
