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.

KBRA Comments on the Implications of the EU Trade Agreement for U.S. LNG

As part of the European Union’s (EU) broader REPowerEU strategy to reduce dependence on Russian energy and under the terms of the recently announced U.S.-EU trade agreement, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of U.S. energy over the next three years to meet demand. Abundant low-cost natural gas across the Permian, Eagle Ford, and Haynesville basins—combined with modest liquefaction fees and close proximity to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC)—continue to make U.S. LNG incredibly competitive. While there is currently no impact to KBRA’s portfolio of LNG export facilities due to their contracted nature, future projects could be affected if they seek to monetize merchant cash flows.

While the announcement is a positive development for U.S. natural gas producers, meeting export requirements at this scale presents significant challenges. In 2024, U.S. export capacity totaled 11.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) across eight facilities, predominantly located along the USGC. The Department of Energy (DOE) has authorized a cumulative 55.3 Bcf/d of LNG exports as of June 30, 2025. Several export facilities currently under construction are expected to reach commercial operations date (COD) this year, with additional projects slated to reach COD later this decade. Further, up to eight U.S. LNG export facilities are anticipated to reach final investment decision (FID) by year-end 2025. While this additional capacity will support broader U.S. export goals, many of these facilities are already committed through letters of intent (LOI) or long-term contracts with international offtakers to secure financing. As a result, they are unlikely to have sufficient uncontracted capacity available to fulfill obligations under the recent trade agreement.
