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.

Orion Expands Investment Solutions Lineup with Addition of SpiderRock Option Overlay SMAs

Orion, a premier provider of transformative wealthtech solutions powering the growth of financial advisors and the enterprise firms that serve them, today announced the addition of SpiderRock Advisors’ option overlay separately managed accounts (SMAs) to its Wealth Advisory platform, expanding the breadth of strategies available to advisors and their clients.

SpiderRock Advisors, a part of BlackRock, provides customized option overlay strategies to investors, combining world-class technology with comprehensive derivatives expertise.

SpiderRock Advisors provides advisors institutional-quality trading, advanced risk management, and a wide range of strategies for concentrated stock, equity portfolios, and fixed income or cash positions.

“We’re pleased to add SpiderRock’s option overlay SMA strategies to the Orion platform, giving advisors new ways to manage risk, generate income, and transition portfolios tax-efficiently,” said Ron Pruitt, President of Orion Wealth Management. “By expanding the lineup of high-quality, professionally managed strategies available on our platform, we continue to equip advisors with the investment solution options they need to deliver flexible, outcome-driven approaches that help their clients achieve their financial goals with confidence.”

SpiderRock employs an active approach to options management that seeks to improve risk-adjusted returns tax-efficiently. SpiderRock’s strategies operate as overlays, meaning they do not require an upfront sale of client holdings. Once enrolled, clients can customize accounts with “no call away” and “strategic liquidation” features that seek to defer capital gains realization throughout the lifecycle of the account. The scale of SpiderRock’s proprietary trading platform then allows SpiderRock to aggregate orders across thousands of accounts to deliver institutional-quality trading and execution.

“Providing access to option overlay strategies for advisors on Orion’s platform will enable greater opportunity for portfolio customization for investors seeking a wide range of investment outcomes. In light of recent market performance, the demand has never been higher for our solutions," said Eric Metz, President and Chief Investment Officer of SpiderRock Advisors. “These strategies have the potential to support income generation, downside protection and concentrated stock risk management in a portfolio as investors navigate an increasingly complex market environment, with an ever-important focus on after-tax outcomes."

Advisors can now leverage SpiderRock SMAs within Orion Wealth Advisory to:

  • Hedge concentrated stock positions
  • Manage risk across equity portfolios
  • Generate income using covered calls, index options, or cash-secured puts
  • Implement tax-efficient portfolio transitions
