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.

State Street’s Fund Connect ETF Executes First Application Programming Interface (API) Order in Australian-Domiciled ETF

Milestone underscores continued global expansion of Fund Connect ETF’s API capabilities

State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced a significant milestone for its Fund Connect ETF platform, completing the first Authorized Participant (AP) creation/redemption order via API for an Australian-domiciled ETF.

This achievement marks the continued global expansion of Fund Connect ETF’s API capabilities, which are now available for AP order entry across all major markets via FIX and XML protocols. The automation of AP order flow through APIs enables greater efficiency, scalability, and operational resilience—particularly as ETF trading volumes continue to grow.

“Executing our first API order in an Australian-domiciled ETF is a clear signal of how far the industry has come in embracing automation,” said Lori Coakley, Head of Fund Connect ETF at State Street. “We’re proud to support our clients with the infrastructure they need to scale efficiently and meet the demands of a growing market.”

Fund Connect ETF has 6 ETF issuers and 6 APs live on the platform, with more to come. The Australian ETF market grew nearly 40% in 2024, reaching a record AUD 180 billion in assets under management, according to the Global X Australian ETF Market Scoop. As trading activity intensifies, the need for automated, high-throughput infrastructure has become increasingly critical for market participants.

“We’re excited to bring this level of automation to the Australian ETF ecosystem,” said Ahmed Ibrahim, Head of ETF solutions APAC at State Street. “This first API order is a meaningful step forward in our regional strategy, and we’re already working with additional APs and issuers to expand adoption and deliver even greater operational efficiency.”

Fund Connect ETF is a global trading portal that facilitates primary market ETF activity for Authorized Participants and issuers. Supporting a wide range of ETF structures and asset classes, the platform is integrated with leading custodians, fund administrators, and market makers. Its API suite enables real-time order entry, status updates, and lifecycle event management—offering APs a seamless, automated experience that reduces manual touchpoints and enhances operational workflows.
