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.

Energy Brief Today: The OPEC+ and Russia/Ukraine push-pull on oil prices

Energy Brief Today: The OPEC+ and Russia/Ukraine push-pull on oil prices

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

This morning’s stories driving activity across our markets are: “OPEC+ production reduction program continuation” and “Russian/Ukrainian ceasefire talks and the leaks that are hurting negotiations”.

These will push and pull at prices, guaranteeing a continuation of the sideways trade for crude oil and their products. Remember, we are ticking closer every day to the change for the “Summer Blends of gasoline” which always increases the price for retail gasoline from 20 to 25 cents per gallon. 

It would be nice to see some progress on the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and it needs to happen to cut a couple of layers of risk off current prices. There are forces souring the progress, however, including leakage of confidential details of U.S. plans to assist.

Additionally, OPEC+ is losing ground from a market share standpoint. Production from non OPEC+ countries is growing as the cartel continues to try to manipulate the price of crude oil by restricting production. This tactic works for the short term, but for an organization whose primary focus is to control market share, it loses ground when demand expands; a slippery slope for OPEC+.

Friday’s Baker Hughes Rig Count showed U.S. E&P companies only added one crude oil rig and one natural rig the previous week, as miscellaneous rigs and offshore remained unchanged on the week. Current totals are: Total Rigs 588, crude oil rigs 481, natural gas rigs 101, miscellaneous rigs 6 and Offshore rigs are at 14.

U.S. Winter Weather: Here comes bitter cold and a wintery mess across the central half of the country. I’m sure you have seen the map, but it is one for the ages as yet another polar vortex plunges into the southern U.S. pushing temps into the cellar for more than half of the country.

This week’s temps are reminiscent of the “Grid-Freeze” of Valentines day in 2021 and will push prices to dangerously low levels for the next 48+ hours. Remember this, things tend to not work at optimum levels when you have 11 degree temps across the Permian Basin. 

Remember the “Three P’s” to check on: People. Pets. Pipes.  This polar vortex is already a deadly storm!
