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: Iran’s crude-oil shipments to China are rebounding

Energy Brief Today: Iran's crude-oil shipments to China are rebounding

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

Over the first month of the new Trump administration, markets have been stuck in a push-pull trading pattern, leading to no real direction. The initial exuberance over the re-election of President Trump has been bogged down by concerns over supposed fixing the waste, fraud and corruption of government spending.

We understand the angst, but there is an underlying uneasiness that has markets moving with greater caution. We expect this to continue for a bit, before we resume a more “bullish” posture.

A story in Oilprice.com by Irina Slav, titled “Iranian Oil Exports to China Rebound,” reports Iranian shipments of crude oil to China have rebounded after a U.S. crackdown. The Trump administration believes profits from the sale of crude oil to China will help fund Iran’s nuclear program and accelerate as oil shipments accelerate.

According to Slav “the Trump administration has threatened to return to the maximum pressure approach of Trump’s first term in a bid to force Iran to give up developing a nuclear weapon. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the target is to squeeze Iranian oil exports to a tenth of their current levels.”

According to preliminary data from Kpler cited by Bloomberg, the figure is an 86% increase from January flows.

Loopholes in the sanctions have led to China and Iran finding ways around them, using new non-sanctioned terminals and ships to make the trade. These loopholes need to be closed and stop the theater that is most likely going to allow Iran to complete its development of its nuclear weapon capabilities.

Last night’s EIA report on “Retail On-Highway Fuel Prices” showed a weekly increase of 2.0 cents per gallon in gasoline and an increase of 1.2 cents per gallon for diesel fuel, both national averages. This week’s reports are delayed because of the Presidents Day federal holiday on Monday.

The freeze is pushing from the Northern U.S. border deep into the Texas Rio Grande Valley with extremely cold temps. It’s 12 degrees in Dallas while the system will hit deep moisture as it moves east toward the Mid-Atlantic states. Brrrr…..
