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 top 5 oil exploration prospects in 2025

Energy Brief Today: The top 5 oil exploration prospects in 2025

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

This morning we got the second read on the 2024 Q-4 GDP and it came in as expected at +2.3%. We also got January’s durable goods Orders, which came hotter at +3.1% on expectations of +2.0%. If we strip out automobiles, the numbers were flat at +0.3%. Core cap goods came in hotter as well at +0.8% on expectations of +0.3%.

Remember 70% of this metric comes from consumer activity; this is a good sign for the U.S. economy!

A top story in Oilprice.com from Gerald Jansen is titled, “The Top 5 Oil Exploration Prospects of 2025.” The story tells us the largest exploration and production companies — Chevron, ExxonMobil and Total Energies — have projects in Kuwait, Suriname, Cyprus, Libya and South Africa.

Notice the U.S. is not on this list. Most of last year’s finds were smaller, as there were 120 discoveries in 2024, lighter than in previous years. Jansen also mentioned Norway is working to open back up its Barents Sea resources.

The United States has now achieved mobile nuclear energy capabilities with Nano Nuclear Energy mounting a modular nuclear power plant on a semi-trailer truck and dispatching it to an undisclosed location. The rig will provide supplemental energy for an undisclosed project.

While this is not the first instance of a modular nuclear power plant, previous use cases were limited to U.S. Naval vessels. This marks a new era in meeting growing energy demands.

The Energy Information Administration’s report yesterday indicated a decrease of 2.3 million barrels, contrasting with the American Petroleum Institute’s reported draw of only 640,000 barrels. Crude-oil production stands at 13.502 million barrels per day, marking an increase of 5,000 barrels per day.

This figure falls only 129,000 barrels short of the U.S. record established last year. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve remained unchanged throughout the week. Should the price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil continue to stay below $70 per barrel, anticipate the replenishment of the reserve to recommence.

U.S. winter weather

Yesterday’s springlike weather across the East Coast is replaced with more cold and an Alberta Clipper that will drop temps in NYC back to seasonal ranges. It looks like the groundhog was on target with his prediction, as winter sticks around just a little bit longer!
