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: Tamer inflation, calmer oil prices

Energy Brief Today: Tame inflation, calmer oil prices

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

This morning’s CPI report showed inflation improvement. The month-over-month number showed prices rose .2% on expectation of +.3%, and year over year showed +2.8% on expectations of +2.9%. Core CPI came in +.2% vs. economists expectation of +.3% on the month and +3.1% on expectations of +3.2% year over year. Top to bottom, these numbers show improvement in the inflation picture.

Oil prices are settling down a tad, as demand looks to remain sound. There is a story from Irina Slav in Oilprice.com titled, “Oil Prices Rebound on Resilient Demand Signals” that suggests “crude oil prices inched higher after starting the week with sharp losses, amid reports of rebounding Asian imports and a weaker dollar that should stimulate stronger demand.”

Even with a build in crude oil inventories, as posted from last night’s API report, gasoline posted a strong draw in inventories. Slav wrote that the head of the International Energy Agency has apparently had a serious 180 degree change of heart, as he is no longer lamenting the end of the oil boom, in terms of “peak oil demand,” and is now touting the expansion of demand in the U.S. and around the globe.

This counters the Oilprice.com headline story suggesting the U.S. may be losing ground pushing LNG, as there may be a negative impact on aggregate demand for fossil fuels because of geopolitics and more. This is a weak thesis, assuming the “kingship of China” in global energy trade. I say don’t bet against the U.S. E&Ps and U.S. Service companies!

Last night’s API report showed a build in crude oil inventories of 4.247 million barrels, but a draw of 4.560 million barrels in gasoline. The distillates posted a build of 421,000 barrels and Cushing, Oklahoma, saw a draw of 1.196 million barrels.

U.S. winter weather

Spring weather is known for transitions, and today’s spring-like weather will have snow in the Rockies, Red Flag warnings in West Texas and eastern New Mexico and the possibility of severe weather from east Texas and moving east, otherwise mostly calm from the Southeast to New England.
