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: Houthi attacks disrupt shipping again

Energy Brief Today: Houthi attacks disrupt shipping again

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

Markets are tense early this morning after a weekend of severe weather and attacks on U.S. shipping and warships by the Houthis. We’re watching several “tripwires.”

Over the weekend, the Houthi rebels out of Yemen launched ballistic missiles and drone attacks against shipping in the Red Sea and on U.S. warships currently in place to keep the seas safe. Once again, everything being transported by ship heading to the U.S. is now being rerouted, and we’ll see increasing costs due to rerouting for safety.

The U.S. did respond to these attacks, but it is obvious the Iranians are providing missiles and funding to the Houthis and prodding this conflict to expand and make a big hit on U.S. interests. This is a developing story.

Goldman Sachs analysts have cut the price forecast for crude oil as expectations of slowing U.S. economic activity dampens demand. With the Fed meeting the next two days, there is speculation Fed officials may be anticipating an economic slow-down. The problem is the Fed has been leading from behind, and seldom do they step in ahead of a calamity to alter an economic trajectory. 

With OPEC likely adding back production, even if slowly, the pressure on prices will increase, and we should see the price for crude oil drop. We’re not expecting a crippling drop, but we are expecting to see prices continue to ease.

U.S. winter weather

As was expected, we had a very unsettled weekend with incredible winds, dust storms, heavy rains, hail and tornados. There have been at least 40 deaths due to the severe weather. The Central and Southeastern U.S. were in the bullseye, and this morning there are very cold temperatures and frost across the area. The Central Plains are now under Red Flag Warnings with very dry and cold temps.

The severe weather ran from near Chicago and moved southeast to the Atlantic. Severe thunderstorms weren’t the only dangerous weather, as the remnants of a massive dust storm rolled from the eastern slopes of the Rockies and southeast, bringing dust and fire weather into New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, and Oklahoma. It’s going to be a tumultuous spring.
