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: Tariffs, government debt and Middle East unrest

Energy Brief Today: Tariffs, government debt and Middle East unrest

By Timothy S. Snyder, Matador Economics

Still a lot of push and pull in the markets, as  tensions heat up again in the Middle East along with a looming price war.

Excessive tariffs can set the stage for a protracted price war, which nobody wants to occur. The problem in the U.S., however, is the nearly $37 trillion debt. The interest alone is crippling. By increasing tariffs, the U.S. is trying to balance trade while working to have the U.S. government work within its means. 

Tensions are escalating in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, as Houthi rebels fired a barrage of missiles and drones toward a U.S. aircraft carrier for the third time in 48 hours. While details are sketchy, it is important that the U.S. is keeping its cool, but our patience is running out.

This aggression from the Houthis … is creating inflationary issues, as ships are once again rerouting away from the reach of the Rebels and that’s adding to the price for goods coming from or through that area.

OPEC+ production increase will apparently move forward, as the Saudi’s fear a price war with the West. They are moving to advance production to increase market share and keep at least dollar levels where they are, to some degree. If they continued to push for a toe-to-toe confrontation with the U.S. the cartel cannot sustain a protracted price war.

Weekly retail fuel prices were posted last night by the EIA as gasoline fell 1.1 cents per gallon and diesel fuel fell 3.3 cpg. This is on the national average category.

Additionally, yesterday’s retail sales numbers came in much lower than expected. The headline month/month number came in +.2% on expectations of +.6%. The year/year number missed as well at +3.1%. January’s year/year number was 4.2%. Slower retail sales are a key economic macro and lean toward predicting consumer confidence. Right now consumers are a bit concerned.

On the weather front, more hot, dry winds will blow from Texas to Missouri today, with snow in the Rockies and the North Central U.S. This front will create conditions for development of severe weather, mostly centered on Iowa. ‘Tis the season!
