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.

Stellux Redefines Brokerage Technology with Integrated White Label Platform for Speed and Multi-Asset Trading in 2025

White label solutions are the standard for new brokers entering the CFD and forex markets. Most rely on MetaTrader 4 (MT4), a platform built for trade execution, excelling in order processing and charting but outsourcing operational functions like CRM and payments to third parties. This “patchwork” model, where providers stitch MT4 with disparate systems, often leads to compatibility issues, prolonged deployment, and reduced efficiency.

This article compares Stellux’s integrated solution with the traditional MT4 patchwork approach, offering clear guidance for brokers’ technology decisions in 2025.

Stellux vs. MT4: A Comprehensive Comparison

1. Core Architecture: Native Integration vs. Post-Hoc Assembly

  • Stellux features a native, integrated architecture with in-house trading core, terminal, CRM, payment, and IB systems. Unified data structures and protocols ensure seamless data flow, enabling advanced features like trade-data-driven CRM for client lifecycle management.
  • MT4 Patchwork combines MT4’s core with third-party software. Lacking native interfaces for modern CRM, multi-tier IB, or payment reconciliation, it relies on limited APIs, causing sync delays and functional constraints.

2. Trading Terminal: Extensible Functionality vs. Core Constraints

  • Stellux Trader offers a flexible terminal with TradingView chart integration, supporting hundreds of indicators. It enables multi-asset trading (forex, commodities, indices, equities, cryptocurrencies) with isolated and cross margin modes, one-click BBO execution, and full market depth for near-institutional trading.


  • MT4 is known for its classic interface and robust EA ecosystem, but its dated UI and basic charting limit support for non-forex assets. Plugins for advanced features compromise stability compared to native systems.

3. Back-Office & Risk Management: High Autonomy vs. Standardized Configuration

  • Stellux Core supports multi-brand operations and customizable account groups with over 20 parameters (e.g., margins, spreads, leverage). Unique tools include dynamic A/B-Book routing for automated order flow based on trader behavior and short-term close monitoring to flag scalping within five minutes.
  • MT4 provides basic back-office tools. Advanced risk controls or multi-brand setups require third-party plugins, introducing latency and potential failure points.

4. Ecosystem & Native Tools: Ready-to-Use vs. Integration-Dependent

  • Stellux delivers a complete ecosystem with native CRM for sales funnel analytics, Stellux Pay for fiat/crypto transactions with smart routing, and Stellux IB for multi-tier rebate structures, eliminating external integrations.
  • MT4 lacks native CRM, payment, or IB systems, requiring third-party integrations that risk synchronization issues and higher maintenance costs.

5. Deployment & Time-to-Market: Agile vs. Lengthy

  • Stellux provides SaaS or on-premises deployment, enabling testing in three days and full branded launch in a week, ideal for rapid market entry.
  • MT4 deployment involves multi-vendor coordination, often taking weeks or months due to server setup and integration complexities.

Feature Comparison Summary

Why Choose Stellux in 2025?

MT4 remains reliable for forex-focused brokers, but its fragmented ecosystem struggles with modern demands for multi-asset trading, compliance, and streamlined operations. Stellux offers an integrated, scalable platform that accelerates market entry, lowers costs, and ensures regulatory adherence.

By unifying trading, risk, CRM, and payment modules, Stellux enables brokers to deliver superior trader experiences without juggling multiple vendors. For CFD brokers aiming for resilience and agility in 2025’s competitive landscape, Stellux combines speed, flexibility, and innovation.
