About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Western Midstream Partners, Enbridge and Plains Announce Cactus II Pipeline Transaction

HOUSTON, Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: WES) (“WES”), Enbridge Inc. (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) (“Enbridge”), and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAA, PAGP) (“Plains”), today announced that certain of their subsidiaries closed a transaction whereby Enbridge and Plains purchased WES’s 15% interest in Cactus II Pipeline, LLC (“Cactus II”) for an aggregate amount of $265 million. Enbridge acquired 10% and Plains acquired 5% of Cactus II, with each paying a proportionate share of the purchase price. Plains and Enbridge are now the sole owners of Cactus II, with 70% and 30% respective ownership interests. Plains will continue to serve as operator.

The Cactus II pipeline is a 26-inch diameter, 670,000 barrel-per-day oil pipeline that extends from the Delaware basin in West Texas to Corpus Christi, with further connectivity to the Ingleside area. Cactus II, in combination with Enbridge’s Ingleside Energy Center, provides a premier and industry-leading solution to deliver abundant, responsibly produced North American energy supplies to the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and global markets.

“We are pleased to announce the divestiture of our interest in Cactus II to our former operating partners, Plains and Enbridge. This transaction demonstrates our disciplined approach in evaluating our portfolio, focusing on our core gathering and processing businesses in the Delaware and DJ Basins, and returning value to our unitholders,” stated Michael Ure, Chief Executive Officer of Western.

“Today’s announcement is another important step in advancing our USGC strategy to connect growing Permian production to global export markets,” said Colin Gruending, President Liquids Pipelines and Executive Vice President of Enbridge Inc. "The Cactus II pipeline specifically adds to our advantaged light oil integrated value chain providing low-cost access to the best markets for our shippers.”

“We’re pleased to reach this agreement with Western Midstream and further strengthen our relationship with Enbridge,” said Willie Chiang, Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This is another example of our continued focus on optimizing our portfolio and creating mutually beneficial transactions for all involved. We appreciate Western’s partnership over the years and look forward to continuing to work with Enbridge.”
