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.

OCEAN Restoring Bitcoin Mining Decentralization

--News Direct--

OCEAN, a leader in Bitcoin mining-pool innovation, is proud to announce the launch of DATUM (Decentralized Alternative Templates for Universal Mining), a revolutionary decentralized mining protocol designed to restore the original ethos of Bitcoin mining. DATUM empowers miners to reclaim control over block template construction, ensuring the Bitcoin network remains secure, decentralized, and resistant to centralization threats such as financial censorship.

OCEAN’s lead investor and decentralization advocate Jack Dorsey applauded the news saying “Continued decentralization and permissionless mining are essential for Bitcoin’s long term health. OCEAN's latest innovation with DATUM makes decentralization easier for modern miners."

What is DATUM?

Bitcoin mining has drifted from its decentralized origins. Today, large mining pools dominate the creation of block templates—the structure that determines which transactions are included in a block. This concentration of power undermines the security and legitimacy of the Bitcoin network. DATUM changes that by giving individual miners, not pools, the ability to construct their own block templates while still participating in a pool for consistent rewards.

Similar to Stratum V2 (Sv2), DATUM is designed to decentralize block construction and restore control to individual miners. Jason Hughes, VP of Engineering at OCEAN and author of the DATUM codebase, commented “DATUM is a leap forward in decentralized mining, making true mining available for everyone with as little friction as possible. It enables miners to be actual solo miners and to do all of the things miners were always intended to do for the Bitcoin network, while still reducing their variance through pooled rewards. The codebase is written in C. It is extremely lightweight and portable so it can easily run alongside a Bitcoin full node.”

Why Does This Matter?

With large pools now controlling more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, the network faces a serious centralization risk. This raises the possibility of transaction censorship, weakening the very foundation of Bitcoin. DATUM provides a solution by decentralizing block construction, helping to prevent 51% attacks and ensuring Bitcoin remains a free and open system.

"The launch of DATUM is a pivotal moment for the Bitcoin mining community. We’re moving block creation back to the individual miners, just as it was intended in the original whitepaper," said Luke Dashjr, Co-founder of OCEAN. "With DATUM, we’re ensuring the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network, safeguarding its future."

About OCEAN:

OCEAN is dedicated to advancing the decentralization of Bitcoin mining through innovative technology and cutting-edge solutions. With a focus on preserving Bitcoin’s original principles, OCEAN is committed to creating a secure, sustainable, and decentralized mining ecosystem.
