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.

MCT Reports a 15% Decrease in Mortgage Lock Volume Amid Higher Rates

News Source: Mortgage Capital Trading Inc.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, has announced a 15.12% decrease in mortgage lock volume compared to the previous month. The data, reflecting current market dynamics, is available in MCT’s latest report, which offers in-depth analysis and insights for industry professionals and stakeholders.

While the market exhibited relative stability post-election, a clear downtrend in refinance activity was observed as interest rates settled. Heading into the winter months and with a new presidential administration taking office in January, volatility concerns remain a focal point for the industry. Current expectations suggest that mortgage volume will stay low through the early months of the year.

Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director and Head of Trading at MCT, commented on the outlook: “Most lenders have already priced in at least one rate cut in either December or January. Barring unforeseen events, mortgage rates are predicted to remain relatively steady through the winter months.”

Industry forecasts indicate that rates are likely to hold or increase slightly, further dampening refinance activity. With the evolving market landscape, industry professionals are encouraged to stay informed of potential shifts in the coming months.
