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.

Powerledger’s TraceX Introduces Forwards Feature to Bring Price Certainty and Automation to REC Trading

By: Zexprwire

Zug, Switzerland, 1st March 2025, ZEX PR WIRETraceX, the leading REC trading marketplace by Powerledger, is transforming the way Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are traded with the launch of its Forwards feature. This new functionality brings price stability, risk reduction, and financial certainty to buyers, generators, and brokers—eliminating the inefficiencies of traditional REC markets.

Solving market challenges with a Digital First approach

REC trading has historically been complex and fragmented, with manual processes, extensive Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and counterparty risks that create uncertainty for all market participants. TraceX’s Forwards feature digitizes and streamlines REC transactions, providing greater security, automation, and transparency in every trade.

Key benefits of TraceX Forwards for market participants

  • For Buyers: Lock in REC prices in advance, mitigating market volatility and financial risk.

  • For Energy Generators: Gain predictable revenue and improve financial planning with greater certainty.

  • For Brokers & Traders: Deliver better pricing structures for clients, drive sales growth, and enhance revenue forecasting.

How TraceX Forwards works

TraceX’s Forwards feature automates and simplifies forward REC trading by ensuring:

  • Automated KYC & Counterparty Verification:TraceX conducts thorough verification of participant details, while also allowing participants to perform KYC and additional checks as needed.

  • Binding Contracts: Once both parties complete KYC, contracts become binding, eliminating last-minute withdrawals and reducing transaction uncertainty.

  • Real-Time Notifications: Timely notifications remind sellers to import and assign RECs while ensuring buyers maintain a sufficient balance for transactions.

  • Standardized Terms & Conditions: Ensuring only serious participants engage by requiring acceptance of standardised terms which eliminates the need for individual contracts, creating a transparent and efficient marketplace while reducing default risk.

  • Automated REC Settlement: Trades are automatically triggered on the settlement date, with RECs and payments securely transferred between buyers and sellers

“With Forwards, we’re bringing certainty and efficiency to the REC market. By eliminating manual processes, reducing counterparty risks, and enabling customers to lock in long term REC pricing, we empower buyers, generators, and brokers to trade with confidence,” said Fiona Tiller, CEO of TraceX by Powerledger.

This latest innovation cements TraceX’s position as the go-to platform for seamless, secure, and transparent REC trading.
