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.

ZEXPIRE Opens Presale for ZX Token in Step with Rising 0DTE Adoption Across Markets

By: Zexprwire

ZEXPIRE began the presale of its native token, ZX, on September 1 at an initial price of $0.003 per token, marking the lowest tier in a multi-round pricing structure that rises incrementally. Spanning 200 rounds, the presale increases by 1.07% at each stage, giving early participants access at the most favorable entry levels with potential upside if demand continues to build.

The presale launch accompanies the introduction of ZEXPIRE’s decentralized finance protocol, a one-click platform for 0DTE (zero-day-to-expiry) prediction markets. Positions expire the same day they are opened, allowing traders to target intraday volatility with fixed-risk participation and no leverage or margin requirements.

In practice, users select an asset, define a price range and time window, and purchase a ticket with ZX tokens. If the asset moves beyond the chosen range, the payout increases with the size of the breakout.

The growing adoption of 0DTE trading in traditional markets underscores this timing. According to Bloomberg, S&P 500 same-day contracts accounted for 51% of options volume in the final quarter of 2024, rising to 61% in daily volume this year.

While equities have seen two years of rapid adoption since the CBOE first launched daily-expiry contracts in 2022, crypto has only recently begun developing similar markets. Deribit’s total options volume reached $743 billion in 2024, nearly doubling year-over-year, demonstrating clear demand for short-term instruments.

Several platforms already exist in the on-chain 0DTE and options space. One of the largest players, Limitless Exchange on Base offers ultra-short-term speculation tools and boasts $250 million in trading volume. Opt.fun delivers one-minute options and users can access up to 1,000× leverage, catering to a niche crowd where risk is less of a concern.

ZEXPIRE separates itself by focusing on two key elements: simplicity and safety. There is no leverage that can blow out an entire account, no complicated jargon that even expert investors do not understand, and no confusing charts with bars and lines running in all directions. Instead, ZEXPIRE is the first protocol to offer a volatility-prediction tool in DeFi.

More About ZX and Its Presale 

ZX functions as a utility token within the ZEXPIRE ecosystem. Holders can access fee discounts, cashback on lost trades, staking rewards, and governance rights. The model is further supported by a deflationary mechanism, where a portion of platform fees is used to buy back and burn tokens, gradually reducing supply over time.

Accessibility remains a central focus. Presale purchases can be made across multiple networks including Ethereum-compatible chains, Base, Solana, TON, and TRON. Wallet integrations support MetaMask and WalletConnect, while traditional payment methods such as credit and debit cards are also accepted.

All presale tokens are automatically staked upon purchase, earning up to 15% APR until they unlock after listing. A six-month lock-up period applies, after which tokens are released gradually to support market stability and align long-term participation. Early buyers are also eligible for a community airdrop to be distributed following the platform’s launch.

ZX has a total fixed supply of five billion tokens, distributed across staking, presale, development, and ecosystem growth. The largest allocations include 25% for staking and rewards, 20% for the presale, and 10% each for team, liquidity, development, and treasury. Smaller shares are reserved for advisors, strategic partners, and community incentives.

What’s Next for ZEXPIRE?

In Q3 2025, the project plans to release a demo version of its user interface. This stage will also introduce auto-staking, enable multi-chain payments on Base and Ethereum, and launch the first version of the referral system.

By Q4 2025, development is expected to progress to the deployment of smart contracts on Base, alongside expanded platform features such as ticket history and referral panels. Users will also gain the ability to open and close positions at any time. The same period is earmarked for ZEXPIRE’s first marketing activations, including community AMAs and partnerships intended to support broader adoption.

These foundations set the stage for 2026, when the ZX token is scheduled to list on decentralized exchanges and additional trading strategies, such as Range Breakout and directional options, will go live. The buy-back engine and cashback system are also planned for activation during this phase. 

Later in the year, ZEXPIRE aims to transition toward DAO governance, launch a strategy marketplace and loyalty program, and introduce NFT-based rewards. Expansion of the ecosystem is expected to continue with a mobile application, analytics and leaderboard modules, and cross-chain connections to TON, Solana, Tron, and Arbitrum.

About ZEXPIRE and ZX Token 

Zexpire is a 0DTE (zero-day-to-expiry) DeFi prediction market that turns intraday volatility into a fixed-risk, one-click experience with zero leverage or liquidations. ZX is the platform’s utility token; the presale is live across 200 staged rounds with incremental price increases that reward early investment. Presale tokens auto-stake until the TGE scheduled for Q1 2026 and investors can receive up to 15% APR. The protocol intends to support long-term value through a treasury-funded buyback-and-burn mechanism.
