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.

Memecoins Under Fire as Bitcoin Lull Revives Memories of 2018, Analysts Urge Caution

Latest in Memecoins

NEW YORK, NY, April 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As Bitcoin struggles to break the $100,000 mark, some experts are drawing parallels to the market's stagnant period in 2018, with memecoins once again under intense scrutiny. Attendees at the Consensus event were vocal in their concerns, calling memecoins a net negative for the broader cryptocurrency market. Many believe that the rise of these meme-driven tokens risks overshadowing more serious projects and could hurt the industry's reputation. Some investors and analysts also expressed disappointment that the anticipated approval of ETFs tied to major altcoins has yet to materialize, fueling uncertainty in the market.

Barry Silbert, founder of Digital Currency Group (DCG), is among those who have expressed concern about the impact of memecoins on the broader crypto ecosystem. While he recognizes that memecoins have brought attention to the crypto market, Silbert warns that their speculative nature could undermine the credibility of more stable, use-case-driven projects. He emphasizes that the industry must prioritize long-term value and transparency in order to prevent a repeat of the speculative frenzy that occurred in 2018. Silbert believes that while the memecoin craze can generate short-term interest, it will ultimately lead to regulatory challenges and potentially costly lawsuits if not properly addressed.

Another prominent figure, Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, has also voiced concern over the negative impact that meme-driven projects may have on the crypto space. Armstrong, a strong advocate for regulatory clarity and mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, has stated that while innovative projects are necessary, the focus should be on building sustainable value. He suggests that projects centered around memecoins contribute little to the long-term growth of the industry, and as the market faces a lull, these speculative assets may contribute to unnecessary volatility. Armstrong urges that stakeholders within the space, including exchanges and regulators, work to remove projects that do not provide tangible benefits, calling for a stronger focus on fostering genuine blockchain innovation.

The continued rise of memecoins and their growing presence in the crypto market have raised questions about their true impact. Some market analysts argue that the focus on these tokens, while often entertaining, detracts from the serious advancements being made in other sectors of the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries. As more regulatory frameworks are developed and clarity around the approval of ETFs tied to top altcoins is sought, there is increasing pressure for the market to mature and move away from speculative, meme-driven projects.

In addition to market concerns, the looming possibility of legal action against certain projects has fueled speculation that some memecoins could face lawsuits or regulatory pushback in the near future. As the SEC begins to crack down on projects that violate securities laws, it is likely that memecoins, with their lack of clear utility, could be among the first to be targeted. The growing scrutiny has led some industry insiders to suggest that the heads of certain memecoin projects may be forced to resign to avoid further damage to their reputations or legal action.
