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.

Optime Unveils Video2Market, the First Interactive Video-TCMA Platform. Its Partner Demand Automation in a link!

The End of Legacy TCMA. The Rise of Partner Demand Automation.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, September 29, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Optime, the leader in channel marketing automation, today launched Video2Market® (V2M)—a seismic shift in how vendors and partners drive demand. Forget static portals and stale syndication. V2M compresses the entire partner marketing experience into a single, AI-powered link, delivering 77% engagement and real-time leads directly to the partner's representative inbox.

Beyond TCMA: Introducing the Interactive Video Partner Demand Engine

The V2M platform extends beyond channel marketing automation, evolving into Partner Demand Automation. V2M isn't just an upgrade—it's a reinvention, a cutting-edge demand generation engine designed with partner sales in mind. V2M is AI-driven personalization, multi-layer interactive video campaigns, real-time lead delivery, and smart incentives—packaged into a single, powerful link.

"Partner marketing has long been stuck in static campaign portals," said Maria Martin, CEO and Founder of Optime. V2M flips that model, giving the sales rep a voice, a reward, and a real reason to share."

"V2M is a game-changer for Optime and our customers. It's driving an unparalleled level of innovation across our entire industry," said Claudio Ayub, Chief Revenue Officer at Optime. "No other company is delivering this kind of platform, ecosystem and user experience to enable companies to transform themselves and engage with their partners and customers in entirely new ways" continued Ayub.

Unlike legacy TCMA, which relies on static campaign syndication, V2M empowers both vendors and partners with actionable insights, such as demand sensing and buying groups engagement —driving higher adoption, accelerated growth, and stronger business relationships.

What Makes V2M Different?
