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.

Click-Ins Awarded U.S. Patent for Breakthrough DamagePrint(TM) Technology in Image-Based Damage Identification

OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / Click-Ins, a pioneer in AI-powered vehicle inspection solutions, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has officially granted U.S. Patent No. 12374135B2 for its DamagePrint™ technology - a novel method of creating a unique digital signature of damage from a single image.

Unlike generic "damage detection" patents in the market, Click-Ins' newly granted patent represents deep technology rooted in computer vision, visual intelligence, and criminology, built on nearly a decade of rigorous R&D. The DamagePrint™ system goes beyond detecting dents and scratches - it creates a digital fingerprint of each damage, enabling unmatched precision in matching and comparison across images.

A barrier to competition, a bridge to new industries

  • In car rentals and leasing, DamagePrint™ is the only patented technology capable of qualitatively comparing damages between pick-up and drop-off, setting a high barrier for competitors and protecting Click-Ins' position in the space.
  • In insurance, matching damage signatures provides a critical tool for fraud prevention and claims accuracy.
  • In automotive and logistics, the technology streamlines inspections, lowers costs, and ensures transparency across fleets and dealer networks.
  • Looking ahead, the same approach can extend to homeland security, smart cities, forensics, and vehicle re-identification, where DamagePrint™ could digitize and match other unique physical features.

"This patent is much more than legal protection - it validates the strength of our scientific and algorithmic foundation, which is not easily replicated or replaced by the latest wave of generative AI," said Josh Parsons, CEO of Click-Ins. "Just as fingerprints uniquely identify humans in criminology, DamagePrint™ uniquely identifies damage. That uniqueness is what makes this technology transformative."

Covering any camera or image-capturing device - from smartphones to stationary and automated systems - the patent ensures broad applicability across industries while safeguarding Click-Ins' leadership position. The innovation establishes a formidable technological moat and positions Click-Ins at the forefront of digital inspection intelligence.
