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.

Will Buy Now, Pay Later Take Over the Future of Retail Sales?

Future retail sales will be dominated by what is known as “buy now, pay later” payment arrangements. Buy now, pay later; payment plans may be a convenient option for consumers looking for a more convenient method to pay for large-ticket products. The rise in retail pricing has prompted people to look for a convenient and flexible method of purchasing large-ticket goods.

Inflation may lead to an increase in credit card debt and interest payments. In recent years, buy-now-pay-later options have grown more prominent in the banking and retail sectors.

Online and in-store purchases may be made under a BNPL plan with a minimum and maximum selling price. Customers regularly pay, which might be weekly, biweekly, monthly, or even yearly. Aside from interest, the only other charges are those related to lateness.

Buying Now and Paying Later is a Common Practice.

Among the most popular buy-now, pay-later options, according to C+R Research’s poll of 2,005 online users in 2021, were Klarna and Zip Pay, among others. In addition to PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL).

More than 14 million companies provide goods and services on the internet (PayPal, 2017). An excellent example of this is the service Pay in 4BNPL (2017) provides. At Target, Best Buy, Tapestry, and more, you may use Pay in 4 BNPL to make purchases (2017). Many famous companies, including Coach, Uniqlo, and Bad Bath and Beyond, may be purchased with Pay in 4 BNPL (2017).

Rite Aid, Nordstrom, and Calvin Klein are just a handful of the retailers you may shop at. Amazon, Nordstrom, Calvin Klein, and more retailers may be purchased with Affirm (2017). In addition to Walmart and Target, the biggest retail brands globally, including Klarna, are available for product purchases (WMT).

If you want to purchase Abercrombie & Fitch and Saks Fifth Avenue items using Klarna, you may do so (2017). Best Buy, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Nike (NKE), Reebok, and Adidas, among others, may be purchased via Zip.

Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal, and Zip are some of the most popular buys now and pay later service providers, according to a recent study. While Affirm lets customers keep their items for up to a year, Klarna, Afterpay, and Zip charge payment at the time of purchase.

For its purchase now, pay later arrangement, Zip does not collect late fees or negotiate interest rates. It is offered through BNPL, a prominent electronics and appliance retailer, and Best Buy. A 25% down payment is required, and the rest 75% must be paid in four installments over six weeks, all using the Best Buy app or on a desktop computer.

There aren’t any fees associated with checking out. As a consequence of late fines, which may vary from $5, $7, or $10, depending on the state in which you live, you are charged. There is no fee for interest. The plan is not available for purchase in-store.

Recent polls show that the desire to purchase now or pay later options is increasing among customers. Since its inception in 2013, Grand View Research has forecast that the worldwide buy-now-pay-later industry would reach $6.2 billion by the end of 2022.

The Fashion and Garment Sector Is the Most Popular.

As of May 3, Grand View Research predicted a 26 percent increase in sales from 2022 to 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.4%.

BNPL’s U.S. market is predicted to rise by 24.3% a year from 2022 to 2030, reaching an estimated $1.4 billion in 2021, on May 3rd, according to a statement from the company. The survey predicts that the fashion and apparel business will develop quickly over the next several years.
