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.

WOM Protocol Launches Testnet of EVM Layer 1 Blockchain to Power the Next Era of SocialFi

Singapore, 11th July 2025, WOM Protocol was early to SocialFi. Back in 2020, when few believed in decentralized word-of-mouth marketing, WOM began building the infrastructure to make it real. While many “to-earn” models collapsed over time, WOM persisted – improving its protocol, growing its ecosystem and proving that authentic recommendations can scale. Today, WOM is taking its most significant step yet: launching the Testnet of its own EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, unlocking a new phase of growth.

The Perfect Timing in a New SocialFi and InfoFi Landscape

In 2025, SocialFi and InfoFi have evolved rapidly, with projects like Kaito AI and Cookie DAO showcasing new models for decentralized content and community engagement. But in an age of AI-generated information, content validation and authenticity ratings are becoming inevitable. The reputation of creators – and the credibility of what they share – will be the most valuable assets in marketing.

This is why WOM’s timing is critical. While the protocol may have been ahead of the curve between 2020 and 2024, the team has demonstrated persistence, continuous improvement and has refined its unique content authentication model into a solution that can now be universally implemented across any type of content.

Since launch, WOM has surpassed 300,000 validated content pieces across platforms like the BULLZ app and the WOM Authenticator app and processes up to 200,000 daily transactions. These first applications will migrate their activity to the new WOM Layer 1 blockchain once Mainnet launches.

A $1 Million Grant Program and Strategic Growth Initiatives

To fuel ecosystem growth, WOM is introducing a grant pool worth up to $1 million in WOM Tokens over the next two years, supporting SocialFi builders, new platform integrations and community-led initiatives. This token unlock and a planned strategic token sale will help fund further development, onboard more projects and drive awareness through dedicated marketing and trading campaigns.

A High-Performance Blockchain Purpose-Built for SocialFi

The new WOM EVM Layer 1 blockchain is designed to meet the demands of decentralized applications, offering:

  • Up to 10,000 transactions per second
  • Transaction fees as low as $0.001
  • Full EVM compatibility
  • Smart contract automation to streamline rewards, validation, and governance

This combination enables a seamless experience for microtransactions, creator incentives and dynamic community engagement.

The Foundation for Authentic, Decentralized Communities

With the Testnet live, WOM will expand integrations, launch new SocialFi use cases and prepare for Mainnet launch in 2026.

In a landscape where SocialFi and InfoFi require dedicated infrastructure, WOM Protocol provides a high-performance home where communities can transact, collaborate and grow together. As the ecosystem evolves, WOM stands ready to be the foundation for authentic, decentralized economies built on trust and transparency.
