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.

Lenders Need to Evolve as Auto Sales in Canada Move Online, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

Hyundai Motor Finance, TD Auto Finance and Honda Financial Services Rank Highest in Respective Segments

After a full year of COVID-19 realities, auto dealerships and auto sales in Canada continue a rapid transformation toward online interactions and transactions. According to the J.D. Power 2021 Canada Dealer Financing Satisfaction StudySM released today, 49% of Canadian dealerships saw an increase in online sales during the past year and 41% expect at least one-fifth of their sales to be digital in the next 12 months. This tectonic industry shift requires lenders to rapidly adapt to accommodate dealers’ needs, including building digital platforms and channels to streamline and grow business opportunities.

“While most dealers recognize the many actions taken by lenders to support their businesses during the pandemic, in many instances, less than one-third of lenders executed on initiatives such as increased availability and support from sales reps and credit analysts that drive greater dealer satisfaction,” says Patrick Roosenberg, director of automotive finance at J.D. Power. “Dealers also say 33% of non-captives and only 15% of captives provided online/digital credit application support/training. Lenders have a lot of room to improve in these areas if they want to protect and grow their business pipeline.”

The study also highlights the important role sales representatives can and should have in cultivating lenders’ digital business opportunities. According to the study dealers are looking to their reps to provide sales and technology training. However, less than 50% of sales reps exceed dealer expectations on this key performance indicator. As digital opportunities grow, sales reps and credit analysts need to become subject-matter experts to capture these opportunities.

“With an increasing number of auto sales moving to a full digital transaction model, lenders need to develop and launch digital platforms that enable the process from origination to funding—and be supported by the sales reps and credit analysts,” Roosenberg said. “Our study shows that a lender who effectively responds to this shift by developing and offering a digital solution is poised for future success.”

Study Rankings

Hyundai Motor Finance ranks highest in the retail—captive segment with a score of 901 (on a 1,000-point scale). Honda Financial Services (893) ranks second and Ford Credit (889) ranks third.

In the retail—non-captive segment, TD Auto Finance ranks highest for the fourth consecutive year, with a score of 917. IA Auto Finance (912) ranks second and Scotiabank (901) ranks third.

In the lease segment, Honda Financial Services ranks highest with a score of 912. Kia Motors Finance (906) ranks second and Toyota Financial Services (883) ranks third.

The 2021 Canada Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study, now in its 23rd year, captures 7,190 finance provider evaluations across the three segments from new-vehicle dealerships in Canada. The study was fielded in February 2021.
