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.

First American Title Launches Transformative Enhancements to Its ClarityFirst™ Platform, Accelerating the Digital Future of the Commercial Title Insurance Industry

By: via Business Wire

—With over 22,000 active ClarityFirst customers since launch, First American Title National Commercial Services Division is leading the digital transformation of the commercial real estate transaction and title insurance—

First American Title Insurance Company, a leading provider of title insurance and settlement services and the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), today announced important new enhancements to ClarityFirst™, a first-of-its-kind, end-to-end digital solution for commercial real estate transactions. Launched by First American Title’s National Commercial Services Division in 2020, ClarityFirst™ is leading the digital evolution within the commercial title insurance industry, streamlining and securing the closing process, and enhancing the overall transactional experience. With more than 22,000 active clients using the platform and 36,000 commercial transactions closed, its swift adoption has confirmed the demand and market readiness for transformation.

“The success of ClarityFirst represents another example of First American’s continuing leadership of the digital transformation of the real estate transaction process,” said Dennis J. Gilmore, chief executive officer at First American Financial Corporation. “ClarityFirst is part of our strategy to leverage our industry-leading property and title plant data and deep knowledge of the transaction process to deliver a superior customer experience, and the strong response to this first-of-its-kind platform confirms our approach resonates with customers.”

ClarityFirst, which has been developed to meet the needs of all key commercial real estate stakeholders, enables a streamlined closing process with greater transparency, efficiency and security than conventional, paper-intensive methods.

“Commercial real estate transactions are inherently complex, with multiple stakeholders, varying asset classes and customs that differ from state to state – and sometimes site to site. ClarityFirst has proven to be the right product at the right time, and we are proud to have brought it to the market,” said Sally French Tyler, executive vice president of First American Title Insurance Company and president of the company’s National Commercial Services Division. “The launch of ClarityFirst in 2020 signaled the first of many steps in modernizing the commercial title insurance business. With dynamic features tailored specifically to our clients’ evolving needs, we’re pioneering a 21st century solution in an industry that has been predominantly paper-based for more than 130 years. As an agile technology, ClarityFirst is poised to grow along with our clients, revolutionizing the future of commercial title – one feature at a time.”

With its latest release, ClarityFirst simplifies the transactional process by supporting portfolio transactions, those that include multiple sites and geographic locations, providing a holistic look into First American Title clients’ multisite projects. This allows key stakeholders to navigate individual sites and view included properties in an interactive map or dashboard, making it easier to view an entire portfolio from a single page.

ClarityFirst’s all-new Milestones feature provides customers with the ability to easily track deal progress and receive real-time notifications, delivering complete transparency throughout the transaction lifecycle. The platform also provides 24/7 access to transaction details and documents, quick and efficient property research, and secure wire instruction verification that protects client funds.

Commercial real estate professionals – from developers, lenders and investors to brokers and attorneys – have long sought a way to reduce the time, cost and complexity of completing real estate transactions, while improving the security of sensitive information and funds. ClarityFirst’s innovative and evolving features cut through the complexity of today’s commercial transactions, providing the tools and information commercial professionals need, exactly how and when they need them.
