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.

Strong Dealer Relationships Become Critical for Auto Lenders in Supply-Constrained Marketplace, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

Volkswagen Credit, TD Auto Finance, Citizens, Ally Financial and Audi Financial Services Rank Highest in Respective Segments

With inventory constraints continuing to keep monthly retail sales of new vehicles down 30% from pre-pandemic levels, auto lenders are facing an incredibly competitive marketplace in which it is harder than ever to stand apart from the pack. According to the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study,SM released today, those lenders who find ways to form close relationships with dealers and deliver consistently high service levels are best positioned to capture additional opportunities.

“Auto dealers who maintain transactional relationships with lenders, spreading their business across multiple institutions without establishing go-to relationships have significantly lower levels of satisfaction with their lending partners,” said Patrick Roosenberg, director of automotive finance intelligence at J.D. Power. “In this market, where rates are low and new vehicle sales volumes remain significantly suppressed, captive and non-captive lenders who want to stay competitive need to set themselves apart by forging close relationships with dealers through their sales reps, retail credit staff and funding.”

Study Rankings

Captive—Mass Market Segment

Volkswagen Credit ranks highest in overall dealer satisfaction with a score of 946 (on a 1,000-point scale), followed by Subaru Motors Finance (916) and Toyota Financial Services (907).

National Banking

TD Auto Finance ranks highest in overall dealer satisfaction with a score of 953. Ally Financial (940) ranks second.

Regional Banking

Citizens ranks highest in overall dealer satisfaction with a score of 928, followed by Huntington National Bank (918) and Fifth Third Bank (887).

Sub-Prime

Ally Financial ranks highest in overall dealer satisfaction with a score of 932. Capital One Auto Finance (854) ranks second.

Lease

Audi Financial Services ranks highest in overall dealer satisfaction with a score of 952, followed by Volkswagen Credit (949) and Lincoln Automotive Financial Services (934).

See the rank charts for each segment at http://www.jdpower.com/pr-id/2021117.

The 2021 U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 2,992 auto dealer financial professionals. The study, which was fielded in May-July 2021, measures auto dealer satisfaction in six segments of lenders: captive luxury–prime;1 captive mass market–prime; non-captive national–prime; non-captive regional–prime; non-captive sub-prime; and lease.
