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.

Blackhawk Network Driving an Industry-Leading Sustainability Effort

Initiative aims to convert plastic-based gift cards to more sustainable paper substrates by end of 2024

Global branded payments leader, Blackhawk Network, is dedicated to leading change toward a more sustainable future in the gift card industry by providing more environmentally friendly card products. Today, the company announced its intention to support its partners to convert a meaningful percentage of its globally distributed card products from virgin plastic to paper-based materials by the end of 2024, and the majority of its suite of original content and multi-brand gift cards to eco-friendly, biodegradable and paper-based materials by the end of 2023. With billions of cards produced annually worldwide, a shift to more eco-friendly materials can have a substantial benefit with minimal disruption to brands, merchants and consumers.

Blackhawk has offered an array of eco-friendly products across global markets for several years, leveraging paper-based and recycled substrates. Thanks to more evolved technology, supply chain and card manufacturer offerings, the company is now able to scale its environmental commitments for greater reach and impact. Further, as digital adoption continues to rise, Blackhawk continues to innovate its digital card offerings to help lessen the demand for plastic-based cards in both its ecommerce and incentives channels.

“Blackhawk distributes approximately 775M gift cards across the globe annually. As a company, we realize we have a unique ability to facilitate a substantial, positive impact on our environment, and feel that it’s our responsibility to help pave the way in our industry to do so,” said Jay Jaffin, chief marketing officer at Blackhawk Network. “People are more aware than ever of how their behaviors, habits and lifestyles impact our environment, and millions are committed to reducing their environmental footprint. We commend those efforts and want to continue to do our part in supporting them.”

Outside of the positive impact to the environment, plastic-free gift cards also make a compelling statement as powerful symbols of change as consumers, too, focus on making more environmentally conscious decisions in their everyday lives. Blackhawk is supporting changes in the way shoppers gift, pay, reward, and use gift and prepaid cards while also making its own commitment to the Earth.
