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.

MetLife to Become Exclusive U.S. Employer Channel Distributor of Aura’s Digital Security Solutions

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) and Aura today announced a collaboration whereby MetLife will be the exclusive distributor of Aura’s digital security solutions in the employer channel. MetLife’s industry-leading U.S. Group Benefits platform reaches more than 50,000 employers and approximately 55 million eligible employees and their families. Adding Aura’s intelligent digital safety solutions is one more way that MetLife is responding to customer needs.

The collaboration between Aura and MetLife comes as the workforce prioritizes companies that provide a wide range of benefits and recognize their role in supporting employees’ holistic well-being. In fact, 51% of employees say that employers should play a greater role in the safety and protection of employees and their families, according to MetLife’s 2021 U.S. Employee Benefit Trends Study.

“We know employees want more benefits geared toward prevention and wellness. When we expand our portfolio of benefit offerings, we look for best-in-class providers who will help us protect the finances, wellness and now the digital health and safety of our customers and their families,” said Meredith Ryan-Reid, senior vice president, Financial Wellness & Innovation at MetLife. “Aura’s solution will help safeguard employees’ digital identity and provide peace of mind that what matters most is protected.”

As cybersecurity risks continue to rise for individuals, both companies have seen growing demand from employers looking to offer digital security benefits to their workforces. New data from the Identity Theft Resource Center shows the overall number of data compromises in 2021 was up more than 68 percent compared to 2020. This comes after a record year in 2020 for cyberattacks, with consumers losing more money to cybercrime than they did to home burglary.

“Over the last two years, we have seen surging demand for digital security solutions in response to a drastic increase in cybercrime,” said Hari Ravichandran, Founder and CEO of Aura. “By working with MetLife, Aura will be able to rapidly scale our operations and keep millions of Americans safe.”

BofA Securities acted as MetLife’s financial advisor in connection with this transaction.
