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.

As WatchFree+ Surges as the No. 2 Ad-Supported Watched Streaming Service, VIZIO Launches Next Slate of Features Channels

Exclusive Data-Informed Thematic Channels Prove a Strong Catalyst for Increased Consumption

Just eight months after going live, the VIZIO (NYSE: VZIO) reimagined WatchFree+ free streaming service has established itself as a major hit with viewers. The cable-like FAST service is now the second-most-watched ad-supported streaming app on VIZIO.

Driving this momentum are more than 250 premium channels and 5,000 movies and shows spanning 13 content genres, from news, movies and sports to kids and family, music and reality. Discovery for all the channels is fueled by Inscape, VIZIO’s rich, glass-level data which provides insights into what people like to watch. That data also powers VIZIO Features, the curated program offering which is among the most watched on the WatchFree+ Platform.

To build on the success of Features, VIZIO, which controls 100% of ad inventory for curated channels, is rolling out three new channels exclusive to VIZIO audiences. Based on in-demand content categories and tentpole programming, the new offering includes:

  • Kick Back — 24/7 action and adventure TV shows and movies
  • Love Always — non-stop romantic comedies timed with Valentine's Day
  • Cinema Selects — featuring award nominated and winning films to commemorate award season

“VIZIO Features deliver more of what our audiences love - across genres,” said Steve DeMain, VP Engagement at VIZIO. “And because we focus on content that viewers want, each channel represents an opportunity for advertisers to connect with these audiences in a highly engaged environment and for content partners to generate new revenue opportunities with VIZIO.”

Since October 2021, VIZIO has introduced 11 curated Features channels in the top-trending categories of food and travel, true crime, esports and video games, sci-fi, horror, hip hop, action, holidays, and more.

VIZIO is now adding pop-up channels to the mix following the success of holiday-themed programming that drove a 3x increase in hours watched during the months of November and December and made VIZIO’s Holiday offering the most watched channel on WatchFree+.

This past December, VIZIO expanded WatchFree+ to include ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) programming, with more than 5,000 titles including popular movies and TV shows from over 17 major and indie studios to deliver something for everyone.

WatchFree+ live and on demand programming is available on all VIZIO Smart TVs. For more information visit https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus.
