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.

U.S. Bank, LiquidX Collaborate to Simplify, Accelerate Supply-Chain Financing

By: via Business Wire

Integrated solution will unlock valuable working capital while helping to speed transactions and reduce borrowing costs

U.S. Bank announced today that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with trade-finance fintech LiquidX to help expedite and simplify supply-chain transactions between suppliers and buyers.

This collaboration – which comes at a time of unparalleled stress in the global supply chain – will pair the bank’s strong balance sheet with LiquidX’s streamlined platform technology to help address supply-chain-finance friction and cash-flow challenges facing many companies. Suppliers and buyers will be able to connect their supply-chain systems directly to U.S. Bank and transact through LiquidX’s easy-to-use platform. U.S. Bank financing solutions delivered through this collaboration will enable suppliers to be paid nearly immediately and buyers to receive extended payment terms.

“With so many supply-chain challenges for businesses, we want to help make the financing process as smooth as possible,” said Dan Son, who oversees global trade and supply-chain finance at U.S. Bank. “This new collaboration will deliver a single intuitive interface that seamlessly connects suppliers, buyers and our bank in the supply-chain ecosystem. As one of the most trusted banks in the U.S., with some of the highest debt ratings, we can unlock valuable working capital for our clients.”

The collaboration between U.S. Bank and LiquidX enhances existing supply-chain-finance solutions currently available to U.S. Bank clients. The Receivables Purchase Program allows sellers to convert credit sales to immediate cash flows and reduce days sales outstanding while extending payment terms for buyers. The Approved Payables Financing Program helps buyers pay suppliers early, reduces payment-processing costs, and gives suppliers faster and more predictable access to cash.

“We are thrilled to enter this collaboration with U.S. Bank, one of the country’s largest and most innovative banks, to deliver much-needed liquidity to today’s supply chains,” said Jim Toffey, CEO of LiquidX. “We are proud that our scalable and flexible technology will make it easier, faster, and cheaper for U.S. Bank and its corporate clients to transact.”

As supply-chain decisions become strategically critical for businesses, Son said, innovative supply-chain-finance solutions provide opportunities to strengthen vendor and client relationships, reduce costs, and diversify sources of working-capital funding. In addition, supply-chain-finance solutions can advance other important company priorities, such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives by providing financial incentives and greater access to working capital for diverse suppliers.
