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.

Industry-Leading Product Protection Provider Extend Launches Shipping Protection to Further Boost Merchant Profits, Reduce Costs, and Delight Customers

By: via Business Wire

This signifies Extend’s growth from a single to multi-product company that provides merchants with best-in-class tools to support customers, increase purchase conversion, and drive incremental revenue.

Extend, a leader in technology-enabled product protection, announced today the launch of Shipping Protection which provides protection for replacement when customers’ packages are lost, damaged, or stolen in transit. Customers can now place their important online orders with the confidence that, even if something happens to their package during the shipping process, they’re safeguarded with Extend. Extend’s modern, digitally native platform is trusted by more than five million customers and 800 leading merchants. This remarkable market traction is a result of rapid, customer-focused issue resolution and the ability to drive greater profit and improved margins with each transaction.

"Extend Shipping Protection is a crucial part of our efforts to deliver a best-in-class digital experience that drives customer lifetime value and increases brand loyalty. We've seen increased shipping issues over the past few years, and being able to offer our customers the opportunity to protect their purchases while enroute to their homes is a tremendous value add," said Ali Oner, CEO at Boutique Rugs. "With Extend Shipping Protection, our customers are protected and we save millions of dollars in product replacement costs. Shipping Protection complements our Product Protection offering from Extend, allowing us to further drive incremental profit and defray costs."

With the addition of Shipping Protection, Extend greatly expands the capabilities of its vertically integrated, proprietary Product Protection Platform. Merchant and customer benefits include:

  • Providing peace of mind for customers who expect their products to arrive safe and sound – which is why our merchants see up to 50% of customers add Shipping Protection to their order.
  • Improving profitability by eliminating product replacement costs, reducing customer support overhead, and increasing AOV.
  • Increasing loyalty by eliminating shipping issues that can create detractors and hurt a merchant’s brand affinity.

“Over the last three years, we’ve built our customer-focused, industry-leading product protection technology to boost average order value and increase purchase conversion rates for our merchant partners. I am energized to provide even more opportunity to delight customers and drive meaningful incremental revenue by now offering both Product Protection and Shipping Protection through one simple integration with Extend,” said Woodrow Levin, Extend’s CEO and co-founder.

Extend’s Shipping Protection launch follows the company’s January 2022 announcement that it is now able to design and manage its own protection plans through its fully licensed in-house obligors. Extend’s innovative and vertically integrated solutions fit seamlessly into any retail infrastructure, so merchants can go live in just weeks — empowering them to cultivate meaningful, trusted customer relationships beginning at checkout.

Extend provides its best-in-class product protection for merchants including Peloton, Brilliant Earth, JBL/Harman, Adorama, Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, and other leading manufacturers and retailers across a range of industries. Extend’s Shipping Protection offering expands their addressable market so Extend can deliver value to every merchant who sells products online. Now, Extend enables merchants to deliver peace of mind and value-added services to all of their customers.
