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.

Average U.S. FICO Score Remains Steady at 716

An uptick in missed payments, slightly elevated consumer debt levels, and an increased rate in consumers obtaining new credit contributed to the leveling off of the average FICO® Score

New analysis from FICO (NYSE: FICO), a leading analytics software firm, shows that the national average FICO® Score currently sits at 716, the same as it was a year ago.

FICO® Scores are dynamic and evolve as changes in consumer behavior are reflected in the underlying credit bureau data housed and managed by the three primary U.S. consumer reporting agencies (CRAs). Each year, FICO provides insight into the national average FICO Score to help ensure that consumers and lenders have a benchmark measure of the current credit health standing. 2022 marks the first time the average FICO Score did not increase in recent years, likely driven in part by the significant uptick in average FICO Score that was observed over the first 12 months of the pandemic.

The leveling off of the average FICO® Score this year has been accompanied by modest degradation in key metrics considered by the Score: a small uptick in missed payments, slightly elevated consumer debt levels, and an increased rate in consumers obtaining new credit.

“Our annual announcement of the national average FICO Score stands as an important marker of the current financial health of U.S. consumers,” said Sally Taylor, vice president of Scores at FICO. “We will continue to monitor emerging credit risk trends to determine how consumers are adapting to the current state of inflation and the economy more generally.”

As the independent standard in credit scoring, FICO® Scores are the leading credit scores used extensively across the lending ecosystem ranging from originations, underwriting and account management to collections and asset-backed securitization.
