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.

Q2 Partners with Mastercard® to Bring Debit and Prepaid Card Programs to Helix Customers

Available to fintechs, brands and financial institutions utilizing Helix’s cloud-native core

Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for banking and lending, today announced a strategic partnership with Mastercard, allowing fintechs, brands and financial institutions that use Helix’s cloud-native core to issue Mastercard debit and prepaid cards to their account holders.

According to the BAI Banking Outlook, 44 percent of respondents said the customer experience they deliver is merely average; the partnership between Helix and Mastercard aims to enhance the holistic customer experience.

The partnership with Q2 and Mastercard will also integrate Mastercom, Mastercard’s dispute resolution service, to Q2’s existing dispute intake capabilities, Centrix, to deliver an efficient solution to manage disputes, helping financial institutions mitigate chargebacks.

“Today’s consumers expect personalization and optionality when it comes to their financial services products,” said Ahon Sarkar, general manager of Helix by Q2. “This partnership will allow existing Mastercard clients to access the innovation Helix and Q2 have to offer, allowing them to build truly personalized banking products that differentiate their presence in the market and integrate seamlessly with their other offerings.”

This partnership will also allow financial institutions who utilize the recently announced Q2 Fabric solution to issue Mastercard branded debit cards. Q2 Fabric empowers banks and credit unions to launch their own digital brands to grow deposits, make their retail portfolios more profitable, adapt to changing customer expectations, and navigate how to better distribute their services across other partners. It combines digital banking with a lightweight cloud-based core (Helix), along with a pre-integrated fintech ecosystem, to accelerate the delivery of purpose-built digital solutions, such as high-yield savings accounts and demand deposit accounts.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Q2 to bring the power of Mastercard’s innovation and trust to Helix customers,” said Hunter Woolley, EVP, North American Business Development at Mastercard. “We’ve spent decades building and evolving payment technology products and services designed to make transacting seamless, safe and secure. Through this partnership, we can help new partners bring those same solutions and standards to their own customers.”
