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.

Digimarc Launches Industry-First C2PA Content Credentials Browser Extension

Digital Watermarking Pioneer Commits to Building a Digital Ecosystem of Trust, –

Protecting Content Creators and Consumers with Google Chrome Extension

Digimarc Corporation (Nasdaq: DMRC), the leader in product digitization and pioneer in digital watermarking, today announced it has launched the industry’s first open-source Google Chrome web browser extension to validate digital asset manifests based on the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) standard. The new Chrome extension allows content consumers to check images for C2PA manifests – adding a Content Credential pin (“CR”) to the image if a manifest is present.

“Digimarc’s new Chrome extension with support for Content Credentials turns the browser into an agent capable of certifying the source and provenance of digital images, empowering content consumers to make better decisions about what should or shouldn’t be trusted online,” said Dominique (Dom) Guinard, Digimarc’s VP of Innovation. “Ultimately, what is needed is an ecosystem of authenticity for all digital media. One that offers the provenance of content and the context in which it was intended to be used—the viewer can then determine the trustworthiness of the digital media.”

Today’s news follows C2PA’s recent announcement about Content Credentials, an official “icon of transparency” that provides content creators, marketers, and consumers with a signal of trustworthy digital content. Content Credentials are metadata about a digital asset’s provenance designed to restore trust and transparency at a time when artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content has made it easier to spread misinformation online.

The new Content Credentials Chrome extension builds on the open-source C2PA-JS library created by the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) to perform various validation steps on a digital image manifest, including checking each manifest’s digital certificates and signatures and whether the manifest file is syntactically correct. Above and beyond this first beta release of the extension, Digimarc is actively working to add more features to the extension such as the ability to use digital watermarks to recover missing manifests or detect manifests swapped by malicious actors.

“Digimarc agrees that the best way to create an ecosystem of trust is when all authentic content is identified as such, synthetic and non-synthetic. Empowering content consumers to validate images is a critical step,” said Digimarc President and CEO Riley McCormack. “Building on our almost 30 years of experience in protecting digital assets, we are committed to contributing to the success of the C2PA standard.”

Digimarc’s Content Credentials Google Chrome web browser extension will soon be available in the Chrome Web Store. Meanwhile, you may try the extension in advance via GitHub at this link: https://github.com/digimarc-corp/c2pa-content-credentials-extension
