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.

Citizens and The Tile Shop Partner to Provide Flexible Financing Options for Home Design Projects

Citizens today announced a new partnership with The Tile Shop, enabling the specialty retailer of tiles, materials, and related accessories to offer shoppers a more predictable, affordable way to pay for in-store purchases and bring their home decor projects to life without compromise. Citizens Pay, a market leading consumer installment financing solution from Citizens, is the exclusive financing partner for The Tile Shop, giving customers shopping at one of the retailers’ 143 showrooms across the country access to convenient, flexible payment options.

“Budgeting and paying for home projects can be stressful, but by removing some of the financial barriers through predictable, low-interest monthly payment options, we can empower and better equip homeowners to turn their inspiration into reality,” said Christine Roberts, Executive Vice President and Head of Citizens Pay. “We are excited to partner with The Tile Shop to provide their customers with the financial flexibility to responsibly manage and pay off home improvement projects over time.”

Citizens Pay financing is now available in-store at all 143 The Tile Shop showrooms, with pre-qualification also available via the retailer’s website, for those who start their design planning journey online. Customers who qualify will benefit from Citizens’ ability to offer low interest rates and monthly payments. In addition to flexible payment terms, there are no prepayment penalties or membership fees.

“Partnering with Citizens Pay to offer trustworthy and convenient financing for our customers is an extension of our commitment to excellence across the customer experience,” said Mark Davis, Vice President of Investor Relations & Chief Accounting Officer at The Tile Shop. “Home renovations and design projects are a highly considered purchase and investment, and this new financing option will empower our customers to make their dream home projects a reality, without compromising their design vision or budget.”

A recent Citizens Pay survey found that among American consumers considering buying a new home, 36% wish they had the financial flexibility to afford home renovations1. The survey also found that financial flexibility to make big ticket purchases (53%) is the top benefit that consumers cite for using buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services, and 45% prefer BNPL options with longer-term financing, such as monthly payments over a period longer than six months.

Citizens Pay is a market leader in point-of-sale financing, offering a responsible way for consumers to pay for large purchases in fixed, monthly payments, while providing merchants with tailored, embedded financing options that drive customer loyalty.
