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.

Wolters Kluwer compliance expert shares insights on digital lender priorities in a down market

Lenders continue steady, incremental progress in building their digital lending programs

In an economy marked by high interest rates and the expense of fully digitizing, it comes as no surprise that digital lending has moved down most lenders’ priority lists But despite lenders’ increased emphasis on cost control, finding new sources of volume, and protecting top talent, those priorities don’t mean that digital lending has stalled entirely. So argues Kevin Wilzbach, Director, Technology Product Management, at Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions. These insights on trends in the lending landscape and what lenders should be focusing on regarding digital lending appear in a recently published MBA Newslinks feature, “Rethinking digital lending in a down market: Focus on what you need and then start where you can.”

“What we’re seeing in the marketplace is that early adopters of digital lending are for the most part staying committed to eClosings and eNote creation,” writes Wilzbach. “In fact, in a recent survey of mortgage banks, nearly a third of the respondents said that the sharp decline in overall originations increased [their] organization’s progress in implementing digital initiatives.”

“Multiple industry surveys, including one commissioned by Wolters Kluwer that was conducted among independent mortgage banks in March 2023, found that lenders of all sizes recognize the benefits of being more digital,” says Wilzbach. “Participants in the survey cited improved operational efficiency, more modern customer experience, and a reduction in loan defects in closing documents due to signing and notarization issues as the top reasons that digital lending is the future.”

Wilzbach adds that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Digitization can be a “journey.” There are discrete phases of digital lending that are far less expensive than big-ticket investments (like a loan origination system) and that can be implemented relatively quickly.

“A lender’s entire digital lending strategy doesn’t have to be fully in place to get started. A launch can occur with the completion of an incremental deliverable. Success can come in large part from ‘chunking’ various parts of the process into smaller, more digestible parts. Hybrid, for example, versus full digital or IPEN (in-person electronic notarizations) versus RON (Remote Online Notarization),” he concludes.
