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.

SoFi at Work Launches Student Loan Verification Service To Help Employees Pay Off Student Debt While Also Saving for Retirement

On the Heels of Congress’ Decision to Pass SECURE 2.0, SoFi at Work launches new service to expand access to employer matching contributions by counting student loan payments as elective retirement contributions

Today, SoFi at Work – the leading holistic, financial well-being, and education assistance benefits partner to more than 1,000 organizations – announced the launch of a new Student Loan Verification (SLV) service. SoFi, the digital personal finance company and all-in-one app, announces this new addition to its portfolio of employer financial well-being benefit solutions in response to Congress' approval of the Securing a Strong Retirement Act (SECURE 2.0). SECURE 2.0 includes an important change to retirement law that allows employers to match employees’ student loan payments with contributions toward retirement plans as part of an existing benefits program. For organizations looking to make the most of this policy change, SLV simplifies the process of linking matching employer retirement contributions to employee student loan repayments.

SLV helps the workforce make the most of retirement plans through 401(k) or 403(b) contributions, while still paying down student loan debt. As the cost of education has skyrocketed, student loan debt has more than doubled over the last 20 years, its impact on retirement savings has grown, too. A 2019 study from MIT found 84 percent of adults who carry student loan debt say it has impacted the amount they’re able to save for retirement. When it came to those who hadn’t saved for retirement at all, more than one in four respondents said it was because they had to put their money toward paying off student loans.

”At SoFi, we’re dedicated to helping people get their money right, and SECURE 2.0 and the provision that makes it easier for companies to support all employees’ financial well-being is a great example of that,” said Barrett Scruggs, Vice President, Business Lead, SoFi at Work. “Our Student Loan Verification service makes it easy for companies to put this emerging, yet highly impactful benefit into action for a more inclusive future.”

SoFi at Work partners with leading financial groups and record keepers to administer Student Loan Verification. The service provides a low-cost way to verify eligible student loan payments and deliver contributions for retirement matching – all employers need to do is determine employee eligibility based on student loan debt balances. From there, SoFi at Work handles the rest, including plan design, data security, and reporting.

SLV is part of a holistic financial well-being platform from SoFi at Work. The SoFi at Work Dashboard includes a variety of tools for employees including a debt navigator, refinancing options, financial education resources, and more. This comprehensive solution allows employers to meet the evolving needs of their diverse workforce.
