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.

Afterpay Offers More Ways to Pay for Home, Travel, and More This Summer

As consumers look to furnish their homes or plan their next holiday, they can shop and flexibly pay over time from thousands of new merchants

Just in time for summer, Afterpay has scaled its Pay Monthly product to thousands of new merchants, offering eligible consumers the opportunity to be more flexible with splitting their next premium product or vacation over a six or twelve month period.1 This comes at a pivotal time as recent graduates and home owners look to furnish their new spaces, and travelers consider how to budget for their summer vacations.

Afterpay first introduced its monthly payment solution during the fall of 2022 and it has grown widely in adoption by both consumers and merchants alike. Consumers have enjoyed more choice in how they pay and budget for their expenses, where the number of Afterpay consumers actively using the solution has increased by 3x2 when analyzed between December 2022 to May 2023. Compared to traditional Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), merchants have also benefited from increased sales and higher average order values.

Leading home retailers offering Afterpay’s Pay Monthly product to consumers online include Brooklinen, Caraway Home, Lulu and Georgia, Ruggable, Sur La Table, and more. As for travelers, they can split their monthly purchases at partners such as Alternative Airlines and Expedia. Besides home and travel, consumers can also use Afterpay for other higher price categories such as jewelry, luxury fashion, and petcare.

“As Afterpay’s first major U.S. travel partner, Expedia Group is excited to see the expansion of the Pay Monthly product to include even more options for travelers looking to book their dream trips,” said Julia Merritt, Director of Business Development, Strategic Partnerships and Affiliates, Expedia Group. “We’re happy that our cutting-edge traveler technologies help our partners provide flexible, seamless experiences for their customers.”

“During the course of the past year, we’ve seen rapid adoption of Afterpay’s Pay Monthly monthly payment solution from our network of highly-engaged consumers embracing it for purchases on their home, travel, and experiences. This product not only affords people with the buying power they’re looking for when it comes to high value orders, but it has also contributed meaningfully to our merchant partners’ bottom lines as well," said Salim Tarazi, Head of Product, Afterpay at Cash App.

Monthly Payments can be used by eligible customers for purchases between $400 and $4,000,3 with consumer-friendly payment terms, including: no late fees, no compounding interest with a cap on total interest owed, and a clear view of what is owed at the time of purchase. Next month, Square sellers will also be able to offer Afterpay’s Pay Monthly product through Square Invoices, giving consumers the option to flexibly pay for larger invoices over a six or twelve month period.¹

With consumer protections and visible spending limits in place, Afterpay was built to enable responsible customer spending and stopping consumers from revolving into debt. The Afterpay platform uses soft credit checks4 to customize spending limits so consumers spend within their means – creating a healthier and more responsible customer base. This effort is reflected in how often Afterpay customers make their payments on time. Nearly 90%5 of Afterpay monthly installments were paid on time and 95%6 of Afterpay bi-weekly installments were paid on time.
