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.

Rent-A-Center Celebrates 50th Anniversary with “50 Days, 50 Drops” Campaign

By: via Business Wire

The campaign begins Monday, July 24 and lasts until Tuesday, Sept. 12

Rent-A-Center, Inc., an Upbound Group, Inc. company (NASDAQ UPBD), and a leading provider of technology driven and flexible leasing solutions with over 2,100 storefronts, celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023 with a 50-day campaign aimed to engage and energize coworkers, celebrate customers and invite new customers to experience the rent-to-own industry.

The campaign, called “50 Days, 50 Drops,” is set to begin Monday, July 24 and will showcase the Rent-A-Center brand to the modern world by creating interest in the industry and offering luxury products for rent from brands never-before-seen at RAC that you’ll have to see to believe. Hot items and offers will drop every day throughout the campaign.

“It’s encouraging and exciting to see how far we’ve come as an industry in just 50 years,” said Anthony Blasquez, EVP – Operations at Rent-A-Center. “The upcoming 50/50 campaign is going to be a great way to introduce the brand to customers who may have never considered the flexibility of rent-to-own before, and we look forward to seeing what the next 50 years has in store as we continue to innovate on our value proposition.”

The rent-to-own industry was created in the early 1960s by a small-town retailer named Ernie Talley, who had a large number of potential customers denied credit to get the products they needed for their homes and families. He believed everyone deserved an opportunity to receive products, no matter their credit, so Talley created an agreement that provided these customers with the opportunity to get new, quality products they might not otherwise be able to by making small weekly or monthly payments on the items, with the flexibility to eventually own those products if they chose to. The Rent-A-Center brand was founded in Kansas City, Missouri in 1973 when Thomas Devlin, one of Ernie Talley’s former employees, established a storefront that solely focused on renting brand-name products. Now, this industry serves millions of customers and continues to grow in size and revenue.

In order to participate in the campaign, customers must text “DROPS” to 94210 to get on the list. Everyone on the list will receive a text message every day of the campaign with a link to the dropped item that is guaranteed to sell out quickly, or an exclusive deal.

Customers shopping in Rent-A-Center stores can also scan the QR code to see prior drops and work with store coworkers to see the full catalog of rent-to-own items.
