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.

FICO Launches FICO Score Simulator to Help Mortgage Lenders Give Consumers More Loan Options and Favorable Rates

New analytic tool simulates changes to the FICO Score with personalized credit improvement strategies

Global analytics software leader FICO (NYSE: FICO) today announced a new analytic tool for mortgage professionals, the FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator.

The innovative new tool simulates the potential impacts to a consumer’s FICO® Score with various simulated changes to their credit report data, such as reducing credit card balances or deleting a collection account. With that valuable insight, mortgage professionals, such as brokers and lenders, can help potential borrowers gauge how the changes could affect their FICO Scores and show them how different credit decisions could open up more loan options and favorable interest rates.

The FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator is the only score simulator for mortgage professionals that uses FICO Scores and the actual FICO Score algorithms. Lenders using this tool will be able to run credit event scenarios from an applicant’s credit report data, such as paying off a car loan, and determine the potential impact to that individual’s actual FICO Score. The simulation will also allow the mortgage professionals to see how different credit strategies may influence potential changes to the applicant’s FICO Score.

“FICO is continuously working on innovative product offerings that can responsibly expand credit access to more people,” said Geoff Smith, vice president and general manager, Consumer Scores at FICO. “Even a few additional points in a potential borrower’s FICO Score can have a material impact on the mortgage loan terms offered. Ultimately, the FICO Score Mortgage Simulator will prove to be a powerful tool that can enable more people to achieve the dream of homeownership.”

The FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator provides:

  • Dynamic Credit Scenario Planning: Easily simulate credit scenarios to project potential FICO® Score changes, and impact on loan eligibility.
  • Enhanced Consumer Experience: Lenders can provide actionable recommendations that empower people to make better-informed financial decisions that may have a material impact on their FICO® Scores.
  • Better Borrower Outcomes: Use of the FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator can help provide eligible borrowers with access to better interest rates and help previously ineligible borrowers qualify for a mortgage.

Xactus LLC, the leading verification innovator for the mortgage industry, is the first technology partner to be working with FICO to bring FICO® Score Mortgage Simulator to market.

“The FICO Score Mortgage Simulator is an innovative new tool, and we are thrilled to be at the forefront of bringing it to the mortgage market,” said Shelley Leonard, President of Xactus. “This tool brings a unique opportunity to allow both lenders and consumers to not only have a deeper understanding of FICO Score dynamics but provide a better experience and return for everyone.”
