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.

Bitkey Launches an Inheritance Feature for Seamless Legacy Bitcoin Transfers

This new feature will start to roll out next month and will launch widely in January 2025

Bitkey Inheritance enhances control and privacy for Bitkey customers for generations until the very end: wallet owners have the ability to change their beneficiary selection at any time.

Bitkey, the self-custody wallet built by Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ), announced today the launch of an inheritance feature for customers around the world that will start to roll out next month, and will be available to all Bitkey customers in January 2025. While people who hold the keys to their bitcoin have full control of their money, today’s solutions don’t offer a simple way to pass their bitcoin on to the next generation. Today, those who self-custody their bitcoin need to glue together multiple products, ask beneficiaries to remember long passwords, or leave complicated instructions that beneficiaries may or may not be able to follow. Now, Bitkey is introducing a safe and easy way for customers to make sure their bitcoin moves seamlessly into the hands of their loved ones. Access to Bitkey’s inheritance plan will be initially included with the purchase of every Bitkey hardware device — including existing Bitkey customers — and it will make it possible for the funds held in a Bitkey wallet to be transferred to a designated beneficiary after the passing of a Bitkey owner.

"With this inheritance solution, we are offering customers a safe and simple way for them to pass their assets onto the next generation," said Jason Karsh, Business Lead for Bitkey. "Bitcoin is a multi-generational asset, and we think Bitkey should be multi-generational, too. We designed inheritance to be simple for beneficiaries to transfer, access, and manage their inheritance when the time comes.”

How Bitkey’s inheritance works

To set up inheritance, a Bitkey customer, or benefactor, can invite a beneficiary by initiating a message through the Bitkey app, which provides them with an invite link. As soon as the beneficiary accepts the invitation, the inheritance plan will be created. Beneficiaries can be removed or updated at any time by the benefactor, and will have no information about the amount of Bitcoin they are inheriting — as they are not able to view, access or control their benefactor’s Bitkey wallet.

A beneficiary can initiate an inheritance claim at any time. To protect against an accidental or fraudulent claim, there is a six month waiting period that must successfully complete before a beneficiary can access the funds in their benefactor’s Bitkey wallet. During this time, Bitkey will send benefactors regular alerts and notifications letting them know that a claim has been started. This provides them with an opportunity to cancel it before the waiting period ends. Initially, the inheritance solution will be limited to one beneficiary and require beneficiaries to set up a Bitkey wallet, which includes the hardware device and the app. To learn more about how the inheritance process works, visit the Bitkey help center.

Bitkey was created to widen access to self-custody and to empower people around the world to truly manage their bitcoin in a way that’s simple and secure. It was designed around the idea that simplicity is the best security, meaning no long passwords that are difficult to manage and easy to lose, a simple onboarding process, and a product that works (read more about the latest product and security updates in this blog post). Bitkey has recently been included in TIME’s ‘Best 2024 Inventions' list, in the category of Privacy & Security, among a select group of groundbreaking products that are setting the tone for the future and making the world better, smarter, and more inclusive.
