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.

Union Credit Predicts Three Trends in Embedded Finance for Member Growth

Union Credit, the only marketplace for credit unions to make firm pre-approved, one-click credit offers at the point of purchase, reveals three emerging trends as embedded finance continues to be a key strategy for credit unions’ member growth and long-term success.

Barry Kirby, co-founder and chief revenue officer at Union Credit, said “Amid rising competition and a tightening economy, credit unions are looking for ways to increase brand visibility and strengthen member acquisition. Embedded offers are proving to be an effective way to reach new audiences that may not be aware of the benefits credit unions provide. More credit unions are meeting more Americans in their shopping and e-commerce experiences and helping to improve their finances.”

Three marketplace shifts that help credit unions through the adoption of embedded finance include:

  1. Leading with your brand first. This is the evolution of indirect lending. Embedding offers such as personal loans and credit cards directly into consumers' shopping experiences boosts a credit union’s visibility and fosters new relationships with consumers. This approach supports the credit union movement, using financial opportunities to successfully connect with the next generation of members.
  2. Expanding financial access to low-income communities. Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) credit unions are using embedded finance to expand their reach and meet their goals for low-income communities. By leveraging census data, they can better identify and serve their target communities, broaden their digital reach, and increase accessibility to financial services. This approach not only demonstrates their commitment to low-income communities but also helps them maintain their CDFI certification.
  3. Balancing portfolios. Credit unions are working on balancing their portfolios in the current economy. To do so, they are leveraging embedded finance to make their loans more accessible to all credit-worthy consumers. Targeted offers attract new members and foster long-lasting relationships by effectively meeting consumers' financial needs. By integrating embedded finance into their strategies, credit unions can achieve sustainable growth and maintain a balanced financial portfolio.

Kirby continued, “The future of the credit union movement will depend on their ability to break through the old ways of meeting consumers where they are, with the products and services that they truly want and need. Those that do will win lasting relationships within their communities and play a vital role in our financial landscape.”
