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.

Tekmetric Partners with Affirm to Bring Flexible Payment Options to Auto Repair Shops

Tekmetric’s partner shops can now seamlessly offer Affirm’s pay-over-time options, with no hidden or late fees

Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, is announcing an expanded partnership with Tekmetric, a leading automotive repair shop management solution empowering auto repair businesses nationwide. Now, the thousands of auto repair shops that use Tekmetric’s platform, powered by Stripe Connect, can offer their customers the ability to pay over time with Affirm for online and in person auto repair services.

These auto repair shops can add Affirm as a payment option with just a few simple clicks. By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved customers can split the total cost of their purchase into monthly or biweekly payments, for as low as 0% APR. They are shown the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront, as Affirm never charges late or hidden fees.

“Our partnership with Affirm allows our partner shops to improve customer satisfaction by offering flexible payment plans, and to drive higher repair order values and loyalty through versatile payment choices,” said Sunil Patel, Founder and CEO of Tekmetric. “Together, we are pioneering a new era in the auto repair industry, delivering innovative solutions that can drive efficiency, increase profitability, and provide extraordinary customer experiences.”

“Consumers increasingly expect payment flexibility at checkout, with a recent Affirm survey revealing that more than half of respondents have used or would use ‘buy now, pay later’ options,” said Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm. “By partnering with Tekmetric, we can help the auto repair shops leveraging their platform meet this consumer demand and accelerate revenue growth.”

Tekmetric joins Affirm’s network of 292,000 retail partners, including Amazon, Casper, Newegg, SeatGeek, Royal Caribbean, Priceline, American Airlines and more. Offering Affirm at checkout can help drive overall sales, increase average order value, and reach new customers.
