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.

U.S. Bank Hires El-Yafi to Lead New Global Transaction Services Group

Accomplished global financial services executive will drive efforts to create an interconnected, focused approach to serving clients’ international banking and payment needs

U.S. Bank has named international banking leader Tarek El-Yafi as head of U.S. Bank Global Transaction Services, a new group created to help meet the growing international banking and payment needs of clients.

El-Yafi joins U.S. Bank after more than 25 years at Standard Chartered Bank and Citi. El-Yafi has deep experience in the U.S., UK and Asia, Africa and the Middle East with transaction banking, payments, foreign exchange (FX), treasury management and trade services.

“We’ve built strong global banking and payment solutions that many firms utilize to operate more efficiently across the world. Global Transaction Services will interconnect our expertise from across the bank to meet the growing international financial services needs of U.S. businesses,” said U.S. Bancorp President Gunjan Kedia. “Tarek is an accomplished leader with a strong track record of delivering innovative global money movement solutions.”

The Global Transaction Services team will work in close partnership with bankers covering all segments, as well as existing businesses across U.S. Bank – including Global Treasury Management, Working Capital Finance, Foreign Exchange, Elavon and others – in commercializing their international capabilities. A key area of focus will be U.S.-based clients’ efforts to control cross-border payment costs via more efficient conversion to more than 60 currencies reaching more than 100 countries. Global Transaction Services will also help optimize clients’ use of cross-border trade working capital solutions, foreign deposit accounts, interest rate risk management products and payment acceptance solutions.

With the launch of Global Transaction Services, U.S. Bank is building on its growing global banking and payments presence. In addition to facilitating cross-border payments for a wide-range of clients, U.S. Bank in recent years has doubled the size of its FX hedging business. The bank has a growing fund administration service in Europe and is also one of the leading European trustee and agency providers, helping financial institutions and corporations manage overseas trust assets and navigate European debt and loan markets. The bank’s payment acceptance and processing subsidiary, Elavon, serves businesses in more than 36 countries and 100 currencies.

“U.S. Bank has very deep relationships with the nation’s leading companies. With Global Transaction Services, we’ll work together to help them operate more efficiently around the globe by optimizing areas like cross-border payments, foreign deposit accounts and broader working capital solutions,” said El-Yafi.
