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.

Toshiba Accelerates Cloud Innovation with Youmebee, Ltd. Acquisition

Purchase Strengthens Toshiba's Vendor-Agnostic Print Management Approach

Toshiba America Business Solutions strengthens its cloud portfolio by acquiring Youmebee, Ltd., makers of directprint.io, and a leading provider of cloud-native print management solutions. The move reinforces Toshiba’s commitment to delivering open, flexible, and secure print infrastructure for today’s hybrid work environments.

Beyond serving as a core component of Toshiba’s Elevate Sky® Print Management platform, directprint.io provides a robust stand-alone SaaS solution for organizations operating across multi-vendor fleets. The acquisition ensures continued investment in the cloud platform’s growth while preserving its independence and vendor-neutral approach.

To support this vision, Youmebee will remain a stand-alone company focusing on developing cloud-first, AI-driven print, document and workflow solutions, under the brand name Coreza moving forward. The directprint.io product itself will be rebranded as Coreza Print in the coming months.

"Youmebee is a proven innovator and accelerator of our cloud strategy," states Toshiba America Business Solutions President and Chief Executive Officer Larry White. "Folding them under the Toshiba umbrella as a stand-alone entity emphasizes our commitment to open ecosystems, client choice, while further establishing ourselves as a leader in cloud-first print and document infrastructure."

The acquisition aligns with Toshiba’s successful managed print as a service (MPaaS) strategy, which recognizes the realities of multi-vendor environments across enterprise and small-to-medium-size businesses. The directprint.io platform is uniquely capable of supporting this landscape by offering:

  • True vendor-agnostic support across all major print brands
  • Cloud-native architecture that eliminates print servers and reduces IT complexity
  • Seamless integration with identity providers, productivity suites, and security frameworks
  • Real-time analytics for usage, cost, and sustainability insights

"We’re excited to join Toshiba while continuing to operate independently," says Youmebee, Ltd. President David Jenkins. "Our mission remains the same: to deliver the most flexible, secure, and user-friendly cloud print platform on the market — regardless of hardware brand."

As part of Toshiba, Youmebee — soon to be Coreza — will continue to serve its global customer base and partners with the same agility and openness that have defined its success. This acquisition ensures the platform will scale faster, bringing newer innovations to market while remaining true to its vendor-neutral DNA.
