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.

Eligible shoppers can now pay over time for coveted sneakers, apparel, accessories and more with Affirm’s customized biweekly and monthly payment plans

StockX, a global resale marketplace for current culture products, today announced that it has partnered with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth. Eligible StockX shoppers in the U.S. can now access Affirm’s flexible payment plans when purchasing coveted items from top brands like adidas, Supreme, Gucci, and more.

“At StockX, we’re always looking for ways to enhance the customer experience and ensure our community has access to the world’s most sought-after brands. Affirm’s range of flexible pay-over-time options, including longer-term plans, gives our customers the power to choose what works best for their needs and shop confidently,” said Jacob Fenton, Vice President of Customer Experience and Insights at StockX. “This partnership supports our mission to empower everyone to trade what they love, while upholding the convenience and service that define the StockX experience.”

With this new offering, eligible shoppers can choose Affirm’s biweekly or monthly payment plans at checkout. The process is simple: after selecting Affirm, consumers enter a few pieces of information, and go through a quick, real-time eligibility check. If approved, consumers can choose the customized payment plan that best suits their needs. As always, Affirm never charges any late or hidden fees.

“This partnership comes as demand for ‘Affirming’ apparel and accessories is higher than ever, with approximately 25% growth in these categories from October to December 2024,” said Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm. “By partnering with StockX, we’re giving shoppers more of what they’re looking for at checkout – clear, flexible payment options with no late or hidden fees. This empowers them to shop responsibly and stay in control of their budget.”

To celebrate this launch, StockX and Affirm are offering eligible customers an exclusive, limited-time offer. From March 10 to 17, shoppers can select Affirm at checkout on the StockX website or app and see if they qualify for the Affirm 0% APR Drop, paying over three or six months interest-free.
