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.

Bluefin Adds Network Tokenization to ShieldConex® Platforms for Enhanced Payment Security and Flexibility

By: via Business Wire

Bluefin, the global leader in payment and data security, today announced the addition of network tokenization capabilities to its ShieldConex® Tokenization as a Service and Orchestration platforms, enabling merchants to directly provision network-issued payment tokens from card brands such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Network tokenization replaces sensitive payment credentials like the Primary Account Number (PAN) with a secure, non-sensitive token issued by the card networks. Tokens are interoperable across processors, acquirers, and gateways, providing a more secure and flexible foundation for digital payments.

ShieldConex® Tokenization as a Service is a cloud-based data security platform that enables organizations to protect sensitive payment, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Protected Health Information (PHI) across channels and systems. ShieldConex® Orchestration offers a secure, data exchange solution that seamlessly integrates both multi-channel, vaultless tokenization with PCI-validated P2PE, reducing PCI compliance scope and enhancing data security without vendor lock-in.

“Managing sensitive cardholder data across processors, acquirers, and platforms has become increasingly complex, particularly for merchants operating in omnichannel environments,” said Tim Barnett, Chief Information Officer at Bluefin. “With the addition of network tokenization to ShieldConex, our clients can offload that complexity. They gain direct access to the security, efficiency, and cost benefits of network tokens, without the overhead of managing it themselves.”

With this launch, Bluefin simplifies network tokenization access and management for merchants who would otherwise need to interface directly with each network.

“ShieldConex now stands as one of the industry’s most comprehensive platforms for sensitive data security – combining vendor-agnostic vaultless tokenization, network tokenization, and PCI P2PE into a single, scalable solution for enterprises, SaaS platforms, and ISVs,” said Drew Monroe, Chief Revenue Officer, Bluefin. “This advancement underscores Bluefin’s commitment to delivering future-ready security solutions that help our clients reduce risk, drive efficiency, and protect their most valuable data assets.”
