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.

Wolters Kluwer Releases First Quarter Data for Its Auto Finance Digital Transformation Index

Ongoing four-year digital adoption rate continues to reflect widespread adoption of digital workflows throughout automotive sector

Adoption of digitized contracting and documentation workflows by auto retailers and their lending partners that foster back-office efficiencies saw an upward swing, according to analysis by Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions from its Q1 Auto Finance Digital Transformation Index. The four-year trend tracking digital adoption continues to show significant overall growth of 104.2% dating back to the first quarter of 2021. Propelled by strong enticements, high dealer inventories, and aggressive incentives, sales in the auto industry were up 4.5% for the first quarter of 2025 versus Q1 of 20241. The Q1 rate of adoption was up slightly at 1% compared to Q4 2024; and the adoption growth rate was also up a modest 2.2% compared with Q1 of 2024.

The Index tracks the rate at which auto dealers, service providers and lenders are seeing growth in the evolution from paper-based finance back-office processes to digital.

“The continued embrace of digital documentation processes over the last four years highlights the ongoing dedication of auto lenders and their dealer partners to modernize operations," said Matt Babcock, Digital Lending Product Strategy for Wolters Kluwer. "Despite the modest growth of digital adoption in the first quarter, businesses continue to recognize the importance of making digital investments, and we expect that lenders, dealers and their partners will continue to migrate toward digital workflows for their operations."

Quarterly Rise in Adoption Trends for Securitized Markets

The Wolters Kluwer Q1 Index also showed increased digital adoption rates for the securitized markets, with a 13% rise compared with Q4 of 2024. Although the data reflected a 50% decrease of digital adoption comparing Q1 2025 with Q1 2024, the four-year trend remains up at 24%.

The overall activity for auto ABS showed largely seasonal trends during the first quarter. According to the most recent data2, in February 2025, U.S. auto loan ABS demonstrated month-over-month improvements in losses, recoveries, and delinquencies. For the second month in a row, prime auto loan losses and 60-plus-day delinquencies declined and recoveries improved.
