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’s Elavon Jumps Two Spots in 2025 Nilson Report Ratings

Payments leader moves from 7th to 5th in latest report, spotlighting payments growth as ranked by Mastercard and Visa purchase volume

Elavon, the merchant services payment provider of U.S. Bank, has moved up two spots in the 2025 Nilson Report to become the fifth-largest U.S. merchant acquirer and the second-largest bank-owned acquirer as ranked by Mastercard and Visa purchase volume.

The Nilson Report, a stalwart of news and analysis of the global card and mobile payment industry, released the rankings at the beginning of April.

Per the Nilson Report (Issue 1282, March 2025), Elavon is the fifth-largest acquirer of Visa and Mastercard volume in the United States, up from seventh in the prior year. For total purchase volume (Visa, Mastercard, and other credit and pin-debit), Elavon is the sixth-largest provider in the United States, up from seventh. Elavon remained the fourth-largest acquirer of card-not-present purchase volume, an indicator of eCommerce sales.

“Our innovative, tech-led payment products and solutions are valuable to businesses we serve, from your favorite local restaurant or shop to some of the largest hospitality brands and airlines in the world,” said Jamie Walker, chief executive officer at Elavon. “We intend to continue to deliver what our clients need and solve the business and payment processing challenges they face.”

Elavon is a global payments leader, processing more than $576 billion in transactions worldwide annually. Backed by U.S. Bank, the fifth-largest commercial bank in the United States, Elavon offers a broad range of technologies and scalable payment solutions to businesses of all sizes. Elavon provides payment processing to eight of the Top 10 airlines globally and is the trusted payments partner for seven of the Top 10 largest U.S. hotel brands.

Elavon has secured a number of strategic partnerships in recent years, resulting in increased purchase volume and customer growth. These partnerships include Delta Air Lines Tap-to-Pay on iPhone integration, Virgin Atlantic, Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), the California Restaurant Association, and many others.

Salucro, the healthcare payments company acquired by U.S. Bank in 2024, has been an attractive addition for clients and prospects in the healthcare sector. In addition, Elavon has recently launched innovative payment products and solutions, including its Avvance point-of-sale lending solution, Elavon Payments Gateway as a unified, digital, cloud-based payments solution, and talech terminal as a simple point-of-sale solution to help small businesses more efficiently run their businesses.

“As the payments landscape continues to evolve at lightning speed, we are on the forefront of delivering solutions that businesses—no matter their size or industry—seek to ensure a seamless, simple payment experience for their customers,” Walker said.
