About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

DAT redefines freight payments with Outgo acquisition

DAT Freight & Analytics has acquired Outgo Inc., adding fast, transparent payments to the industry’s largest freight marketplace.

Outgo is a financial technology company and factoring service that automates invoice payments and other back-office functions for trucking companies. The acquisition reinforces DAT’s commitment to helping freight carriers find the best loads, book them quickly, and get paid almost instantly—all in one place.

“Cash flow is the lifeblood of small carriers, and at the heart of any great high-trust marketplace is the payment connection between the buyer and seller,” said Jeff Clementz, Chief Executive Officer and President of DAT. “Outgo sets the industry standard for funding speed, transparency, and flexibility.”

Outgo automates broker setup, invoicing, factoring, and collections without long-term contracts or minimums. It commits to settling approved unpaid invoices within four hours, with many processed in as little as 15 to 90 minutes.

Going forward, carriers on DAT One will have access to Outgo’s AI-powered payment services. Any load posted to the DAT network with a blue checkmark is eligible for factoring, so carriers can feel assured that they’ll get paid quickly.

“Acquiring Outgo paves the way for DAT to embed payments and financial services into our DAT One freight platform,” Clementz said. “We can bring more value to our customers and build on our position as the industry’s most trusted marketplace by offering a smarter, faster path to payment that’s fully integrated into the customer’s workflow.”

“We're relentlessly focused on transforming how carriers get paid so it's faster, more flexible, and puts them in control of their finances," said Marcus Womack, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Outgo. “Joining a company with the reputation and trust that DAT has earned will allow us to continue to develop payment innovations at a greater scale for the benefit of both carriers and brokers.”

Outgo was launched in 2022 by senior leaders from transportation technology companies, including Uber and Convoy. Outgo will operate from its Seattle office as a distinct service within DAT, with Womack joining the DAT executive team.

Outgo will continue to provide customer support through multiple channels, with user-friendly tools both on the web and on its app.

“By combining the Outgo team’s deep payments expertise with DAT’s award-winning customer support and freight match knowledge, customers can get the support they need to find work and get paid, all in one platform,” Womack said.
