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.

To celebrate the launch, players worldwide can use the global promo code WEBLAUNCH, now live and fully functional, to unlock special offers and exclusive rewards in the new Web Shop. A secure workaround has been successfully implemented to ensure seamless activation and redemption.

The redesigned Web Shop represents an important next chapter for MARVEL SNAP as the studio moves into self-publishing and creates deeper, more direct relationships with its global player base. Built in close collaboration with Xsolla’s Expert Team, the shop focuses on player choice, convenience, and exclusive rewards, all aligned with the visual identity and gameplay cadence fans expect from MARVEL SNAP.

This upgraded experience introduces several new features and launch-specific offerings:

  • Fully branded UI consistent with MARVEL SNAP’s in-game look and feel
  • Personalized promo code redemption, welcome bundles, and web-exclusive offers
  • Integrated LiveOps tools for segmented targeting, timed rewards, and event synchronization
  • Reward systems and seasonal pass alignment to drive engagement
  • Enhanced analytics and A/B testing for real-time performance optimization

At launch, players can access a set of limited-time offers, including:

  • A seasonal Web Shop Milestone Track, where players can earn Web Points with every purchase to unlock bonus rewards, such as exclusive variants
  • Boosted Daily Free Claim, granting 200 Credits per day throughout the launch month
  • More web-exclusive promotions are coming soon, designed to deliver recurring offers and unique bundles to reward loyal players

“As we took publishing in-house, one of our top priorities was creating more direct ways to connect with our players and deliver value outside the app stores,” said Matt Wyble, Chief Operating Officer at Second Dinner. “Xsolla helped us build a Web Shop that feels native to the SNAP experience while giving us the tools to offer better rewards, smarter promotions, and more meaningful engagement.”

“Second Dinner’s decision to build a branded, global Web Shop reflects what more developers are discovering: direct-to-player commerce isn’t just viable, it’s valuable,” said Chris Hewish, Chief Strategy Officer at Xsolla. “From seamless payments to real-time optimization tools, this collaboration showcases what happens when powerful technology meets passionate game makers.”

Key benefits at launch include support for over 1,000 localized payment methods through Xsolla Pay Station, LiveOps tools, continuous content updates synchronized with in-game events, and a dedicated optimization team to ensure long-term performance.
