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 Expands Embedded Payments Suite to Power Efficient, Secure Transactions

With the bank’s risk, security and compliance expertise, U.S. Bank Embedded Payment Solutions allow companies to embed payment capabilities into existing platforms

U.S. Bank has unveiled an expanded suite of embedded payment solutions, offering businesses across industries a powerful way to integrate efficient, secure payment capabilities directly into their existing systems.

U.S. Bank Embedded Payment Solutions are built for websites, apps, enterprise systems and fintech integrations to enable companies to deliver fast, simple and secure payment experiences for customers, employees and suppliers.

The enhanced offering includes a robust for-benefit-of (FBO) solution for companies to move money on behalf of their customers. The FBO account structure supports unlimited virtual accounts, allowing businesses to easily identify and track funds for each participant. By integrating leading account, payment and risk management technology, U.S. Bank efficiently verifies and onboards customers and provides ongoing, simplified payment support. A broad range of payment types – including instant payments – are available to accommodate payer and payee needs and preferences.

“Today’s finance leaders are under increasing pressure to optimize liquidity, reduce friction in payments, move quickly and enhance the customer experience,” said Kristy Carstensen, head of U.S. Bank Treasury and Payment Solutions. “Our expanded embedded payments suite empowers organizations to embed secure, real-time payment capabilities directly into their platforms—streamlining operations and strengthening financial control.”

This expansion reflects U.S. Bank’s ongoing work to integrate payment capabilities into the software and platforms businesses rely on daily while enabling faster, easier and secure financial transactions. Through Elavon, its wholly owned subsidiary, the bank has long supported embedded, technology-driven merchant acquiring solutions.

“We are leveraging our comprehensive range of services – from merchant processing to treasury management – to deliver integrated, embedded solutions that provide efficient and secure transactions tailored to the dynamic needs of businesses,” said Jamie Walker, CEO of Elavon.

Examples of the types of companies that can utilize embedded payments include fintechs, insurance carriers, healthcare systems, online auto retailers, title companies and more.

Basefund – a fintech platform serving municipalities and corporations – integrates U.S. Bank’s payment capabilities to securely process high-value, multi-party transactions.

“Our customers value how easy it is to use our platform to make their transactions secure. With U.S. Bank Embedded Payment Solutions, we can now process those transactions in the application while also providing the risk, security and compliance expertise of one of the nation’s leading banks,” said Basefund CEO Robert White.

Rain – a fintech used by employers to provide employees instant access to their wages – utilizes U.S. Bank Embedded Payment Solutions to facilitate payments on behalf of its customers.

"U.S. Bank has been an exceptional partner, providing a robust payments and banking platform that enables Rain to deliver real-time earned wage access to millions of employees each month. We look forward to deepening this collaboration, driving innovation together, and setting a new standard for how earned wage access is delivered across the market," said Rain COO Fred Choquette.
