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 Announces Second Quarter Data for Its Auto Finance Digital Transformation Index

Q2 digital contracting growth mirrored accelerated auto sales activity; Auto securitizations saw a decline following auto ABS losses

Adoption of digitized contracting and documentation workflows by auto retailers and their lending partners that foster back-office efficiencies saw a continued upward trend that mirrored auto sales activity, according to analysis by Wolters Kluwer Compliance Solutions from its Q2 Auto Finance Digital Transformation Index.

"The Q2 2025 Auto Finance Digital Transformation Index clearly underscores the imperative for digital workflow adoption in the auto industry,” said Matthew Babcock, Digital Lending Product Strategy for Wolters Kluwer. “From significant operational efficiencies to enhanced customer experiences to faster transactions and reduced paperwork, digitization is providing the strategic advantages that are foundational to the future success and resilience of auto finance."

Key Findings from the Q2 2025 Index:

eContracting (Auto): Digital contracting in auto finance continues its upward trajectory, underscoring the industry's ongoing commitment to streamlined, paperless workflows.

  • Quarter-over-Quarter Growth: eContracting volume increased by 7.07% from Q1 2025 to Q2 2025.
  • Year-over-Year Growth: A notable 9.26% increase was observed from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025.
  • Four-Year Trend Positive: The long-term trend highlights substantial digital adoption, with a remarkable 116.26% growth in eContracting dating back to Q2 2021.

This consistent growth in eContracting during the second quarter aligns with the overall U.S. auto sales activity, which saw the forecasted new-vehicle sales pace in June finish near 15.3 million, up from 15.0 million in June 2024, as reported by Cox Automotive.

Securitizations (Auto): Digital auto securitization activity also mirrored broader auto ABS trends and experienced a noticeable downturn in Q2 2025, though the longer-term view still indicates overall growth.

  • Quarter-over-Quarter Decrease: Digital auto securitizations decreased by 46.21% from Q1 2025 to Q2 2025.
  • Year-over-Year Decrease: A more substantial 55.26% decline was recorded from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025.
  • Four-Year Trend: Despite recent quarterly declines, the four-year trend shows an overall increase of 22.91% since Q2 2021, indicating that the market has grown considerably over this period, even with recent fluctuations.

Amid months of market uncertainty, auto ABS issuance dropped 37.2% YoY to $9.8 billion in May, according to JPMorgan Securities data. Year to date through May 16, prime loan issuance fell 14.4% YoY to $31.5 billion, while nonprime loan issuance rose 6.7% YoY to $17.4 billion, according to JPMorgan. Total issuance landed at $68.3 billion YTD, down 12.8% YoY.
