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.

Affirm expands work with Google Pay, integrates with autofill on Chrome

U.S. consumers shopping on Chrome’s desktop browser can quickly and seamlessly access Affirm via autofill feature

Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, today announced that it is expanding its collaboration with Google Pay and making its flexible, transparent payment options available via autofill on Chrome.

This announcement builds on Affirm’s launch on Google Pay in early 2024, which enabled eligible consumers to pay over time with Affirm wherever the Google Pay button is accepted. Now, using autofill on Chrome, eligible shoppers can pay over time with Affirm quickly and conveniently, at more places where they shop.

“By integrating Affirm with autofill on Chrome, we can deliver payment choice and flexibility seamlessly and at scale,” said Vishal Kapoor, SVP of Product at Affirm. “We are excited to expand our work with Google Pay and bring Affirm to many more consumers, through a checkout experience that combines flexibility and transparency with speed, security, and convenience.”

People shop on Google more than a billion times per day, and autofill offers them a safe, convenient way to check out on Chrome and Android. To access Affirm, U.S. shoppers using the Chrome desktop browser can select “Pay over time options” from the autofill dropdown menu. After choosing Affirm, they will go through a quick eligibility check and, if approved, select the personalized biweekly or monthly payment plan that works best for them. Plans range from four biweekly payments to monthly installments up to 24 months, support cart sizes from $35 to $30,000, and include interest rates starting at 0% APR. As always, Affirm does not charge any late or hidden fees, ever.

Consumers will also have the ability to link their Affirm account with Google Pay, allowing them to breeze through checkout quickly and securely for future purchases.

New and existing Affirm users can pay with autofill on Chrome at select merchant websites. This feature will be automatically activated for merchants, with no integration effort required.
