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.

Digimarc Unveils Digitized Security Labels to Help Brands Prevent Product Counterfeiting and Restore Consumer Trust

Move from analog foils to interactive, machine-verifiable authenticity checks that reduce fraud, protect revenue, and keep consumers safe

Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), a global leader in digital identification and authentication solutions, has launched digitally watermarked security labels for 100% verifiable product authentication. These labels bring together the latest in Digimarc’s encrypted, covert, and highly copy-resistant watermarks and optimize them for different label material substrates. They can also be combined with QR codes for low-friction, two-step consumer interaction. The result is an affordable, consumer-friendly, interactive method of authentication that supports single and two-factor authentication options.

“Labels have always been an easy and affordable security option, but traditional foils and holograms can no longer be trusted as any evidence that a product is real or hasn’t been tampered with,” explained Riley McCormack, CEO of Digimarc. “Bad actors can easily replicate them using widely available technologies and tapes sold on online marketplaces. That’s why we’ve innovated a new, digitally watermarked security label that restores consumer trust—one that is impossible to re-originate, ultra-resistant to replication, and scannable with a mobile device, with or without an app.”

To facilitate two-factor authentication, visible QR codes are added to covertly watermarked labels, or the label can pair with an existing QR code on the product packaging. Consumers simply scan the QR code, which leads them to scan the watermarked security label, providing the dual verification step. The result is simple, affordable, and scalable authentication, security, and traceability for a wide range of consumer products. “We see huge potential for use with over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, spirits, health and beauty products, and automotive products, to start,” said Tony Rodriguez, CTO of Digimarc.

Watermarked labels can be serialized as well, which provides further protection by limiting the risk of copying even further to a single instance. Serialization also enables products to be tracked after scanning using Digimarc’s Illuminate cloud analytics platform, which provides actionable visibility into counterfeiting hot spots so companies can initiate data-driven, targeted investigations.

“Digitally watermarked labels offer a standardized, highly copy-resistant authentication and security solution that’s low cost and easier to adopt,” Rodriguez added. “They’re a great way to get started with digital watermarking that empowers everyday consumers to determine what’s real and what’s fake with confidence.”
