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.

Extend Secures $20 Million in New Capital and Hires Seasoned CFO

The debt and equity round, will enable Extend to scale issuer partnerships and launch new expense management services that will accelerate Extend’s path to profitability

Extend, a leading spend and expense management platform, today announced it has secured $20 million in additional capital, including new venture debt and an equity investment led by B Capital, with participation from March Capital, Point72 Ventures, FinTech Collective, and new investor, Commerce Ventures.

Extend empowers businesses with time-saving expense workflows and cost-saving spend controls—without requiring companies to change their existing bank card programs. Through its partnerships with leading banks, Extend enables businesses to seamlessly create virtual cards for vendor payments and employee purchases. The company is now incorporating tools to manage approvals, capture receipts, and reconcile expenses with greater transparency and automation.

“This funding represents a pivotal moment for Extend as we accelerate our path to profitability and launch our paid SaaS offering,” said Andrew Jamison, CEO of Extend. “With strong backing from B Capital and our investor group, we’re building a comprehensive spend and expense management platform while maintaining our focus on capital efficiency and deepening our relationships across the banking ecosystem.”

In addition to closing this funding round, Extend is also bolstering its leadership team with the addition of Francois Horikawa as Chief Financial Officer. Previously Head of Finance for PayPal’s Consumer business unit—which includes Venmo, P2P, Cards, and Small Business Lending—Horikawa brings deep fintech expertise to help steer Extend toward operational excellence and sustainable profitability in its next phase of growth.

Investor excitement was fueled by Extend’s entry into expense management, a growing pipeline of new issuer partnerships and a clear path to profitability.

“Extend’s unique approach combines the familiarity of existing business credit cards with the power of modern software,” said Allen Duan, General Partner at B Capital. “Their expansion into expense management and disciplined approach to growth position them to become a category-defining platform in the space.”

“We’ve followed Extend’s journey for years and believe they’re at an inflection point,” said Dan Rosen, Founder and General Partner at Commerce Ventures. “With deep bank integrations, a strong team, and an exciting expansion into paid SaaS, Extend is positioned as a standout in the B2B payments ecosystem.”

Extend is embedded in more than a dozen leading banks across the U.S. and Canada, and is actively expanding with strategic integrations at top 10 banks and a wide range of smaller issuers. Its API-driven architecture, industry-leading virtual card capabilities, and intuitive user experience support a wide range of business use cases—from SMBs to digital commerce—transforming the $1.6 trillion U.S. corporate card market.
