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.

200 Developer Teams Take Part in The First Ever Bitcoin BUIDL Hackathon Organized by the DFINITY Foundation and Encode Club

Over 200 experienced developer teams are taking part in the first ever Bitcoin BUIDL hackathon organized by the Swiss non-profit the DFINITY Foundation and Web3 education community Encode Club. At the same time, the bitcoin ‘twin’ (ckBTC) usage soars on the Internet Computer.

Zurich, Switzerland, 31st May 2023 – Over 200 experienced developer teams are taking part in the first ever Bitcoin BUIDL hackathon organized by the Swiss non-profit the DFINITY Foundation and Web3 education community Encode Club.

Submissions are due on June 18th, the hackathon is empowering participants to explore and build DeFi, SocialFi and other Bitcoin-related dapps on the Internet Computer. These are available thanks to the direct integration of the Internet Computer blockchain and the Bitcoin blockchain.

The direct integration means that the Internet Computer can now act similar to a Layer 2 for Bitcoin where smart contracts on the Internet Computer can hold, send and receive bitcoin natively, without having to trust wrapped bitcoin from centralized bridging services.

Chain key bitcoin (ckBTC) will play a major role in the BUIDL Hackathon. ckBTC is a multi-chain bitcoin ‘twin’ that is cryptographically secured 1:1 with real bitcoin. It is created by a pair of open source, verifiable smart contracts, which allows for cross-chain transactions.

In the four-week online hack, developers are also participating in technical workshops, benefiting from 1:1 support from the hackathon manager and have all other technical assistance that is required. The winners of different challenges and tracks will be eligible for various prizes and developer grants ranging up to $25,000. Participants can still enter the Internet Computer BUIDL Bitcoin Hackathon by registering here.

ckBTC, the Bitcoin ‘Twin’, Usage Soars on the Internet Computer

Since its launch last April, 116 ckBTC (approximately $3.2 million) have already been minted by the users of the Internet Computer, which is now used within the ecosystem’s various DeFi and socialFi projects.

Out of these, more than 30 BTC were converted into ckBTC recently, transaction volumes have soared up to 1,700 a day (or around 4% of total ckBTC transactions to date). Overall ckBTC transaction volumes have been growing on a 13% month on month basis.

Direct Integration to Unleash Full Bitcoin’s Potential

The direct integration of the Internet Computer and Bitcoin blockchains is one of the first direct blockchain integrations. ckBTC enables fast, low-fee, but cryptographically secure, fully on-chain Bitcoin transactions on the Internet Computer, bringing true decentralization to DeFi and the blockchain space.

Bitcoin Community Warming Up to the Idea

Leveraging Internet Computer tech to improve BTC payment capabilities resonated well among the participants at the Bitcoin Miami conference – the largest Bitcoin conference in the world held May 18-20th.

$75,000 worth of ckBTC was airdropped to attendees at the Miami conference via OpenChat. OpenChat is a fully decentralized chat application running end-to-end on the Internet Computer blockchain. OpenChat is the only service of its kind to offer peer-to-peer BTC payments via instant messages.
