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.

SmileDirectClub Expands New Premium CarePlus Offering To All US SmileShops and Select Partner Network Locations

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC), the next generation oral care company with the first medtech platform for teeth straightening, today announced its premium aligner offering, CarePlus, will be available at all U.S. SmileShop and select Partner Network locations beginning in August, giving consumers even more choices on how to begin and navigate their Smile Journey. Customers will now have the option to select SmileDirectClub’s original telehealth-powered Care aligners or choose the premium CarePlus option, which includes access to a local dentist or orthodontist for in-person check-ins, a dedicated 24/7 Concierge customer care team, expedited aligner shipping and the enhanced comfort of scalloped-edge aligners and retainers.

In response to customer feedback gained during the CarePlus pilot in four key U.S. markets earlier this year, SmileDirectClub found that customers appreciated the flexibility of a hybrid option along with the enhanced product features the CarePlus option offers.

“CarePlus reflects our commitment to giving customers choice, which has always been central to our mission to create innovative solutions for traditional orthodontics,” said David Katzman, CEO and Chairman, SmileDirectClub. “Customers appreciate the flexibility of CarePlus and the extra confidence that comes with having a local licensed dentist available for an in-office visit, in addition to the virtual care platform. This offering is an incremental growth channel that's a natural extension of what we do best as a customer-driven company. It allows us to generate and manage demand, provide education, and deliver a product that meets customers where they are and with solutions that fit their needs."

With 18 new SmileShops added to the Company’s portfolio of 128 total global stores to meet customer demand, the CarePlus rollout signals the Company’s confidence in its business model and its patented SmileShop concept as an on-ramp for customers and a key driver of the business.

Customers who opt for the CarePlus premium offering will also experience treatment with one of SmileDirectClub’s latest innovations, scalloped edge aligners. This new feature, previously tested in the U.K. market, offers enhanced comfort with a scalloped edge that gently lays on the gumline, making treatment more comfortable. Upon completing their aligner treatment, CarePlus customers receive two years’ worth of retainers and the Company’s Lifetime Smile Guarantee to keep their teeth straight and healthy. As a bonus, CarePlus customers will also receive a selection of SmileDirectClub premium oral care products including its award-winning whitening system, toothbrush and oral care kit.

The new premium CarePlus offering is available for $3,900 when paid in full. Or customers can choose SmileDirectClub’s SmilePay™ option for $115 a month. SmileDirectClub’s traditional Care option is available for $2,250 when paid in full, or customers can choose to use SmilePay™ at $89 per month.
