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.

Point Predictive's Fraud Consortium Surpasses 650 Financial Institutions, Protecting Over $4 Trillion in Loan Originations

SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Point Predictive, the leader in consumer lending AI solutions, announced a significant milestone today, with its consortium now serving more than 650 lenders, banks, fintechs, and dealer groups nationwide. This collaborative network has analyzed over 270 million loan applications representing more than $4 trillion in origination value, establishing it as the industry's most comprehensive repository of fraud intelligence for first- and third-party fraud.

The consortium's remarkable growth underscores the financial industry's recognition that pooling data insights delivers superior protection against increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes. By leveraging this shared intelligence through Point Predictive's suite of solutions, financial institutions can automate up to 80% of their fraud checks and stipulation decisions across all misrepresentation types.

"Our consortium represents more than just shared data—it's the engine driving unprecedented automation in lending," said Tim Grace, CEO of Point Predictive. "By analyzing patterns across billions of data points, we've enabled lenders to move from manual stipulation of documentation requests to streamlined, intelligent workflows that approve legitimate borrowers quickly while flagging the small percentage of applications that deserve scrutiny. The result is a win-win: lenders reduce costs and increase loan conversions while borrowers enjoy a frictionless experience that gets them funding faster than ever."

The consortium is unique because it tackles organized criminal activities and everyday deception leading to loan defaults in lending. While identifying sophisticated third-party schemes like identity theft rings and title washing operations, it also detects first-party fraud, including income inflation, use of fake employers, use of CPNs to create synthetic identities, bust out fraud, and credit washing. This capability within a single platform gives lenders comprehensive protection against losses while streamlining approvals for trustworthy applicants. When a lender, fintech, or bank submits an application to be analyzed, they receive back an easy-to-use risk score and over 150 red flag alerts not available anywhere else.

"What began as a simple idea—that fraud fighters are stronger together—has transformed into an unprecedented consortium for the lending industry," said Frank McKenna, Chief Innovation Officer of Point Predictive. "Our consortium members are not just protecting themselves; they're contributing to a collective intelligence that detects fraud patterns no single institution could identify alone, ultimately making lending safer and more efficient for everyone."

Point Predictive’s integrations with major loan origination systems like Defi, Sync1 Systems, MeridianLink, and GDS Link provide lenders with turnkey access to Point Predictive's fraud consortium, making participating turnkey. These seamless integrations have been particularly valuable for captive finance companies, banks, and auto lenders seeking to streamline their origination processes while strengthening fraud defenses.
