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.

MSUFCU’s partnership with CashBack+ shows how credit unions can elevate rewards and member Engagement

NEW YORK, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prizeout, the leader in advertising and financial technology, announced today the significant impact of its CashBack+ Offers product at Michigan State University Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU), a $8.2 billion credit union serving over 350,000 members. CashBack+ Offers is part of Prizeout’s larger CashBack+ ecosystem, which also includes the newly launched Pay, which MSUFCU is using to further member engagement and digital transaction volume.

Since launching CashBack+ Offers in early 2024 which gives members instant cashback on everyday purchases, MSUFCU has seen a 15% month-over-month rise in purchase volume.

“At Prizeout, we believe in helping credit unions grow by putting more money into their members’ pockets,” said David Metz, Founder and CEO of Prizeout. “MSUFCU’s results show that when you reward members instantly and meaningfully, without complexity, they keep coming back.”

MSUFCU was seeking a secure, user-friendly way to reward member loyalty without adding friction. Traditional rewards programs have historically focused on credit card users, leaving checking and debit card holders without similar benefits. CashBack+ Offers, embedded directly within MSUFCU’s online and mobile banking experiences, so well-solved that challenge by giving every member access to real-time, merchant-funded cashback on everyday purchases - no points, no delays.

“CashBack+ Offers from Prizeout has quickly proven to be a great tool that our members love using, especially when we know every dollar matters,” said Ami Iceman, Chief Experience Officer at MSUFCU. “For years, we looked for a simple and secure way to reward our members without complicated steps. This solution finally delivers.”

Key results from the CashBack+ offers launch at MSUFCU:

  • Increased engagement: CashBack+ users are 3.5x more likely to log into online banking.
  • Consistent usage: Users check for new offers 1.7 times per week.
  • Increased spend: Active users are spending 17% of their eligible spend with CashBack+ monthly.
  • Revenue growth: Monthly purchase volume is increasing by 15%.
  • Recurring activity: Two-thirds of users make repeat purchases each quarter.
  • Meaningful member earnings:
    • Top 25% of users are on track to earn $190 annually.
    • Average user is on track to earn $112 annually.
    • Reward rates average 8–10%, far exceeding the national credit card average of 1–2%.

CashBack+ Offers also delivers a new, sustainable source of non-interest income for MSUFCU, with a revenue share that outpaces traditional debit interchange per transaction.

“Prizeout’s CashBack+ ecosystem is packed with valuable products for our members,” said Iceman. “Just last month, we launched their newest feature, Pay, and in only one month we’ve already seen member spend increase by over 25%, driving a meaningful boost in non-interest income.”

Prizeout is currently partnered with more than 40+ credit unions nationwide and continues to expand rapidly.
