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.

Bitget Wallet Launches USD-Based Crypto Card in Brazil, Eye Latin America Expansion

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, has launched its USD-based, zero-fee Mastercard crypto payment card in Brazil, marking its entry into Latin America's fast-growing digital payments market. Expansion to Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Guatemala will follow in the coming months, with additional rollouts in Asia-Pacific planned later this year. Issued in partnership with infrastructure provider Immersve, the card allows users to spend crypto directly from their wallets at over 150 million merchants that accept Mastercard globally.

Available exclusively via the Bitget Wallet app, the card offers instant, fully digital issuance using Mastercard Digital First technology. Users can top up in real time using USDC, spend via Apple Pay and Google Pay, and benefit from instant crypto-to-fiat conversion. The card charges no top-up fees and applies no transaction fees on USD payments.

Designed for users who hold stablecoins to hedge against local currency volatility, the card offers a way to earn yield — up to 10% annually — on idle balances in the wallet while maintaining access to everyday spending. This positions it as a potential alternative to traditional bank cards for international payments, online shopping, and travel. Users can spend in USD directly from their wallets, without needing to rely on local banks or perform conversions into fiat.

"Latin America is one of the world's most dynamic crypto economies, making it a natural next step for our global expansion," said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. "With the Bitget Wallet Card, we're unlocking real-world payments for millions of users across the region, helping crypto evolve from an investment asset into a usable currency. This launch marks a key step in our vision of building a global payments network powered by self-custodial wallets."

"Latin America's crypto adoption is among the highest in the world, and we see this region as a proving ground for real-world blockchain payments," said Jerome Faury, CEO of Immersve. "This partnership demonstrates how traditional payment rails and crypto wallets can work together to deliver seamless and scalable solutions for everyday spending."

Bitget Wallet, with over 80 million users globally, is expanding its product suite under a broader PayFi strategy. Alongside the crypto card, the wallet supports QR Scan-to-Pay, in-app Shop purchases, and integrated yield products — aiming to create a comprehensive self-custodial platform for spending, earning, and managing digital assets.
