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.

Jabra Enhance launches Enhance Select 700 – the world’s smallest rechargeable receiver-in-ear hearing aid for the over-the-counter market

  • The Select 700 features SoundScape™ technology, now with Auto Focus, for natural hearing even in the noisiest situations
  • The hearing aids deliver expanded hands-free calling across more Android and Apple devices and are made for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast™ for future-ready connectivity

Jabra Enhance Select 700 Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids

LOWELL, Mass., Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jabra Enhance, a leader in virtual audiology services and the direct-to-consumer hearing care space, today launches Jabra Enhance Select 700, a micro receiver-in-ear (RIE) hearing aid with its most advanced hearing aid technology to date. The Select 700 is the new flagship model in Jabra Enhance’s lineup of over-the-counter hearing aids. It features innovative SoundScape technology, now with Auto Focus, allowing wearers to hear speech more clearly and comfortably even in the noisiest environments with the world’s smallest rechargeable RIE hearing aid.

The Select 700 are made for hearing in noise and are equipped with SoundScape proprietary speech clarity technology. SoundScape is the accumulation of the most advanced hearing technology Jabra Enhance offers that prioritizes speech, reduces background noise and provides immersive awareness of your surroundings. SoundScape is even further enhanced in the Select 700, featuring Auto Focus to automatically adapt to your environment and optimize the hearing aid microphones in real-time, providing the company’s best speech clarity and background noise reduction yet.

The hearing aids are also equipped with advanced hearing features including intelligent feedback management which learns what triggers feedback for wearers and dynamically eliminates it, ensuring a feedback-free hearing experience. The Select 700 also intelligently detects and softens sudden, loud noises—like clanking silverware or jangling keys—so listening remains smooth, comfortable, and clear.

“Nearly 80% of hearing aid users struggle with hearing speech in noisy environments,” said Steve Jacobs, president of Jabra Enhance. “The Select 700 is designed to address that challenge, delivering enhanced speech while reducing distracting background noise for a more effortless, natural hearing experience – no matter the setting.”

The Select 700 is Jabra Enhance’s smallest and lightest rechargeable micro RIE design to date, offering all-day comfort in a virtually invisible form. The Select 700 was also built with a stronger, all-weatherproof design – including an IP68 certification and a protective nanocoating on every component, keeping them safe from water, sweat, dust, and rain. A single charge powers the Select 700 for a full day, and for on-the-go power, the included charging case holds up to three full charges before having to be plugged in to recharge.

With the Select 700, users can take calls just like earbuds. The hearing aids offer a hands-free calling experience with expanded compatibility across Android or Apple devices. With TapControl built in, users can conveniently answer calls with a simple double tap on their ear or hearing aid without needing to reach for their phone.

The Select 700 is also made for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast technology. Bluetooth LE Audio is the new standard in connectivity that enhances audio quality, extends battery life and improves connection stability when streaming calls, music or other media. With Auracast support, users can receive direct audio transmissions in equipped concert venues, event spaces and public transit centers, unlocking a new level of accessibility and convenience.

Jabra Enhance Select 700 also comes with 3 years of comprehensive access to virtual audiology services for free. Customers gain access to Jabra Enhance’s in-house team of licensed U.S. hearing professionals which provide personalized audiology services by using clinical software to professionally program the Select 700. Personalization is based on customers’ audiograms or online hearing test results, including unlimited adjustments and support. This allows for continuous fine-tuning and further personalization of the hearing aids to ensure optimal performance as individual hearing needs evolve.
