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.

How can I finance a bike?

By: iCrowdNewswire

Some ride to relax, while others get an adrenaline rush from it. Motorcycles provide a level of freedom simply not available when driving on four wheels. Sleek convertibles and high-end sports cars come close, but they’re toys for rich people. Working-class folks prefer a bike. With the right motorcycle loan, they can have one for a price they can afford.

Financing can be tricky for those with no experience with it. There are multiple options for financing a bike and several questions that need to be answered before agreeing to any of them. Before a person gets into how to do this, they will need to check their credit score. It’s going to be a major factor in the terms and conditions of any financing they receive can get.

 

Should you agree to dealer financing?

Motorcycle dealers generally have lending partners that can offer financing for motorcycle buyers. They use this to advertise their business. Slogans like “no money down” and “all buyers approved” lure prospective customers and close deals for them. Those are nice features. Taking advantage of them doesn’t necessarily mean getting the best deal.

Sales is a game of leverage and levers. When a salesperson offers “no money down,” either the financing fees are high, or the sticker price is marked up. “All buyers approved” means the dealership is batching loan applications. Interest rates at places like that will always be higher than at traditional banks or online lenders, even with a low credit score.

This is not to say that all motorcycle dealers do this. It’s important for buyers to read the fine print. There are dealers that want to save their customers money so they can get repeat business and referrals from them. Those are good places to buy a bike. Customers should ask a lot of questions, and not jump at the first offer. The customer has the leverage and the salesperson needs the commission.

 

Banks, credit unions, and online lenders

Going to the bank before going to the dealership can save a person hundreds of dollars on a new motorcycle. Banks can do a pre-approval letter that the customer can take to the dealer, eliminating the need for dealer financing. In most cases, the bank loan terms will be better than what the finance company can offer, particularly if they have an account at that bank.

Credit unions have even better deals. Account-holders at credit unions are members, not customers, which gives them certain privileges that they wouldn’t get with a traditional bank. The credit union might even have a motorcycle dealer on their member list that they can do business with. A pre-qualification letter sent to a member should also open some doors.

The average cost of a new motorcycle is less than $10,000. That’s not for a fully loaded Harley, but there are models that can be bought for $4,000 to $6,000. Many buyers will take out a personal loan to cover that rather than jump through the hoops of dealer financing. If that’s the route they choose, online lenders might offer the best terms.

 

The Bottom Line

There are multiple options for financing a motorcycle. Most dealers offer financing through a lending partner. Banks and credit unions can do pre-approved loans before going to the dealership. Online lenders can provide low-cost personal loans for motorcycles. It’s important to shop around and find the best loan. There are plenty of choices available.
