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.

National Advertising Division Recommends Dyper Modify Biodegradable Claims for Dyper Brand Diapers

By: iCrowdNewswire

New York, NY – January 31, 2023 – In a challenge brought by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs determined that Dyper, Inc. provided a reasonable basis for claims that certain components of its bamboo viscose diapers are biodegradable but recommended that the claim be further qualified to make clear the circumstances in which the stated diaper components would actually degrade.

NAD also concluded that the claim Dyper’s “Feel more like yoga pants” was a fanciful claim and therefore did not require substantiation.

“Biodegradable” Claim

Kimberly-Clark challenged Dyper’s “biodegradable” claim, which appears in a colored chart on Dyper’s website highlighting four biodegradable components of a Dyper diaper: (1) bamboo viscose fiber nonwoven, (2) tissue, (3) chlorine-free wood pulp, and (4) film.

NAD determined that the challenged chart clearly and conspicuously indicates that only certain components of the diaper are biodegradable and the advertiser’s evidence establishes that these components are fully biodegradable.

Although Dyper’s evidence established that certain components of its diapers are biodegradable, NAD determined that Dyper’s “biodegradable” claim as presented could still be misleading as to the ability of those components to degrade in practice.

NAD therefore recommended that Dyper’s “biodegradable” claim be further qualified to make clear the circumstances in which the stated diaper components would actually degrade.

“Feel More Like Yoga Pants” Claim

NAD considered whether the claim that Dyper diapers “Feel more like yoga pants” is a superior softness and comfort claim. NAD determined that although the challenged claim evokes recognized attributes of yoga pants generally, reasonable consumers would not expect substantiation for such a claim.

Other Claims

During the proceeding, Dyper voluntarily permanently discontinued several challenged environmental benefit claims. Therefore, NAD did not review these claims on the merits.

In its advertiser statement, Dyper stated that it “will comply with National Advertising Division’s recommendations” and that it “appreciates the NAD’s recommendation that Dyper clarify the biodegradability of certain materials used in its products.”
