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.

Uno Re Covers Umbrella Network Reward Pool Hack Victims' Losses

By: Newsfile

Tallinn, Estonia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2022) - On March 20th, 2022, hackers exploited Umbrella Network's Polar Stream staking contracts on both Ethereum and BNB Chain and drained the LP tokens staked in both of the contracts. Umbrella Network had insurance coverage from decentralized insurance platform Uno Re and their claim has been accepted by the insurer.

Umbrella Network announced the hack on Twitter the same day the incident happened.

It is reported that the attack was due to an underflow bug in the smart contract code. Hackers managed to withdraw liquidity using the stolen LP tokens from both the UMB-ETH Uniswap and the UMB-BNB Pancakeswap pools.

Subsequently, hackers were then able to sell over 2.2 million UMB tokens to the open market. Umbrella Network also notified users that their stolen UMB, BNB, and ETH will be returned to their wallets within 48 hours.

Following the incident, Umbrella Network's affected staking pool and any pending changes/new additions to Umbrella Network's policy have been temporarily frozen.

Besides the Umbrella Network hack, several staking pools have been compromised by hackers in the past year alone. It is worth mentioning that most of the compromised protocols have had their codes audited sometimes multiple times from a variety of reputed audit firms. However, the fact that even audited protocols get hacked points to the need for DeFi insurance as the stolen tokens in staking pools belong to no other than users.

Thankfully, Umbrella Network has already taken necessary precautions and partnered with a reputed insurance provider, Uno Re.

The details of the claim payout to be made by Uno Re

Uno Re and Umbrella Network's partnership began in August 2021. The partnership was formed to ensure compensation for users' possible losses due to unauthorized, malicious, or criminal acts specifically aiming at exploiting the smart contracts' code vulnerabilities.

As per the agreement, Uno Re processed the claim submitted by Umbrella Network. Upon the investigation conducted by Uno Re's Claims Assessment Team, the details have been forwarded to the Uno Re Claims Adjudication Committee for a vote and the committee has decided to accept the claim.

As a result, users whose assets are irrecoverably lost are entitled to receive up to $10k each as stated in the contract between Uno Re and Umbrella Network. In conclusion, 91% of affected wallet addresses are being covered and appropriately compensated as per the cover terms and conditions.

The claim payout amount will be processed from Uno Re's premium pool and will be carried out without utilizing any of the protocol's stalking pools ensuring zero capital erosion for the staked community.

Jaskanwar Singh, CEO, and Co-founder of Uno Re has stated "It is with regret that we observe the outbreaks of smart contract hacks within the DeFi space that cause users to lose their hard-earned assets. Uno Re dedicates itself to maintaining the security of the DeFi space to contribute to its growth. The partnership of Umbrella Network and Uno Re is a prime example of how DeFi insurance safeguards users' staked assets."

"This claim payout is the first one to be made by Uno Re, showcasing the efficacy and robustness of our protocol's risk management framework. Thanks to such strong alliances, the future of DeFi looks bright despite the presence of malicious actors," he added.

This hack further proves why insurance for crypto assets is absolutely essential to maintain a sustainable, safe, and long-lasting crypto ecosystem. As with previous staking pool hacks and the recent Umbrella Network hack, the real victim of smart contract exploitations are the users. As long as smart contract flaws remain, insurance will be the only guarantee users and protocols can rely on.
