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.

Taiwan Looks to Blockchain to Evade Chinese Hackers

Taiwan is planning on leveraging blockchain’s security capabilities to bolster its cyber security and make it more resistant to Chinese cyberattacks. The east Asian country’s government launched the blockchain-based project soon after U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visited the island, the first such visit by a senior-level official in more than two decades.

Designed in 2014 by Juan Benet, the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) will allow Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Affairs to protect its infrastructure from online attacks. Built using blockchain technology, IPFS is a decentralized peer-to-peer network that allows users to circumvent centralized points of failure by storing and backing up websites and files across a wide network of different nodes. This technology also makes it possible for users to get around online censorship efforts, an issue that is prevalent in neighboring China.

The Taiwanese Ministry of Digital Affairs (MODA) will integrate IPFS technology into its web portal to protect it from attacks. In the wake of Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, the country’s government websites have experienced several attacks including a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that made the sites inaccessible. Officials from Taipei also say that the country saw almost 5 million scans for system vulnerabilities and attacks in 2021.

According to Taiwan Digital Minister Audrey Tang, the new MODA site had not been subject to any attacks since it was first launched when China began practicing military drills around the time Pelosi visited Taiwan. Tang says that the site currently uses both Web2 and Web3 tools, leveraging a Web3 structure that is built and relies on the global Web2 backbone network. Although the new site currently shows “Coming Soon August 2022,” the public can still access multiple files through IPFS.

Speaking to local media outlet Liberty Times, Tang said that the country launched the new MODA site on the day the Chinese military began army drills. Soon after China’s People’s Liberation Army started its military drills, Taiwan saw an uptick in cyberattacks, with the attacks reaching some 15,000 gigabits on Aug. 2, 2022. There were also reported cases of hackers breaking into public signage and displaying messages branding Pelosi as a witch looking to challenge China’s sovereignty and divide the Chinese people.

The east Asian country has traditionally been the target of Chinese cyberattacks, reporting a whopping 20.4 million cyberattacks every month in 2018. The cyberattacks increased after Taiwan elected Tsai Ing Wen as president in 2016, with Taipei stating that the country saw approximately 5 million scans for vulnerabilities or attacks per day last year.

The move made by Taiwan to resort to using blockchain technology to avert potential cyber attacks is just what could end up popularizing the industry and give companies such as HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HIVE) (TSX.V: HIVE) the vote of confidence they need in the eyes of the general public.
