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.

Elite FI Partners and NextGen Virtual F&I – Delivering Dealers a True Finance Department Upgrade

By: PRLog
How NextGen Virtual F&I Transforms Finance From a Burden Into a Growth Engine

TUCSON, Ariz. - Aug. 16, 2025 - PRLog -- Elite FI Partners and NextGen Virtual F&I have come together to deliver a groundbreaking solution that helps dealers increase profitability, strengthen compliance, and free up valuable time. Unlike broker-style services or remote support, NextGen functions as a true Virtual Finance Department fully integrated into the dealership's operations.

"Dealers have been asking for something more than a vendor that just pushes deals through," said Michael Aufmuth, Principal at Elite FI Partners. "NextGen is different. NextGen works as an extension of the dealership's F&I office, building lender relationships, presenting products, and funding deals as if we were in-house."

Proven Results from Case Study

A recent case study by Elite FI Partners revealed that dealers using NextGen have seen:
  • 20% increase in per-vehicle retail profit
  • Faster lender approvals and funding
  • Improved compliance and customer satisfaction

One dealer highlighted the operational relief: "I'm finally able to focus on sourcing inventory instead of getting buried in finance paperwork. NextGen gave me back the bandwidth to grow my business."

Aufmuth added, "This is what it's all about. Dealers shouldn't have to choose between running their business and running their finance office. NextGen Virtual F&I makes both possible."

How NextGen Virtual F&I Stands Apart

The NextGen Virtual F&I provides:
  • Seamless integration with the dealership's existing lenders
  • Professional deal submission, funding, and compliance support
  • Product presentation that maximizes profitability
  • Assistance with expanding lender relationships

"NextGen isn't about outsourcing," said Michael Aufmuth. "It's about upgrading. Our Virtual F&I model ensures every deal is handled by experienced professionals who care about the dealer's success as much as the dealer does."

Future-Ready Finance

With staffing challenges, tighter margins, and growing compliance requirements, the demand for reliable Virtual F&I solutions has never been greater. NextGen gives dealers immediate access to top-tier finance talent without the overhead of hiring in-house.

"Dealers trust us because we've been in their shoes," said Aufmuth. "I spent years running finance departments inside dealerships, and I know what it takes to keep deals compliant, profitable, and moving. NextGen delivers peace of mind and measurable ROI from day one."

Founded in 2013, Elite FI Partners provides industry-leading F&I products, training, and support to dealerships nationwide. The company's innovative solutions, including NextGen Virtual F&I, help dealers increase profit, improve compliance, and free up time to focus on growth.
