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.

Datatel Launches Podcast: Call Deflection with Purpose: How IVR Payments Reduce Volume Without Reducing Service

New podcast reveals how IVR Payments are helping organizations cut staff load, improve CX, and reduce PCI scope during peak periods.

(PRUnderground) August 26th, 2025

Datatel, August 26, 2025 a leader in secure payment solutions, has launched a new podcast episode exploring how Interactive Voice Response – IVR Payments are transforming customer service by reducing live staff call volume without sacrificing service.

Titled “Call Deflection with Purpose: How IVR Payments Reduce Volume Without Reducing Service” the episode challenges the outdated view that call deflection means pushing customers away. Instead, listeners learn how organizations are using IVR Payments to reduce PCI exposure, cut agent burnout, and serve more customers especially during high-pressure periods like utility disconnect windows or healthcare billing spikes.

Key topics include:

  • Why call deflections about better service, NOT avoidance
  • How IVR Payments deliver 24/7 payment access and security
  • Real-world examples, including a 90% drop in agent-handled payment calls
  • Lessons from hospitals and utilities already benefiting from IVR

“IVR Payments give organizations a scalable way to improve service, reduce wait times, and remove credit card handling from contact centers,” said Barnard Crespi, Co-CEO of Datatel. “Our podcast walks you through how it works and why it matters.”

The podcast is available now on Datatel’s website.
