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.

This timely episode explores how organizations can improve security, reduce PCI compliance burdens, and enhance customer experience by adopting automated phone payment solutions.

Hosted by the Datatel team, this insightful episode breaks down how IVR (Interactive Voice Response) technology is transforming the way businesses accept payments over the phone. With growing risks related to manual call handling and rising compliance costs, the podcast reveals how switching to an automated IVR Payment system can protect sensitive payment data, streamline payment workflows, and deliver measurable results.

Listeners will gain practical guidance on:

  • Common risks and hidden costs of live agent payment handling
  • What modern IVR Payment systems look like today
  • How automation improves security, reduces PCI scope, and increases payment completion rates
  • Key considerations for implementation

“The days of exposing your business to risk through live agent phone payments are numbered,” said Barnard Crespi, Co-CEO of Datatel. “This podcast aims to help organizations reframe their approach and understand that there’s a smarter, safer way to manage phone payments without compromising on convenience or control.”

This release is part of Datatel’s broader initiative to help organizations adopt secure, modern payment technologies that align with evolving PCI DSS standards and customer expectations.
