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.

Red5 and CacheFly Partner to Deliver Low Latency Streaming with DVR and Global CDN Reach

For Broadcast-Grade Live and On-Demand Video Solutions

(PRUnderground) September 8th, 2025

Red5, the pioneer in ultra-low latency streaming technology, and CacheFly, a leading global content delivery network provider, today announced a strategic partnership that delivers a comprehensive streaming architecture combining real-time interactivity, VOD with worldwide scale. The integrated solution addresses the growing demand for streaming platforms that deliver broadcast-quality experiences without compromising on global reach or interactive capabilities.

The Red5 Cloud with CacheFly solution combines low-latency streaming with DVR-style playback, failover reliability, and worldwide CDN distribution, extending reach to devices beyond WebRTC. With minimal configuration, developers can transform live streams into on-demand assets while ensuring high-quality performance anywhere in the world.

“The streaming industry has been forced to choose between real-time interactivity and global scale for too long,” said Chris Allen, co-founder and CEO at Red5. “Our partnership with CacheFly eliminates that compromise, delivering a streaming architecture that scales from startup to enterprise while maintaining the responsiveness that modern audiences demand.”

“This collaboration represents a fundamental shift in how we approach streaming infrastructure,” said Nenad Merdanovic, Vice President of Engineering at CacheFly. “By combining our global delivery capabilities with Red5’s real-time streaming innovation, we’re enabling platforms to deliver experiences that were previously impossible at scale.”

What Capabilities This Solution Provides

The Red5-CacheFly integration introduces several breakthrough capabilities that redefine streaming infrastructure:

  • VOD Recording & Playback. Transform live streams into on-demand assets instantly, eliminating the traditional content lifecycle delays that plague broadcasters.
  • Trick Play + Instant Replays. Enable viewers to fast forward, rewind, pause, and replay moments during live events. This brings the control of on-demand viewing to real-time experiences.
  • CDN Playout at Scale. Leverage CacheFly’s global network to ensure high-quality delivery anywhere in the world.
  • Failover with HLS. Seamless fallback to HLS provides broadcast-level reliability that enterprise customers demand.
  • Device Reach Beyond WebRTC. Extend HLS streams to platforms like Roku and connected TVs.
  • Real-Time Stream Scrubbing. Navigate within a live stream as intuitively as on-demand content, redefining viewer expectations for live experiences.

How The Solution Benefits Developers, Startups, and Enterprise

Key benefits of using this solution include:

  • DVR capabilities. Provides the ability to pause, rewind, and replay live streams, giving viewers flexibility and enhancing the overall user experience.
  • Broad device compatibility. HLS is widely supported across browsers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and set-top boxes, ensuring your streams can reach the widest possible audience.
  • Global distribution. Leverages CDN-level delivery to scale content worldwide, adding more distribution points for your streams and supporting large, geographically dispersed audiences.

Industry Applications

The integrated solution serves multiple high-demand streaming applications, including sports and news broadcasts, streaming services, interactive entertainment platforms, live commerce, educational platforms, and more.
