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.

News Source: SecuGen Corporation

The Unity 20 USB-S is a smart, all-in-one fingerprint recognition system that provides fingerprint image capture, template extraction and matching

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 29, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — SecuGen is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Unity™ 20 USB-S, a fully programmable fingerprint reader designed for developers and system integrators who need a platform-agnostic biometric solution.

The Unity 20 USB-S is a smart, all-in-one fingerprint recognition system that provides fingerprint image capture, template extraction and matching, as well as advanced fingerprint management capabilities, all in a single ultra-compact device. It features SecuGen’s MINEX-compliant biometric algorithms and its flagship U20-ASF fingerprint sensor that is FBI-certified for PIV/Mobile ID FAP 20 for high quality imaging. With its Serial-over-USB architecture, it enumerates as a standard CDC/ACM virtual COM port—using built-in drivers for modern Windows®, Android®, Linux®, and macOS®.

This approach eliminates dependency on OS-specific biometric frameworks and device drivers while reducing integration risk from OS updates. It also enables rapid deployment in resource-constrained IT environments and compatibility with VDI/thin-clients and remote desktop sessions that support USB or COM-port redirection.

“With the Unity 20 USB-S, we’re giving developers a portable biometric platform that minimizes integration friction,” said Dan Riley, SecuGen’s Vice President of Engineering. “Serial-over-USB means no custom drivers, no OS update risks, and a consistent interface across every operating system.”

SecuGen also offers complimentary developer tools that take advantage of key features of Unity 20 USB-S:

  • Built-in Fingerprint Management System (FMS) API for rapid application development in C/C++, .NET, Python, Java—and any language that can open a serial port
  • Well-documented serial command set, with provided sample code

The Unity 20 USB‑S is designed for a wide range of high‑security applications, including financial self‑service (ATMs, ITMs), government secure workstations, industrial kiosks, healthcare terminals, and retail operator sign‑on. Its robust, all-in-one authentication capabilities make it ideal for environments requiring strong and dependable identity verification.

“At SecuGen, we understand how critical it is for developers to have tools that are both powerful and easy to integrate,” said Won Lee, CEO of SecuGen. “The Unity 20 USB-S reflects our commitment to enabling developers to innovate quickly and deliver reliable, secure biometric solutions without unnecessary complexity.”

The Unity 20 USB-S is available now through SecuGen’s global reseller network. Learn more about the product at https://secugen.com/products/unity-20-usb-s.
