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.

The Curious case of R3’s ‘PayPal Mafia’

By: Zexprwire

R3 and the Rise of the “R3 Mafia” in the Web3 Space

London, UK, 26th November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, few organizations have had as profound an impact as R3. Celebrated for its groundbreaking innovations, from the first bond deployed on a blockchain to dominating the field of CBDCs, R3 has not only advanced the blockchain frontier but also fostered a network of alumni who continue to shape the decentralized future.

Sui, Dogecoin, Bitcoin, Tezos, and the emerging Layer 2 solution TEN, were all born from the minds of R3’s earliest employees, forming what some are calling the “R3 Mafia” – a nod to the famed “PayPal Mafia” of Silicon Valley. Just as former PayPal employees and founders went on to create companies like Tesla, LinkedIn, SpaceX, YouTube, Yelp, and Palantir, R3 alumni are now at the forefront of the Web3 revolution.

The R3 Alumni Shaping Web3

The true testament to R3’s influence lies in the achievements of its distinguished alumni:

  • Mike Hearn and Peter Todd: Former Bitcoin Core Developers who played pivotal roles in Bitcoin’s early development. At R3, Mike wrote the first lines of Corda code, while Peter’s work focuses on fortifying blockchain protocols.

  • Ross Nicoll: Former co-founding Core Developer of Dogecoin who contributed to the development of the most recognized memecoin. At R3, Ross developed Corda’s financial libraries.

  • Gavin Thomas: Former COO of R3, now CEO of Obscuro Labs and Co-founder of TEN, bringing smart transparency to Web3.

  • Kostas Chalkias: Co-founder of Sui and former Chief Cryptographer at R3, improving blockchain performance and security.

  • Kathleen Breitman: Co-founder of Tezos, who utilized her R3 experience to develop a self-amending cryptographic ledger.

Other notable alumni include Mike Ward (former Head of Product, now CPO at IOG/Cardano), Cais Manai (former Lead Product Manager, now Co-founder of TEN), and Ian Grigg (inventor of the Ricardian contract).

TEN: Continuing R3’s Tradition of Excellence

Building upon this lineage of innovators, TEN represents the next evolution in blockchain technology. Developed by former R3 leaders and engineers and backed by R3 itself, TEN is a Layer 2 solution designed to overcome current blockchain limitations.

By focusing on enhanced scalability, reduced costs, and programmable cryptography, TEN aims to facilitate the broader adoption of decentralized technologies across all sectors by enabling any Web2 application to be built as a Web3 dApp. The strategic partnership between R3 and TEN brings together R3’s extensive resources and expertise with TEN’s innovative approach.

The Birth of the “R3 Mafia”

As R3 weighs its strategic options, including a potential sale, this marks a defining moment in its history and the birth of the “R3 Mafia.” Just as the “PayPal Mafia” went on to shape Silicon Valley, R3’s alumni are poised to drive the future of Web3.

With a growing list of successful projects and startups led by former R3 employees, the impact of the “R3 Mafia” is set to rival that of their PayPal counterparts. As the blockchain industry continues to evolve, the influence of R3 and its talented alumni will undoubtedly shape the decentralized landscape for years to come.
