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.

Powering the Future: Diplomatic Trade Mobilizes Global Capital to Anchor UAE's AI Era





Backed by U.S. and GCC financial institutions, Diplomatic Trade's initiative aims to make the UAE the epicenter of AI innovation in the Arab world.

DUBAI, UAE / NEW YORK, NY, May 17, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a defining move aligned with the UAE's landmark AI alliance with the United States, Diplomatic Trade Ltd (DTL), a U.S.–UAE headquartered strategic investment firm, together with its capital markets arm DTL Capital, is proud to announce the launch of a sovereign-aligned AI investment platform. This initiative is backed by a consortium of U.S., European, and GCC-based financial institutions, aiming to position the UAE as the MENA region's undisputed leader in sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure.

"We are not just investing in AI — we are helping shape the future digital backbone of the Arab world," said Benjamin Ballout, Chairman of Diplomatic Trade Ltd.

This program coincides with the UAE's deepening AI ties with the United States, including direct access to advanced Nvidia chipsets and the joint development of the world's largest AI data campus outside North America.

Initiative Highlights:
• Over $100 million multi-phase AI investment roadmap, launching in Q3 2025
• Establishment of UAE-based AI sovereign infrastructure, including:
o Secure data centers optimized for high-performance computing (HPC)
o Arabic-trained Large Language Models (LLMs)
o Smart government, healthcare, fintech, logistics, and security applications
• Licensing & expansion into GCC, North Africa, and emerging markets

Strategic Backing
DTL Capital is backed by a multi-national financial consortium comprising U.S.-based family offices, GCC sovereign-aligned entities, and tech-aligned investment platforms. These institutions will co-invest, co-develop, and co-scale AI technologies across public-private sectors. "This isn't just a technology venture — it's a national infrastructure play. The future of sovereign AI will be built in the Gulf," added Ballout.

Government Engagement & Regional Sovereignty
Diplomatic Trade Ltd is actively engaging with UAE ministries, sovereign wealth funds, and digital economy councils to structure AI programs that align with Vision 2031, national data governance laws, and UAE's global leadership objectives in AI, cybersecurity, and energy transformation.
The firm will also co-host a Sovereign AI Summit in Abu Dhabi (Q4 2025) with leading partners from the United States and the Gulf to unveil foundational platforms for Arabic-speaking nations.

About Diplomatic Trade Ltd
Diplomatic Trade Ltd is an international trade and investment firm with operations across the United States, UAE, and Europe. Its private capital arm, DTL Capital, specializes in sovereign partnerships, AI, fintech, infrastructure, and strategic co-investments in high-growth regions.
