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.

Rokid Glasses Surpassed $2 Million on Kickstarter Amid Meta's Ray-Ban Display Launch

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 19, 2025 / Rokid today announced that the Rokid Glasses have surpassed $2 million in crowdfunding pledges on Kickstarter 20 days after launch. Following the million-dollar achievement reached during the campaign's launch, the latest milestone marks continued enthusiasm and global demand for the world's lightest full-function AI & AR smart glasses.

At just 49 grams, Rokid Glasses are the lightest camera-equipped full-function smart glasses on the market. They are almost one-third lighter than Meta's new Ray-Ban Display glasses, which weigh around 69 grams. The weight difference, along with ergonomic nose pads, makes Rokid more comfortable for extended wear. Built on the Qualcomm AR1 platform, they deliver enterprise-level performance in a consumer-ready design. The device integrates dual Micro LED waveguide displays (compared to the Meta Ray-Ban Display's single-eye HUD) with a 480×398 resolution per eye and 1500 nits of brightness, providing a bright and discreet augmented reality experience suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

It goes beyond hardware: Meta's glasses are deeply tied to its own app ecosystem, which means users are primarily limited to Meta AI and its associated apps. Rokid has an open ecosystem, supporting popular tools like ChatGPT and Google Maps, as well as custom LLM integrations through its open SDK and developer community.

The glasses are equipped with a 12MP Sony IMX681 first-person camera, featuring LLHDR Night Vision Dynamic Range Optimization, HDR, multi-frame noise reduction, and electronic image stabilization. Supported by a privacy indicator light, the camera captures immersive hands-free photos and video, enabling creators and professionals to record from their own perspective without bulky equipment.

With dual HD directional speakers and a four-microphone array featuring AI noise cancellation, Rokid Glasses enable you to use natural voice commands, make phone calls, and enjoy audio playback without the need for earbuds. The device is designed for reliable use throughout the day.

With Rokid Glasses, everyday life gets easier. Imagine attending a concert, instantly capturing the moment, or jogging in a new city with directions in view. Picture preparing for a speech with scrolling talking points, or understanding signs and conversations abroad. Small moments, like helping with homework, measuring a recipe, or calling someone you love without a phone, become easier. Rokid Glasses enhance these meaningful daily moments.

The Kickstarter campaign remains live, with under a month to go. Early supporters can still purchase the Rokid Glasses at an early-bird price.

"Breaking the $2 million mark demonstrates a global community's confidence in what wearable AI can achieve," said Zoro Shao, Global General Manager of Rokid. "People around the world are showing us they're ready to integrate these tools into daily life, and together we're shaping how the next era of human-computer interaction will unfold."
