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.

Ziff Davis & Xyla Partner to Drive Innovation Using Artificial Intelligence; Initial Focus in Healthcare Vertical

Ziff Davis, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZD), a vertically focused digital media and internet company, and Xyla, Inc., an artificial intelligence (AI) company at the forefront of the development of retrieval-augmented large language model AI systems for accuracy-critical domains, have entered into a strategic partnership focused on AI enablement across digital media, software, and information services.

The first initiative in the partnership will be to integrate Xyla’s OpenEvidence technology into Ziff Davis’ Everyday Health Group with the mission of turning medical information into medical knowledge for healthcare professionals. OpenEvidence was the first medical AI to score above 90% on the US Medical Licensing Examination. With OpenEvidence, healthcare professionals can access and analyze vast amounts of medical information, published research, and clinical trial data, assisting them in making informed clinical decisions to improve patient outcomes. OpenEvidence technology will drive enhanced and personalized engagements with healthcare professionals as part of Everyday Health Group’s physician-focused MedPageToday®, a trusted digital source for clinical news coverage across medical specialties.

The Ziff Davis-Xyla partnership has two key elements:

  1. Xyla Investment. Ziff Davis is purchasing $25 million of Xyla equity for a minority ownership stake in the company. A portion of the investment will be funded with cash and a portion of the investment will be funded with Ziff Davis common stock with Xyla leadership exchanging a portion of their Xyla shares for Ziff Davis common stock.
  2. Long-Term Collaboration Agreement. Ziff Davis and Xyla are entering into a long-term collaboration agreement that establishes a framework for the parties to rapidly define, develop, and deploy AI at discrete brands and businesses within the Ziff Davis portfolio.

Through this partnership, Xyla will gain access to large audiences and data sets in high-value, domain focused categories across the Ziff Davis portfolio, as well as monetization capabilities. Ziff Davis, in turn, will gain access to Xyla’s AI technology and expertise in retrieval-augmented large language models that are capable of generating precise and authoritative content. Together, the companies will collaborate to transform user experiences and products across Ziff Davis’ core verticals.

“As we have studied potential AI use cases, we are energized by the countless opportunities to create value and drive innovation and transformation across our portfolio,” said Vivek Shah, Chief Executive Officer of Ziff Davis. “We have been actively searching for the right partner to help us accelerate our efforts in AI, and I am thrilled to be partnering with Xyla and Dr. Daniel Nadler, one of the earliest entrepreneurial innovators in AI.”

“I founded Xyla to bridge the application of large language models to domains where accuracy and precision are paramount,” said Dr. Daniel Nadler, Founder and CEO of Xyla. “Ziff Davis’ focus on producing high-quality, human fact-checked reference information across multiple verticals—including in healthcare, where they are a top internet health publisher—along with its breadth of audience reach make it an ideal partner for us. We have assembled a world-class team of experts in AI, and machine learning broadly, who are excited to partner with Ziff Davis.”
