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.

New AI Usage Data Shows Who’s Using AI — and Uncovers a Population of ‘Super-Users’

By: via Business Wire

Nearly half of the general population uses generative AI, and over one-third of them use it every single day

Fifty-two percent of generative AI users say their usage is increasing, while half of the population has never tried it

Sixty-four percent of non-users say they would use generative AI more if it was safe/secure

Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the #1 AI CRM, today released Generative AI Snapshot Research: The AI Divide, a survey of more than 4,000 people across the United States, UK, Australia, and India. The research shows that 49% of people have used generative AI, with over one-third of these users tapping into the technology daily and planning to use it even more. However, the data also shows that half of all people have never used the technology, and 64% of them would use it more if it was safe/secure.

"This data shows just how quickly generative AI usage has taken off in less than a year," said Clara Shih, CEO of Salesforce AI. "In my career, I’ve never seen a technology get adopted this fast. Now, for AI to truly transform how people live and work, organizations must develop AI that is rooted in trust, and easily accessible for everyone to do more enjoyable, productive work.”

Generative AI “super-users” showcase technology’s potential

According to the research, generative AI users are a young, engaged, and confident group of “super-users,” meaning they use the technology frequently and believe they are well on their way to mastering it.

  • 65% of generative AI users are Millennials or Gen Z, and 72% are employed.
  • Nearly 6 in 10 users believe they are on their way to mastering the technology.
  • 70% of Gen Z report using the technology and 52% of them trust the technology to help them make informed decisions.

And, users aren’t slowing down anytime soon — 52% say their usage of generative AI is increasing compared to when they first started.

Generative AI stragglers are unclear on its benefits

In contrast, non-users are older and display a significant lack of engagement with the technology. They report low familiarity with generative AI and are skeptical of its impact.

  • 68% of non-users are Gen X or Baby Boomers.
  • 88% are unclear how generative AI will impact their life.
  • 40% say they aren’t familiar enough with the technology and 32% say the technology is not useful for them.

Moving beyond fun: maturing use cases for generative AI

Generative AI users are still exploring the technology, but looking to expand their use into the workplace and interactions with businesses:

  • 75% of users are looking to automate tasks at work and use generative AI for work communications.
  • 38% use generative AI for fun/messing around, and 34% for learning about topics that interest them.
  • 62% would use generative AI more if it was more safe/secure.

Non-users/stragglers are looking for increased safety, education, and more integration in their lives before they dive in:

  • 70% of non-users would use generative AI more if they knew more about the technology.
  • 64% would use generative AI more if it was more safe/secure.
  • 45% would use generative AI more if it was integrated into technology they already use.
