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.

UserTesting, a SaaS leader in experience research and insights, today unveiled its latest enhancements to the UserTestingⓇ Human Insight Platform. In addition to the general availability of AI Insight Summary, part of UserTesting AI, UserTesting has released new product features tailored to streamline how human insights can be captured across the customer journey, including new mobile camera testing templates and guides that can be used for retail, entertainment, travel, and more, and a product integration with Rally, a user research CRM platform.

AI Insight Summary, a GPT-powered feature, and the latest addition to UserTesting AI, helps companies uncover key themes, trends, and patterns hidden within their human insights–all supported by source data to enable customers to quickly and confidently make key business decisions. Since its launch in August 2023, more than 800 beta customers have been using AI Insight Summary for smarter, faster insights.

“AI Insight Summary has been a game changer. It’s like having a dedicated UX researcher on our team who provides an instant overview of the user experience. It’s an extra set of eyes that points us to high-friction areas and steers us toward improvement opportunities, without requiring our team to watch hours of video,” said Andy Parquette, Lead UX Designer at Panera Bread. “I love that it provides insights and then points to the source video so we can see first-hand what the user has to say directly. AI Insight Summary really is the UX research assistant on the team.”

Features in this product release include:

UserTesting AI Insight Summary

The general availability of UserTesting’s AI Insight Summary marks a significant milestone in re-envisioning how customers accelerate research analysis using AI, already having saved more than 9,500 hours in video analysis since the release of its beta at the end of August 2023. Leveraging a large language model (LLM), this feature can efficiently synthesize key findings and pinpoint crucial moments from multiple data streams, including verbal and behavioral data, and provides evidence-based verification with markers to those source files to verify accuracy of AI analysis.

Advanced Mobile Templates and Guides

UserTesting’s mobile camera testing capabilities offer brands a flexible, fast, and cost-effective way to better understand customer experiences across touchpoints. Companies can utilize the back-facing camera of a mobile device to see an end-to-end omnichannel experience firsthand. UserTesting customers can leverage our new templates to observe in-person experiences and optimize adoption, engagement, satisfaction, and brand loyalty. UserTesting has introduced new mobile camera templates and guides that can be used across industries such as: retail, entertainment, travel, and more.

Integration to Leading User Research CRM, Rally

Companies using Rally can now connect and manage their own audience networks to capture rich video-based insights with UserTesting. With the latest integration, users can more seamlessly and effectively manage their database of audience networks, including streamlining recruitment processes, and launching tests from within Rally directly–making tracking participant testing activity simple from within the Rally UI. As part of the integration, Rally has joined the UserTesting ConnectTech program, created to help builders, designers and creators develop a seamless workflow for integrating customer feedback into their processes for how they design and develop products and experiences.

UserTesting Access Controls and Workspace Enhancements

The updates in this area streamline the management of people, roles, and workspace permissions, providing customers even more control and visibility over their account. User interface enhancements empower customers to intuitively oversee and monitor large teams and deployments, ultimately saving time.

About UserTesting

UserTesting is fundamentally changing the way digital products and experiences are built and delivered by helping organizations get insights from customers–from concept to execution. Built on top of a world-class, on-demand sourcing engine, customers can receive fast, high quality, opt-in feedback from both our proprietary and partner-sourced audience networks around the world. UserTesting offers the industry's most comprehensive experience research solution. Unlike approaches that track user behavior or collect customer listening data on live experiences, then try to infer what that data means, UserTesting enables companies to get input directly from customers–earlier in the process–helping to reduce guesswork, and bringing experience data to life with human insight. The company, formed through the combination of UserTesting & UserZoom, has more than 3,000 customers worldwide, including 75 of the Fortune 100 companies. To learn more, visit www.usertesting.com.
