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.

Empowering Creators through Responsible Innovation

Adobe is committed to being a trusted partner for creators, integrating technology into its tools in ways that respects and supports the creative community. Adobe takes a creator-first approach to AI innovations, ensuring that its AI features are built in accordance with the company’s AI Ethics principles of accountability, responsibility, and transparency.

Adobe champions transparency in digital content, advocating for the widespread adoption of Content Credentials – a 'nutrition label' for digital content that can show who created it, how it was made, and whether AI was involved. Adobe has been integrating Content Credentials across its Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, where creative professionals can apply Content Credentials to their work to provide information about themselves and their editing process.

Adobe also recently announced a new free web app, Adobe Content Authenticity, which is designed to help creators protect and gain attribution for their work. With the new web app, creators can easily apply Content Credentials in batch to sign their work with their name, social media websites and more. In addition, the Generative AI Training and Usage Preference in the web app allows creators to use Content Credentials to signal if they do not want their content used by or to train other generative AI models on the market. A free, public beta of the web app will be available in Q1 2025.
