About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Algolia Launches Next-Generation Crawler: Simplifying Data Ingestion for Developers

Algolia, the world’s only end-to-end AI Search platform, today announced the availability of its next-generation Crawler, a critical tool rebuilt to enable developers to ingest data into Algolia AI Search more quickly and easily while spending less time on configuration and maintenance. This automated web scraping program simplifies and accelerates the ingestion of data by scanning web pages of any size.

A Powerful Tool for Seamless Data Ingestion

The next-generation Crawler is a powerful tool in data ingestion that effortlessly extracts content from an owned website. By navigating through linked pages, the Crawler quickly populates and updates Algolia AI Search indices when it detects changes automatically. The Crawler is tailored for developers seeking a fast and convenient method to implement search capabilities, freeing them up to work on their core product instead.

Tim Benniks, Developer Relations Leader at Outreach and Hygraph, said: “It’s really awesome that Algolia’s new Crawler parses schema.org formats on my website and recognizes that the content is actually a blog post. It just works!”

Streamlining Data Integration Across Multiple Sources

In scenarios where customers’ websites are managed by different teams or powered by various systems, the new Crawler shines as a highly convenient solution. It eliminates the traditionally time-consuming and resource-intensive processes associated with data integration, providing a swift time to value.

The Crawler can simplify data ingestion by sidestepping the complexities of building and maintaining an indexing pipeline. It is ideal in situations where the data structure is complex and there are limitations in the ability to send data to Algolia via API clients.

Philip Schmitt, Software Consultant, TNG Technology Consulting noted that the Self-Service Crawler will help developers extract, format, and upload content from multiple sites to the Algolia AI Search platform: “The Algolia Crawler is a great fit for our corporate website. It aggregates distributed content rapidly, and automatically and periodically updates aggregated content without adding any complexity to our codebase. Moreover, it enables accurate and efficient search through records, thus enhancing the search experience for users.”

Additionally, Algolia provides data connectors so that users can connect to popular sources such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and CSV formats to further enrich their records and improve the relevance in their search results.

Introducing Usage-Based Pricing

The reimagined Algolia Crawler will be available to all current Algolia Price plans. This will include 10,000 free crawls per month as part of Algolia’s ‘start for free’ Build program for developers. Developers can start experimenting with the new Crawler immediately and at no cost.

Bharat Guruprakash, Chief Product Officer, said: “The Algolia next-generation Crawler is available to developers, business users, and enterprise customers, and it will be integrated into the AI Search onboarding process. This easy-to-use and fast, low code solution enables data ingestion in minutes and is particularly beneficial for users who wish to build a proof of concept and experiment with it quickly, without initially uploading sensitive data.”

Getting started in minutes with No/Low code Configuration

The new Crawler features guided onboarding with intuitive step-by-step directions to facilitate a fast and easy setup. This streamlined approach includes a visual alternative to a traditional code editor – a No-Code Configurator for common settings (e.g., scheduling specific times for automatic crawls, listing of pages to be ignored, inputting login credentials for password-protected sites, and more).

Algolia continues to innovate and provides tools, such as the Self-Service Crawler, to streamline complex processes, enabling developers to focus on their core project. Developers can try the Self-Service Crawler and AI Search for free here.
