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.

RELEX Advances Gen AI Capabilities to Unlock Faster, Data-driven, Actionable Insights

RELEX Rebot empowers retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and consumer goods and manufacturing brands with next-generation AI assistance

RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions, today announced new, advanced capabilities with Rebot, the new RELEX Gen AI tool. Originally launched as RELEX-GPT in June 2023, Rebot has undergone extensive testing and refinement over the several months. This evolution from RELEX-GPT to Rebot marks a significant advancement, offering users even more powerful and intuitive tools for optimizing their supply chain and retail operations. The tool is now available for all RELEX users.

Rebot has shown exceptional results in its initial testing phase. An internal survey revealed a 19% increase in productivity in 2023, with estimates indicating a further 32% gain for 2024-2025. Rebot also successfully answered over 50,000 questions during the beta trial, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for transforming retail decision-making.

Built on leading advancements in generative AI, Rebot leverages the capabilities of OpenAI GPT-4 and RELEX’s deep retail and supply chain expertise to boost productivity, creativity, and decision-making for RELEX customers. This support includes explaining complex functionalities, troubleshooting issues, and guiding users toward best practices, all tailored to their unique business needs, through an intuitive chat feature. Rebot can also direct customers, partners, and employees to various learning materials for in-depth information on various topics.

The goal of Rebot is to become the user’s trusted companion by suggesting recommendations on actions to resolve exceptions and other potential issues, help the user better understand their data, and how to apply that information in practice. Additionally, the tool allows users to save time by eliminating the need to browse through multiple views.

RELEX is dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of Rebot, ensuring it remains at the forefront of retail technology innovation. Future development plans include advanced personalization features, deeper integration into the RELEX suite, and expanding multilingual support to cater to a global customer base.

RELEX envisions Rebot not just as a tool but as a partner in their customers' success, providing insights and support that are tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of the retail, wholesale and distribution, and consumer goods and manufacturing industries.

"Rebot was born out of our unwavering commitment to empower retail professionals with not just data, but actionable insights," said Mikko Kärkkäinen, CEO of RELEX Solutions. "In today's dynamic environment, the ability to make informed decisions quickly is more critical than ever. We envisioned Rebot as a tool that not only answers questions but anticipates the needs of our users, providing them with the right information at the right time. This is more than innovation; it's about transforming the way our customers interact with our solutions, making every aspect of retail planning and execution as intuitive and efficient as possible. With Rebot, we're not just looking to the future of retail optimization—we're actively building it."
