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.

Working Smarter and Doing More with Every Document

Acrobat AI Assistant is a new generative AI-powered conversational engine that is deeply integrated into Reader and Acrobat workflows. AI Assistant is bringing generative AI to the masses, unlocking new value from the information inside the more than 3 trillion PDFs in the world.

“Whether it’s doing taxes, collaborating on contracts or creating and sharing research papers, Acrobat is the trusted platform for PDFs,” said Abhigyan Modi, senior vice president of Adobe Document Cloud. “Acrobat AI Assistant empowers billions of people to shift from reading documents to having a conversation – enabling them to get insights and format and share content from all kinds of digital documents – quickly and easily.”

Delivering Increased Productivity with AI Assistant Across Document Types

Acrobat AI Assistant features give users the power to work more productively with their PDFs – and documents in other formats – including Word, PowerPoint, meeting transcripts and more.

  • AI Assistant: Chat with your PDFs and other documents. AI Assistant recommends questions based on a PDF’s content and answers questions about what’s in the document through an intuitive conversational interface.
  • Generative summary: Get a quick understanding of the content inside long documents with short overviews in easy-to-read formats.
  • Intelligent citations: Adobe’s custom attribution engine and proprietary AI generate citations so customers can easily verify the source of AI Assistant’s answers.
  • Easy navigation: Clickable links help customers quickly locate the information they need in long documents so they can focus their time exploring and actioning the most essential information.
  • Compelling content: Consolidate and format information into top takeaways and text for emails, presentations, blogs, reports, and more. A “copy” button makes creating and sharing compelling content simple.
  • Respect for customer data: AI Assistant features in Reader and Acrobat are governed by data security protocols, and no customer document content is stored or used to train AI Assistants without their consent.

With Acrobat AI Assistant, knowledge workers can summarize takeaways and action items from long meeting transcripts and analysts can quickly surface and share top findings in research reports. Teachers and students can create study guides. Sales teams can quickly locate key information from technical documents for RFPs and learn about customer pain points to inform their strategies and presentations. Consumers can easily find information like terms and conditions for warranties in long contracts and agreements.

Bringing AI Assistant to All Surfaces

Acrobat AI Assistant launched on Acrobat desktop and web in February as a beta. Adobe is bringing Acrobat AI Assistant to all surfaces with the introduction of mobile and web extensions.

Acrobat AI Assistant is now available in beta on Acrobat Reader mobile with voice commands, enabling customers to use their voice to ask AI Assistant questions, summarize documents and more. With the new mobile app, Acrobat AI Assistant delivers vital insights and information analysis wherever users are and allows them to effortlessly create high-quality content for emails, study guides, blog posts and more by talking to their phones.

Acrobat AI Assistant is also available through Acrobat’s existing Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge extensions, allowing even more users to quickly get from web search to comprehension and action in an instant. Whether doing research for a school topic or a new business idea, most people start by searching the web – and a lot of the most valuable information they find online lives in PDFs. Acrobat AI Assistant provides Chrome and Edge users with quick answers and overviews in easy-to-read formats without users ever having to leave their browsers.

Building Trust in Generative AI for PDFs

PDF is the place where individuals and organizations keep their most important information. For 30 years, Adobe Acrobat has been the gold standard for reading, editing and transforming PDFs. Acrobat AI Assistant supplements third-party LLM technologies with the same artificial intelligence and machine learning models behind the award-winning Liquid Mode to provide a unique understanding of PDF structure and content, greatly enhancing the quality and reliability of Acrobat AI Assistant’s outputs. Adobe’s custom attribution engine generates citations so customers can easily verify the source of the responses.

Like other Adobe AI features, Acrobat AI Assistant was developed in alignment with Adobe’s AI Ethics processes and has guardrails in place so that all customers – from individuals to the largest enterprises – can use the features with confidence. When working with third-party LLMs, Adobe takes an agnostic approach, selecting best-in-class technologies that address a range of customer use cases. Adobe prohibits third-party LLMs from training on Adobe customer data.

Pricing and Availability

The full range of Acrobat AI Assistant capabilities is available to customers with free Reader or paid Acrobat for individual plans when they purchase a new AI Assistant add-on subscription. Early access pricing for the AI Assistant add-on subscription starts at US$4.99 per month and is available until June 5, 2024. Acrobat AI Assistant subscription plans are available on desktop and web in English—other languages to follow. AI Assistant on Reader mobile (beta) is available in English for free for a limited time directly in the Reader mobile app.
