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.

EdgeRunner AI Emerges from Stealth with $5.5M Seed Funding to Build Generative AI for the Edge

EdgeRunner AI, a new startup building Generative AI for the edge, announced today its official launch and the closing of a $5.5 million seed funding round led by Four Rivers Group with participation from Madrona Ventures and strategic angels. The funding will go towards building EdgeRunner AI’s innovative platform, powered by state-of-the-art transparent models designed to operate seamlessly on any device or hardware without requiring internet access. This technology will transform how enterprises and organizations responsibly deploy Generative AI, providing them with hyper-personalization and domain specific use cases.

"The challenge with Generative AI today lies in its broad applicability without addressing specific business needs," said Tyler Xuan Saltsman, Co-Founder and CEO of EdgeRunner AI. "At EdgeRunner, we empower organizations to own their AI. From my military experience in Eastern Europe, I saw the need for personalized, domain specific, and secure AI in isolated environments. Black box proprietary models are aligned to the cloud rather than the user. Understanding the biases within these opaque models is complex and critical for both usability and safety. Our approach ensures full transparency of models from weights and code to architecture and datasets, that doesn't require you to move your data and can run on any device and chip.”

By developing small, task-specific open models optimized for any chip, EdgeRunner AI elevates SLMs (Small Language Models) into Ultra-Efficient Language Models (UELMs). This allows organizations to run AI models locally on any device or hardware, resulting in improved performance, increased data privacy, near zero latency, and reduced power consumption, for a better, more sustainable future.

“Enterprises and governments don’t need GPT-5 or AGI. What they need is to responsibly deploy Generative AI to solve their real-world business challenges using multiple small, task-specific open models working together to create swarm intelligence,” said Colton Malkerson, Co-Founder & COO of EdgeRunner AI.
