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.

Democracy Threatened? 72% of Americans Worry Deepfakes Will Influence Upcoming Elections

New research from Jumio reveals consumers feel deepfakes erode trust in politicians, with 70% reporting increased skepticism in online content

Jumio, the leading provider of automated, AI-driven identity verification, risk signals and compliance solutions, today released new findings from its Jumio 2024 Online Identity Study, revealing growing concern among Americans on the political influence AI and deepfakes may have during upcoming elections and how they might influence trust in online media. Deepfakes are realistic-looking, fake media that are created using AI and machine learning to alter images, videos or audio recordings. This technology can fabricate events, statements and appearances, spreading misinformation quickly and deceiving viewers who often take these false narratives as legitimate news.

Recent examples highlight the real-world impact of deepfakes on political processes. In February 2024, an audio deepfake mimicking President Joe Biden was used in an automated phone call urging Democratic voters in New Hampshire not to vote in the primary election. Another instance involved a deepfake video of former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak endorsing controversial policies he never supported, which quickly spread online. These incidents demonstrate how deepfakes can be weaponized to disrupt elections and erode public trust worldwide​.

Jumio’s study examined the views of more than 8,000 adult consumers, split evenly across the United Kingdom, United States, Singapore and Mexico, providing a comprehensive global perspective on the impact of deepfakes. The data revealed that:

  • 72% of American consumers are worried about the potential for AI and deepfakes to influence upcoming elections in their country.
  • U.S. consumers feel deepfakes undermine trust in politicians and media, with 70% reporting increased skepticism in the content they see online, compared to the last election.
  • Only 46% of global consumers believe they could easily spot a deepfake of a political figure or celebrity. This drops to 37% in the U.S. and confidence wanes by age group, with only 22% of Americans age 55 or older trusting their ability.
  • Only 43% of global consumers say they trust political news that they see online, despite the possibility of encountering audio, video and image deepfakes. Americans are much less trusting (32%).

“With half of the global population participating in elections this year, the potential influence and impact of generative AI and deepfakes demand our immediate attention,” said Jumio CEO Robert Prigge. “Public faith in online information is crumbling, demanding a transparent discourse to confront this challenge and empower citizens with the tools to discern and report deepfakes. Online platforms hold a critical duty to leverage cutting-edge detection measures like multimodal, biometric-based verification systems to fortify our defenses against deepfakes influencing pivotal elections."
