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.

Zeta Economic Index (ZEI) Indicates Divergent US Economic Outlook

Zeta Global’s AI-powered barometer of the US economy rolls out three new economic scores and more granular intent data across industries to provide a more precise view of consumer behavior

Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, today released the Zeta Economic Index (ZEI) for July 2024. The ZEI is one of the first AI-powered economic indexes, utilizing Zeta's proprietary Generative AI technology and real-time consumer behavior from over 240 million deterministic US profiles to provide an assessment of the current state of the economy.

For the month of July, the Economic Index Score and Economic Stability Index both show a marginal uptick, indicating a continued, if muted, expansion of the US economy, despite a slowdown in the growing job market.

  • Economic Index Score: Increased by 0.3% from June to 67.1 and is defined as Active, which is characterized by robust economic activity with healthy growth across various sectors. This is a 1.2% year-over-year increase from July 2023.
  • Economic Stability Index: Increased by 0.3% from the previous quarter to 66.1 and is defined as Stable.

"The steady increase in the core components of the ZEI, which utilizes a multifaceted, real-time approach combining consumer intent data and Generative AI, indicates that the economy is still growing, albeit at a slower pace," said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta Global. "The ZEI shows a divergent economic outlook: consumer activity and spending patterns are trending positively across various industries, however, a slight decline in job market sentiment and a slowdown in particular sectors suggests that further economic expansion will be uneven."

The ZEI utilizes generative AI to analyze trillions of behavioral signals providing comprehensive scores that reflect economic sentiment, trends, and dynamics. Unlike surveys, this index utilizes over 20 proprietary inputs that recalibrate each month based on actual behavior, enhancing the understanding of a key driver of economic growth – consumer activity.

New ZEI Features: Key Economic Indicators and Industry-Specific Consumer Insights

This month, the ZEI is introducing several new scores to offer a deeper understanding of how consumer behavior affects various aspects of the US economy and specific industry sectors. The new additions include gauges for Retail Sales Activity, Automotive Purchase Intent, and Retail Visitation Index.

Furthermore, the analysis of U.S. Consumer Interest and Intent across key industries-Automotive, Dining, Entertainment, Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail, Technology, and Travel-present a month-over-month comparison of interest levels. This detailed analysis helps identify areas of strength and opportunity within the economy.

The Zeta Economic Index is publicly available here and is provided as a complimentary service. It should not be considered investment advice or be relied upon to make investment decisions.
