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.

Adobe Previews Its Upcoming Firefly Video Model

  • The all-new Adobe Firefly Video Model will extend Adobe’s family of foundational generative AI models for imaging, design and vector creation
  • Designed to be commercially safe, the Firefly Video Model will be integrated across Creative Cloud, Experience Cloud and Adobe Express workflows, enriching the ability to tell beautiful and compelling stories
  • New Text to Video and Image to Video capabilities, along with Generative Extend in Premiere Pro, will be available later this year to enhance the workflows video editors know and love

Today, Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) previewed advancements to its generative AI video capabilities, powered by the Adobe Firefly Video Model. First previewed earlier this year, Adobe’s upcoming video capabilities are designed to empower film editors and video professionals with tools to help inspire their creative vision, fill gaps in their timeline and add new elements to existing footage. The Firefly Video Model will extend Adobe’s family of generative AI models, which already includes an Image Model, Vector Model and Design Model, making Firefly the most comprehensive model offering for creative teams. To date, Adobe Firefly has been used to generate over 12 billion images globally.

Available later this year, new Firefly-powered Text to Video and Image to Video capabilities will be available on Firefly.Adobe.com, and Generative Extend will be embedded directly into Premiere Pro, an industry-leading video editor. Text to Video capabilities include generating video from text prompts, accessing a wide variety of camera controls such as angle, motion and zoom to finetune videos and referencing images to generate B-Roll that seamlessly fills gaps in your timeline. Image to Video capabilities include bringing still shots or illustrations to life by transforming them into stunning live action clips.

“Building upon our foundational Firefly models for imaging, design and vector creation, our Firefly foundation video model is designed to help the professional video community unlock new possibilities, streamline workflows and support their creative ideation,” said Ashley Still, senior vice president, Creative Product Group at Adobe. “We are excited to bring new levels of creative control and efficiency to video editing with Firefly-powered Generative Extend in Premiere Pro.”

The Firefly Video Model will support a broad variety of use cases, designed to help video professionals get the perfect clip. For instance, potential uses could include leveraging fine-grained controls like camera angle and camera motion to produce compelling animations, effects and more; generating an insert into a key video shot with camera motion; pairing video with professionally captured footage to tell stories faster.

As with all Adobe Firefly generative AI models – from Adobe Firefly Image 3 Model to Adobe Firefly Vector Model and Adobe Firefly Design Model – editors can create with confidence knowing the Firefly Video Model is designed to be commercially safe and is only trained on content we have permission to use – never on Adobe customer content.
