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.

Elasticsearch Open Inference API Extends Support for Hugging Face Models with Semantic Text

Applications using Hugging Face embeddings on Elasticsearch now benefit from native chunking

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the Search AI Company, today announced the Elasticsearch Open Inference API now supports Hugging Face models with native chunking through the integration of the semantic_text field. Developers can now quickly ship generative AI (GenAI) applications without the burden of writing custom chunking logic, leveraging the Elasticsearch Open Inference API integration with Hugging Face Inference Endpoints.

“Combining Hugging Face’s embeddings with Elastic’s retrieval relevance tools helps users gain better insights and improve search functionality,” said Jeff Boudier, head of product at Hugging Face. “Hugging Face makes it easy for developers to build their own AI. With this integration, developers get a complete solution to leverage the best open models for semantic search, hosted on Hugging Face multi-cloud GPU infrastructure, to build semantic search experiences in Elasticsearch without worrying about storing or chunking embeddings.”

“Developers are at the heart of our business, and extending more of our GenAI and search primitives to Hugging Face developers deepens our collaboration,” said Matt Riley, global vice president & general manager of search at Elastic. “The integration of our new semantic_text field, simplifies the process of chunking and storing embeddings, so developers can focus on what matters most, building great applications.”

The integration of semantic_text support follows the addition of Hugging Face embeddings models to Elastic’s Open Inference API.
