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.

Revelen Deploys AI-Powered Ballistics Technology with Laurel Police Department in Delaware

Revelen.ai, a public safety technology company specializing in AI-powered violent crime intelligence solutions, today announced a deployment partnership with the Laurel Police Department in Sussex County, Delaware. Laurel PD becomes the first law enforcement agency in Delaware to deploy ShotOptix™, Revelen's handheld device that provides real-time ballistics analysis at crime scenes, delivering investigative leads within minutes.

ShotOptix was deployed at Laurel PD on September 30, 2025.

Revelen's ShotOptix platform transforms the timeline of gun crime investigations by enabling patrol officers to scan shell casings directly at crime scenes. AI-driven analysis delivers results in minutes, providing investigators with actionable intelligence, including connections to prior shootings, potential suspects, vehicle information, and related crimes—all while officers are still on scene and before suspects have time to leave the area.

"Solving gun crimes shouldn't depend on whether you're in a major city or a small town," said Bradford Davis, CEO of Revelen. “When Chief Robert Kracyla and Laurel PD decided to deploy ShotOptix, they became part of a national movement toward real-time intelligence that gives investigators time back, brings families answers faster, and helps restore community trust in places where it's been eroded."

Laurel, located in Sussex County, Delaware, faces challenges common to small agencies nationwide: limited resources, cross-jurisdictional criminal activity, and gang-related violence. The department's decision to adopt real-time ballistics technology positions Laurel as an innovative leader despite its size.

"For too long, small police departments have had to wait days or weeks for ballistics intelligence that should be available immediately," said Chief Robert Kracyla of the Laurel Police Department. "With Revelen's technology, we are embracing advanced technology with the goal of further reducing violent crime. When a shell casing is found at a shooting, we'll know within minutes if it connects to other crimes—before suspects have time to leave the area. This is about giving our community the protection they deserve and showing that Laurel is a leader in innovative policing."

The partnership comes as law enforcement agencies nationwide grapple with mounting backlogs in ballistics testing. Real-time field analysis represents a paradigm shift comparable to when fingerprint technology moved from centralized, manual fingerprint workflows to widely available digital databases across law enforcement in the late 20th century—broadening access to critical investigative tools regardless of agency size.

About Revelen

Revelen is a public safety technology company providing AI-powered intelligence solutions to law enforcement agencies nationwide. Founded on the principle that critical evidence should deliver answers in minutes rather than months, Revelen's ShotOptix platform enables patrol officers to analyze shell casings directly at crime scenes, generating real-time intelligence that connects shootings, identifies suspects, and accelerates investigations. By closing the "first-hour gap" when evidence is freshest and investigative momentum is highest, Revelen helps agencies solve more gun crimes, bring closure to families, and restore community trust. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. For more information, visit revelen.ai.
