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.

GitLab Announces GitLab 18 with AI-Native Capabilities to Increase Developer Productivity

By: via Business Wire
  • Increasing developer efficiency with GitLab Duo Code Suggestions and Chat available to all Premium and Ultimate customers
  • Accelerating core DevSecOps workflows for faster and more secure software delivery pipelines
  • Expanding security and compliance capabilities with features to help organizations mitigate risks and meet regulatory requirements

All Remote - GitLab Inc., the most comprehensive, intelligent DevSecOps platform, today announced the launch of GitLab 18, including AI capabilities natively integrated into the platform and major new innovations across core DevOps, and security and compliance workflows that are available now, with further enhancements planned throughout the year. Additionally, GitLab Premium customers can now purchase Duo Enterprise without requiring an upgrade to GitLab Ultimate.

Accelerating the AI-Native Developer Experience with GitLab Duo

GitLab 18 transforms developer workflows by further integrating AI throughout the platform. GitLab Premium and Ultimate customers can leverage AI-powered Code Suggestions for real-time code completion and code generation as well as Chat for instant access to code explanations, code refactoring, test generation, and code fixes, directly within their preferred source code editor or integrated development environment (IDE), now at no additional cost.

These AI-native capabilities enhance GitLab Premium’s powerful foundation to help scaling organizations deliver secure source code management, advanced CI/CD, and an improved developer experience without requiring separate tooling, licensing, or governance.

Additionally, in response to customer demand, GitLab Premium customers can now purchase Duo Enterprise, GitLab’s comprehensive suite of AI offerings, without requiring an upgrade to GitLab Ultimate. This includes advanced team collaboration and context-aware AI capabilities across the full development lifecycle.

Enhancing Core Platform Capabilities in GitLab 18

GitLab is also introducing significant enhancements to its platform capabilities, extending core DevSecOps workflows by centralizing artifact management, optimizing CI/CD pipelines for speed and security, and empowering cross-functional teams with a unified platform.

  • Built-in artifact management provides a native GitLab solution for maintaining artifacts, packages, containers, and more, including a new virtual registry for Maven and immutable tag management for greater tool consolidation on a single platform.
  • Enhanced CI/CD offers structured inputs and enhanced, modular pipeline management with streamlined artifact handling and change detection, delivering a more secure way to configure parent/child pipelines and optimize pipeline execution.
  • GitLab Query Language enables users to find, filter, and embed content from anywhere in the GitLab platform, enhancing collaboration, reporting, and project management across teams.

Further enhancements to GitLab 18 include strengthening its built-in security and compliance capabilities to help customers achieve comprehensive visibility and control over security risk.

  • Custom compliance frameworks offer out-of-the-box controls for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and CIS benchmarks, along with the ability to define, implement, and enforce custom compliance controls.
  • Reachability analysis for dependencies to help further improve detection accuracy, reduce false positive noise, and focus on code that threat actors can exploit.
  • Custom logic for advanced Static Application Security Testing (SAST) adjusts SAST detection logic to an organization’s libraries, tech stack, or security requirements by providing additional context to help address false positives and negatives.
  • Vulnerability dashboards provide insights into an organization’s security posture and track trends with organization-level and application-specific views, robust filtering, and reporting features to pinpoint critical findings.
  • FIDO passkey support offers a more secure and user-friendly login experience with support for biometric authentication, device PINs, and YubiKeys.
  • Security policy impact assessment provides context for informed decision-making about security policy changes, including a “warn mode” to help developers understand requirements without blocking merge requests.

To learn more about the AI-native capabilities now available in GitLab Premium and Ultimate as part of GitLab 18, read the GitLab blog.
