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.

VergeSense Launches Breakpoint Analyzer to Transform Space Planning with AI-Powered Precision

New AI-powered predictive tool gives real estate and workplace teams clarity on opportunities to optimize existing spaces, based on 200M+ square feet of occupancy data

VergeSense, the leader in occupancy intelligence, today announced the beta release of Breakpoint Analyzer, a powerful new AI-powered tool that enables real estate and workplace teams to identify hidden inefficiencies in their floor plans, reclaim wasted space, and optimize their existing footprints. Breakpoint Analyzer is the first release in a new suite of predictive space planning tools from VergeSense designed to bring speed, clarity, and data-driven insights to portfolio planning.

Breakpoint Analyzer leverages a proprietary AI model from VergeSense trained on over 200 million square feet of occupancy data to predict which spaces on a floor plan will fill up first, identify where you have too much of a space type, and where you can rebalance spaces to reduce space waste and improve efficiency. In a time when workplace teams are under pressure to optimize space while protecting employee experience, traditional planning methods—like expensive consulting engagements that yield static ratios or rely on outdated benchmarks—no longer meet the moment. Breakpoint Analyzer changes that.

“Space planning has historically been slow, siloed, and assumption-driven,” said Dan Ryan, CEO at VergeSense. “Breakpoint Analyzer gives teams a faster, smarter way forward—grounded in how their spaces actually perform, not how they were designed on paper.”

A New Standard for Measuring Capacity and Performance

Powered by over 200 million square feet of real-world occupancy data, Breakpoint Analyzer leverages a customer’s floor plans and occupancy data—like WiFi or sensor data—to evaluate:

  • True usable capacity based on actual employee behavior
  • Which space types will run out first, triggering productivity or experience issues
  • How much capacity is lost due to inefficient room sizes or poor space mix
  • Where layout changes could unlock hidden capacity

Even in areas without full sensor coverage, Breakpoint Analyzer leverages VergeSense’s proprietary benchmark dataset to simulate usage with high confidence—eliminating blind spots and guesswork.

What It Means for Workplace and Real Estate Teams

Breakpoint Analyzer helps teams:

  • Replace static planning with dynamic, real-world analysis
  • Act confidently even when occupancy data is incomplete
  • Avoid costly overbuilds or under-provisioning
  • Accelerate decisions that previously took weeks or months

This release marks the first step in VergeSense’s broader vision for predictive workplace planning. In the near future, customers will be able to take advantage of a new scenario planning tool to simulate the impact of policy changes, headcount growth, or layout adjustments—before making costly decisions.

Beta Now Available Through August 31, 2025

Breakpoint Analyzer is now available in beta through August 31, 2025. To learn more, sign up for the Occupancy Intelligence Summit happening today, June 11, 2025 at 12PM ET.

Breakpoint Analyzer is the first release in a new suite of predictive space planning tools from VergeSense designed to bring speed, clarity, and data-driven insights to portfolio planning.
