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.

Catchpoint Launches Breakthrough AI Monitoring to Safeguard Next-Gen Digital Workflows

By: via Business Wire

Industry-first monitoring capabilities empower IT teams to proactively detect and prevent AI performance issues, safeguarding critical business operations and customer experiences.

Catchpoint, the global leader in Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM), today announced powerful new capabilities—Performance and Resilience Monitoring for AI Assistants and Agentic AI systems—to proactively ensure uptime, speed, and reliability for mission-critical AI-driven workflows.

Leveraging a track record of monitoring AI infrastructures in collaboration with top-tier technology innovators, Catchpoint offers a unique, industry-leading capability to monitor the full internet stack—going beyond surface metrics to diagnose issues deep within APIs, protocols and technologies. These new features empower organizations to proactively monitor both Agentic AI systems and AI-powered assistants with confidence.

As organizations rapidly adopt generative and agentic AI technologies, such as Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google Gemini, and IBM watsonx, business-critical workflows become increasingly dependent on the uninterrupted performance of AI systems. Any latency, outage, or disruption can severely impact customer experiences and business outcomes —as seen during a recent OpenAI outage which resulted in many systems becoming unresponsive or slow. In the case of this incident, Catchpoint helped a major tech brand detect it and take corrective measures before it escalated, avoiding business impact.

Moreover, according to the Internet Resilience Report 2025, 57% of organizations recognize immediately when AI supporting their critical Tier 1 applications becomes unavailable or slower. However, 27% of companies only become aware of such issues when users complain. "AI can't fail quietly—and yet, in many organizations, it still does," the report emphasizes.

Catchpoint’s new capabilities ensure immediate visibility into AI performance, enabling proactive management of disruptions to protect business continuity and customer experience.

AI Assistant Reliability Monitoring

This solution enables organizations to proactively detect and resolve issues affecting AI APIs, LLMs, and chatbots. Key capabilities include:

  • Global API reachability: Test AI endpoints from key global regions to rapidly detect DNS, routing, or regional outages from thousands of intelligent agents in over 100 countries.
  • Latency baselines: Continuously track response times to catch slowdowns before user experiences degrade.
  • Synthetic prompt monitoring: Simulate real-world interactions to validate response accuracy and consistency.
  • Uptime and error detection: Instantly alert on API downtime, errors, overload conditions, or malformed responses.
  • Visual dependency mapping: Get the full context of the entire system or application to understand any component that may be impacting user experience, not only AI.

Agentic AI Resilience Monitoring

Designed specifically for complex, autonomous AI workflows that rely on multiple external dependencies, the new capability delivers full-stack visibility and observability across APIs, networks, cloud services, and third-party tools. Features include:

  • Third-party API Monitoring: Track stability and latency of critical cloud services, SaaS APIs, and databases.
  • Multi-hop Dependency Visibility: Trace the root cause of cascading failures across complex AI workflows.
  • CI/CD Monitoring Automation: Automatically integrate monitoring into CI/CD pipelines to test changes in AI infrastructure.
  • Cloud Region Resilience: Identify and mitigate risks associated with specific cloud region disruptions and performance issues.
  • Global performance testing: from anywhere in the global observability network or private intelligent agents deployed in key locations, data centers, or offices.

“AI assistants and agentic agents are only as reliable as the networks and APIs they depend on,” said Mehdi Daoudi, CEO of Catchpoint. “Our new capabilities give organizations the visibility they need to ensure AI resilience, reduce downtime, and deliver exceptional digital experiences, enabling IT organizations to innovate as they build the future.”
