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.

Benchmark Gensuite Named Industry Pacesetter for AI Integration in EHS Software by Verdantix

Benchmark Gensuite®, a leading provider of cloud-based Environmental, Health, Safety (EHS), Sustainability, Quality, and Operational Risk management solution software, has been recognized by independent research firm Verdantix as the pacesetter for AI integration in the EHS software market.

In its Product Benchmark: Benchmark Gensuite Sets the Pace for AI Integration Into EHS Software, Verdantix spotlighted Benchmark Gensuite for its patented, natively embedded, and market-first innovations. It also cited Benchmark Gensuite’s top score relative to other market platforms for AI development and resources, from its 2025 EHS Software Green Quadrant report.

The AI Innovation Gap

In an industry where many vendors still offer none to limited, fragmented or static AI capabilities, Benchmark Gensuite stands apart. Its unified, versionless Genny AI software integrates proven AI tools directly into subscriber workflows—meaning no expensive add-ons, no lengthy implementation schedules, and no waiting for innovation. This positions customers to leap ahead on the AI adoption curve while avoiding the inefficiencies and high costs associated with legacy or siloed systems.

“With Genny AI, our customers aren’t waiting for the promise of AI; they’re realizing its value right now—thousands of times a day,” said R. Mukund, CEO of Benchmark Gensuite. “This recognition by Verdantix validates the vision we set five years ago—AI should be everywhere, every day, driving real outcomes for EHS and Sustainability practitioners.”

The ROI of Genny AI

Benchmark Gensuite subscribers are already realizing measurable efficiency gains. Genny AI averages time savings of five minutes per task (with some tasks saving significantly more time) — across the thousands of Genny AI interactions just a few months after launch in 2025 to all subscribers, the cumulative savings add up to an incredible 3,637 hours back to our subscriber organizations. That's returned value of over $300,000 in enterprise resource costs, with impact now scaling up from deployment across the global community of more than four million users.

These outcomes underscore the platform’s ability to translate AI from a conceptual promise into a daily productivity driver—from the frontline to the C-Suite.

Community-Driven Innovation

Benchmark Gensuite’s AI program is built around transparency, governance, and trust. Subscribers are engaged through its Idea Exchange Forum, annual regional user conferences, and subscriber innovation groups—directly countering the opaque marketing and vague ROI claims often seen in the market. Controlled rollouts, feature toggles, and clear explanations for AI-generated output ensure transparency and foster user trust.

Proven & Deployed Framework for Scalable AI

In its assessment using a proprietary AI maturity framework, Verdantix identified several key contributing factors behind Benchmark Gensuite’s early mover advantage…

  • Structured Build-Buy-Partner Approach: Carefully weighing whether to develop AI capabilities internally, partner with best-in-class providers, or acquire—while maintaining a cohesive user experience.
  • Unified Technical Architecture: An organically built single-version platform avoiding the fragmentation common in acquisition-driven portfolios, enabling rapid and consistent AI deployment.
  • Model-Agnostic AI Layer: A proprietary AI proxy layer enabling orchestration of multiple large language models (LLMs) such as Claude and Cohere, ensuring flexibility for use cases and regulatory requirements.
  • Systematic Ideation & Prioritization: Collaborative engagement with subscriber working groups to identify high-value AI use cases—categorized as Helpers, Assistants, and Agents—and rapidly bring them to market.
  • Operational AI for Internal Workflows: AI tools not only serve customers but are actively embedded in Benchmark Gensuite’s internal operations, increasing productivity across functions. The report cites Benchmark Gensuite’s “AI Everywhere, AI Every Day” strategy—driven by CEO R. Mukund—as a model for scaling enterprise-ready AI across the EHS function.
