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.

AI-Powered Compliance, Intelligence and Orchestration Elevate Secure, Scalable CX on the 8x8 Platform

New capabilities across the 8x8 Platform for CX strengthen compliance, speed agent performance, and deliver full customer journey visibility.

Meeting customer expectations is no longer enough – businesses today must match rising standards for compliance, security and operational agility. 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), the industry’s most integrated customer experience (CX) platform provider, is helping organizations raise the bar with new innovations across the 8x8 Platform for CX. The latest enhancements strengthen regulatory compliance, simplify complex operations and deliver deeper performance insights – without increasing overhead.

Spanning 8x8 Contact Center, 8x8 Engage, 8x8 Work, and communication APIs, these updates help enterprises work smarter, respond faster, and deliver secure, personalized experiences that drive loyalty and long-term business growth.

Boost Security and Compliance

8x8 Contact Center integration with MNET CoreAccess+ for Financial Services

  • The integration with MNET CoreAccess+ connects 8x8 Contact Center directly to systems such as Jack Henry and Fiserv. Bots, IVRs, and agents can access real-time data, authenticate users securely, and deliver contextual service – all purpose-built to meet the high standards of banks and credit unions.

Keyword Filtering to Safeguard SMS Compliance

  • To help avoid 10DLC violations, outbound SMS from the 8x8 Work App is now screened for restricted terms. Messages are blocked before carrier submission, with user prompts to edit and resend – minimizing compliance risks and protecting deliverability.

Improve Agent Productivity

8x8 Smart Assist + Conversation Intelligence

  • 8x8 Smart Assist, combined with conversation intelligence, analyzes 100% of customer interactions in the contact center – past and present – to deliver real-time AI coaching that helps agents reduce churn, increase conversions, and stay compliant. Built-in sentiment and intent analysis empower leaders to scale coaching and quality assurance without adding headcount.

Smarter Summaries, Now in the Right Language

  • AI-powered chat summarization now automatically detects the conversation’s language and applies the appropriate linguistic model, delivering clearer, more accurate summaries for multilingual teams.

CRM Integration Profiles

  • With CRM Integration Profiles, admins can customize workflows across Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Zendesk, NetSuite, and Zoho by team, department, or region – no code, no pro services required. The results are streamlined operations, faster onboarding, and experiences that flex to fit every customer.

Deliver End-to-End Journey Orchestration

JourneyAPI

  • JourneyAPI lets organizations track every leg of a customer interaction – across transfers, queues, and teams – by pulling related calls into a single API view. It allows business and CX leaders to easily trace the full customer journey, assess service quality, and access unified performance metrics programmatically.

“CX leaders are being asked to do more with less – move faster, stay compliant, and deliver seamless experiences at every touchpoint,” said Hunter Middleton, Chief Product Officer at 8x8, Inc. “These new capabilities are built for that reality. From smarter automation to tighter compliance and deeper visibility, we’re helping customers bridge the gap between rising expectations and what teams can deliver – without adding complexity.”

The 8x8 Platform for CX seamlessly unites contact center, unified communications, and communication APIs to help organizations connect customers and teams globally. The platform empowers CX and IT leaders with AI-powered performance and insights to make smarter decisions, delight customers, and drive lasting business impact.
