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.

66% of Consumers Don’t Realize AI Could Help Their Finances, New Kikoff Survey Finds

By: via Business Wire

Survey of people working to build credit shows untapped potential for AI to make financial progress easier.

Kikoff, the credit-building platform used by over a million Americans, today released new survey findings from 1,500 U.S. consumers actively working to build credit. The results reveal a significant awareness gap: while AI already powers much of everyday life, most Americans haven’t yet connected it to their finances. In fact, two-thirds of respondents (66%) were unaware that AI tools exist to help manage money and build credit, despite being the very group that could benefit most.

Awareness of AI in Finance and Credit Building is Still Low

According to an Associated Press-NORC survey, AI adoption is accelerating: 60% of adults already use it to search for information and 40% use it for work. Yet Kikoff’s recent survey reveals most have not connected AI to their finances. Among the findings:

  • 66% are not aware of AI-powered financial tools that can manage your finances or build your credit.
  • 86% have never used AI-powered financial tools to manage finances or credit.

Still, there’s openness to the idea. When asked what financial tasks AI could help with today, some consumers responded:

  • 31% believe AI could help build credit.
  • 25% say it could help save money.
  • 22% see value in AI giving financial advice.
  • 21% think it could negotiate debt.
  • Only 12% don’t believe AI can support finances.

Where Consumers Struggle and How AI Can Help

For consumers with subprime credit, education and cost remain the biggest hurdles. 23% said they don’t know where to start and 19% say it’s too expensive to build credit. These are exactly the kinds of challenges AI can help solve. With personalized, step-by-step guidance, AI can make the credit-building process less confusing. It can also bring down the cost of financial services, making them more affordable and accessible.

“It’s exciting to see AI being used to improve people’s lives,” said Cynthia Chen, CEO of Kikoff. “Now we have the chance to bring that same power to consumers’ financial health, especially for those who have always faced barriers to entry. That’s where AI can be truly transformative.”

This survey was conducted in August, 2025 via an online survey of 1,500 Kikoff users.
