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.

Avetta Expands AI Capabilities to Accelerate the Future of Global Supply Chains

AI-powered innovations enhance supplier workflows, client decision-making and customer support

Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, today announced a significant expansion to the AI-powered capabilities within its innovative Avetta One platform and beyond. These enhancements streamline supplier workflows; improve hiring client decision-making; and deliver smarter, faster customer support experiences.

Today’s announcement builds on a growing portfolio of AI-driven innovations at Avetta. This includes tools like AskAva, the industry’s first generative AI risk assistant that provides instant, context-aware answers to compliance and safety questions; guides users through complex procedures; and provides actionable insights. Avetta is also harnessing AI to dramatically accelerate and improve organizational governance processes, including customer safety audits—helping to reduce the time to complete audits by 28% while increasing accuracy and consistency.

“We continue to embed AI throughout our solution,” said Arshad Matin, CEO at Avetta. “AI is shifting readiness from reactive defense to proactive growth. By equipping both clients as well as suppliers on our platform with predictive insights, automation and enhanced collaboration, we’re positioning suppliers as true drivers of resilience and competitiveness across industries. This is how AI delivers greater value for our customers—empowering them to go beyond compliance and together create safer, more sustainable and more secure supply chains.”

The new product features revealed today carry that momentum forward with a focus on efficiency at scale—helping customers move beyond repetitive tasks to higher-value oversight that drives quality, accelerates operations and ensures consistent, scalable performance.

“These enhancements reflect Avetta’s strategy to apply AI in ways that positively impact real-world operations and outcomes,” said Dawn Andre, Chief Product Officer at Avetta. “They enable customers to save time, make smarter decisions and get the support they need quicker and more intuitively than ever before.”

AI-Powered Answer Prompts for Suppliers

Avetta One now deploys AI to detect when suppliers are answering questions similar to inquiries they’ve previously completed and suggests relevant past responses, which reduces duplicate effort, shortens form completion time and improves consistency. This feature helps suppliers move through onboarding and compliance tasks more efficiently, freeing up time to focus on core business operations and client relationships.

AI-Powered Analytics Search

Clients can now use natural language search prompts to surface the exact data they need within Avetta One. This reduces the time and effort required to locate relevant data so clients can more efficiently monitor supplier performance; assess risk exposure; and make fast, informed decisions.

AI-Powered Chat Support

A new conversational AI agent now enables customers to ask nuanced, natural language questions and receive fast, accurate and human-like responses without needing to search help articles or wait for live support. For suppliers, this means quicker resolution of common issues and smoother navigation through documentation, requirements and onboarding tasks. Clients benefit from faster access to platform guidance and support, helping them manage supplier relationships and workflows with greater ease and efficiency.

“Avetta’s AI-powered tools don’t just speed up processes, they help organizations anticipate challenges, act with confidence and strengthen resilience with less effort,” said Paul Leonard, enterprise safety expert and Principal at SinoCelt. “By reducing repetitive work, improving accuracy and making support more intuitive, I believe these new innovations will free Avetta customers to focus more on what really matters—protecting people, strengthening relationships and building sustainable supply chains.”
