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.

Salsify AI Transforms PXM Ops for Digital Shelf & Agentic Commerce

BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salsify, the Product Experience Management (PXM) platform empowering brand manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to win both across the digital shelf and in agentic commerce, today announced the launch of new capabilities designed to deliver AI-powered automation at a massive scale inside their customers’ day-to-day operational workflows. This approach to integrating AI in existing workflows instead of as isolated experiments directly addresses results from new MIT research, which claims that only 5% of enterprise generative AI pilots achieve measurable ROI. The report reveals the path to value lies not in any particular AI model, but in adopting systems that learn, adapt, and integrate deeply into existing workflows.

Salsify’s workflow-centric approach will help customers accelerate their return on AI investment by enabling them to seamlessly integrate AI, automated, and human-powered actions into unified business processes. This is the only approach that can meet the need to scale optimized best-in-class product experiences across every channel, audience, product, and agentic commerce chat.

“Hey, Angie…”: The AI-Powered PXM Assistant
A core component of this launch is Angie, a conversational AI assistant embedded directly within the Salsify platform. Angie helps users tackle complex tasks through a simple, conversational interface, allowing customers to scale Salsify usage to more users, channels, and use cases. Angie’s business value is immediate: it helps users work faster within Salsify, reducing time spent on configuration and troubleshooting so they can focus on higher-value strategic work. Initial capabilities include writing, summarizing, and optimizing formulas, enabling customers to scale their content distribution to meet any buyer on any channel.

"Angie is a game-changer because it makes formulas, one of Salsify's most powerful features, so much more accessible through natural language”, said Max Wisnefski, Business Systems Integration Analyst at Westinghouse. “It empowers my team to build and troubleshoot logic independently, which in turn dramatically accelerates our ability to meet new channel requirements."

Salsify Intelligence Suite: PXM Ops at the Speed of AI

Intelligence Suite provides a powerful new set of intelligent, AI-powered task types integrated directly into the Salsify Workflow Engine. The suite is built to deliver automation at a massive scale within the flow of how teams already work today. Even before this launch, Salsify’s automation engine completed 510 million tasks autonomously last year.

Intelligence Suite helps teams scale their capacity without increasing headcount by using AI workflows to accomplish key tasks while keeping humans in the loop. Intelligence Suite offers pre-packaged AI Accelerators currently arrayed across three major use case categories: Scale Content Creation and Optimization, Extract Data from Assets, and Drive Data Governance.

This approach directly delivers on what the MIT research found is essential for successful AI adoption. The report highlights that 74% of executives demand a deep understanding of their workflow, and 69% demand minimal disruption to current tools from any new AI solution. Intelligence Suite is designed to meet these exact needs by embedding powerful AI automation directly into a brand, distributor, or retailer’s existing system of work for product data.

Intelligence Suite is powerful enough to support the most complex use cases, but is built for business teams with no-code configuration, allowing them to scale AI usage for the long tail of the digital shelf and agentic commerce while maintaining human oversight and governance. Customers may use their own AI providers, such as OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Azure AI Foundry, or SalsifyIQ, the company's proprietary, commerce-tuned AI service.

“Intelligence Suite feels like a partner. It’s a time-saver and complete differentiator in the market,” said Liam Bucher, Director of Performance Marketing at Kerry. “Our team was spending 20-30 minutes validating information for just one product; now we can do that in 5 minutes. We set up a complete product from scratch in one day; without Intelligence Suite that would have taken several days. This solution encapsulates Salsify’s willingness to listen to customers and make our lives easier.”

The New OpenAI Channel: Fueling Agentic Commerce

To bridge the gap between internal transformation and external consumer experience, Salsify is also releasing a new OpenAI channel. This new capability helps customers publish their product data directly to OpenAI, providing an authoritative source of brand-approved content to power agentic shopping experiences within ChatGPT. The channel leverages OpenAI’s new Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), allowing customers to map and validate their content against OpenAI’s Product Feed specification using a Salsify Readiness Report. This enables customers to provide the foundational product data that will fuel the next era of agentic shopping.

A Unified Platform Engineered for AI ROI
Salsify’s core differentiation is its unified platform and workflow engine. Salsify is the only PXM vendor built from the start as a single system of record, workflow, and syndication, enabling Salsify to embed AI throughout the entirety of PXM operations seamlessly.

"There are two transformations our customers must navigate right now," said Julie Marobella, Chief Product Officer at Salsify. "The first is wringing every last drop of ROI from the current e-commerce era through hyper-optimization and ensuring their products win on every digital shelf. The second is preparing for the massive shift to agentic commerce, where the winners will be those who successfully train AI agents to be expert marketers and sellers of their products. With Angie and Intelligence Suite, we're giving our customers the power to maximize their returns today, while building the foundation to win the next era of commerce."
