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.

VoteMate Launches to Help Every American Vote with Confidence

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Voting should be simple. Yet for millions of Americans, understanding a long, complex ballot can feel overwhelming. Today, VoteMate launched to change that: a free, AI-powered, nonprofit, and nonpartisan web app that helps every voter fill out their ballot faster, easier, and with confidence.

“When it took me over three hours to research my seven-page ballot, I realized how hard it is for even informed voters to make confident choices,” said Alex Iovine, CEO and Founder of VoteMate. “Most Americans don’t have that kind of time. We built VoteMate to change that, giving every voter a simple, trusted, free way to prepare and feel good about their choices.”

By entering your voting address, VoteMate automatically pulls up your local ballot and provides a clear, conversational, multilingual chat that helps you explore what’s on it — from national races to local measures — without bias or jargon. The app delivers instant access to verified, sourced information, allowing voters to make confident choices in minutes, not hours.

Major AI platforms like ChatGPT and Copilot began restricting election-related conversations “for safety,” leaving millions of voters to spend hours searching for reliable, neutral information. Even before that, the challenge was clear: fragmented data, political bias, and inaccessible ballot explanations left voters confused, frustrated, or skipping questions altogether.

A June 2025 survey conducted by VoteMate found that 78% of registered voters made at least one ballot decision without feeling fully confident, while 57% admitted to skipping questions because they didn’t recognize the names or understand the measures.

VoteMate was built to fix that, not by telling voters how to vote, but by giving them the confidence to vote for what they believe in and the knowledge for how it will affect them and their communities.

Unlike commercial AI tools driven by ads or subscriptions, VoteMate is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that prioritizes privacy and trust: there are no ads, no data sales, and no political affiliations. Every feature is designed to foster transparency, not engagement metrics.

Built by over 40 volunteers from across the political spectrum, VoteMate represents a rare kind of collaboration — uniting technologists, civic leaders, and everyday citizens around one mission: to ensure every voter is informed, supported, and confident in shaping their future.

“We’re excited to bring AI to voting in a fundamentally helpful way,” said Alex Saxerud, Chief Responsible AI Officer and Co-Founder. “By centering individuals and empowering informed choice, VoteMate helps safeguard against AI-supercharged misinformation and bad actors.”

The experience is simple:

  • View your ballot: See everything that will appear on your local, state, or national ballot.
  • Ask anything: Chat naturally about candidates, measures, or ballot questions.
  • Explore what matters to you: Reflect on your values and priorities.
  • Vote with confidence: Get clear, verified, unbiased information — all in one place.

Since its soft launch, VoteMate has reached thousands of voters across 30 states, signaling strong demand for tools that make democracy more human, inclusive, and trustworthy.

By combining responsible AI with civic purpose, VoteMate offers something the voting process has long been missing, a human-centered assistant that makes voting feel clear, personal, and possible.

VoteMate is available now nationwide. Try VoteMate free today at votemate.io.
