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.

Businesses Rush to Harness AI Agents, Fueling 18,347% Surge in Freelancer Searches

NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The scramble to deploy AI agents has businesses turning to freelancers in record numbers, with searches for this specialized expertise surging 18,347% over the last six months, according to new data released today by Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the global freelance services platform.

The spring 2025 edition of Fiverr's Business Trends Index — drawn from tens of millions of searches since September 2024 — reveals that businesses are outsourcing to specialists who can effectively implement these emerging AI systems.

This rapid growth in AI agent adoption is fueled by advances in technology that enable these "digital colleagues" to perform tasks independently — reading emails, scheduling meetings, or handling customer questions without constant oversight. While experts predict this could become a $1 trillion market, many businesses are struggling with implementation challenges, driving them to hire freelancers with these unique skills.

"Nearly 30% of my Fiverr orders are for AI agent development, with demand shifting dramatically from simple chatbots to multi-agent systems working across web, WhatsApp, and voice channels,” said Mark Kashef, an AI consultant on Fiverr and the founder and CEO of Prompt Advisors. “Businesses have pivoted from asking 'What can AI do?' to 'How quickly can we integrate AI into our workflows?' – with automation, voice, and integration requests now comprising 49% of my project pipeline."

This surge reflects a broader disconnect between business ambitions and in-house technical realities, according to Yoav Hornung, Head of Verticals at Fiverr.

"Despite the buzz around AI agents, most businesses don't fully understand what they are or how to use them, and that knowledge gap is driving a surge in freelance demand," said Hornung. "With generative AI now widely accessible, many businesses are turning to freelancers to help their content stand out, bringing fresh perspectives, creativity, and expertise that elevate their work beyond what automation alone can achieve."

This paradox is reflected in the 641% increase in searches for freelancers who can "humanize AI content" — rewriting chatbot scripts, marketing emails, and website content to feel more natural.

“I thought my copywriting services wouldn’t be as needed following the roll-out of ChatGPT," said Gabrielle Gerbus, a freelance brand creator and strategist on Fiverr. "However, I get almost daily requests when it comes to editing AI-written copy so it still sounds human.”

Beyond AI itself, businesses are investing in freelance-led automation and digital marketing initiatives. Fiverr search data shows surging demand for specialists in workflow tools like Go High Level (+1,489%) and Make.com (+1,083%), alongside those who can establish presence on trending platforms like Substack (2,028%) and Beehiiv (1,211%) newsletters — all specialized expertise many companies lack internally but need to stay competitive.

The complete Business Trends Index includes additional fast-growing trends across the U.S., Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Israel and the U.K.
