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.

CTERA Becomes First in Hybrid Cloud Storage to Support the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

New York, NY, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTERA, the leader in Enterprise Data Services, today announced native support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), becoming the first hybrid cloud platform to embed an MCP Server for secure AI integration. This breakthrough allows enterprises to connect large language models (LLMs), including assistants like Claude, AI IDEs (e.g. Cursor), and internally developed agents, directly to private data, without compromising security or compliance.

MCP - a new open standard developed by Anthropic - enables AI models to securely access enterprise data and applications. Until now, connecting LLMs to private files meant sacrificing control or building custom integrations. MCP solves this by providing a structured, permission-aware interface.

CTERA has embedded this new capability into the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, enabling users to look up, summarize, retrieve, manage, and create files using natural language, all while enabling IT and security teams the ability to maintain full control over access, auditing, and encryption. 

“This launch is a major step toward an agentic enterprise where LLM-based assistants work seamlessly with an organization’s internal data,” said Aron Brand, CTO of CTERA. “We’re giving their teams a secure and intelligent way to enable real-time decisions, faster workflows, and new kinds of automation without introducing security and compliance challenges to the business.”

With the integration of MCP into the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform, users can automate routine file management tasks and eliminate the need for tedious folder navigation or coding skills, allowing users to leverage AI-driven actions to drive productivity efficiencies. Acting as a secure, standardized conduit, MCP seamlessly connects LLMs with enterprise systems to facilitate these advanced capabilities.
