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.

Boost Hardware Launches Part Surfer AI to Simplify Enterprise Part Matching

-- Wayzata, MN – After more than 15 years in the computer hardware industry, Boost Hardware recognized a recurring problem: customers searching for specific server parts, especially hard drives, SSDs, and memory, often struggle to find the exact match due to confusing or outdated part numbers.

In reality, those same components may be sold under multiple identifiers: manufacturer part numbers (MPNs), retail SKUs, Smart Buy labels, OEM codes, and more. To make things even more complex, the same part is frequently rebranded and distributed by different OEMs, making cross-compatibility a challenge.

To solve this, Boost Hardware is proud to unveil the Beta release of Part Surfer AI – a powerful search tool that makes identifying exact and compatible part numbers fast, easy, and reliable.

With a database of over 100,000+ enterprise drives and memory modules, users can enter any known part number and discover:

  • Search by any known part number
  • Instantly view exact, equivalent, and substitute part numbers
  • Filter by brand, capacity, interface, and more
  • Locate in-stock replacements faster

Supported brands already include:

HPE, Dell, Seagate, Samsung, IBM, Lenovo, Sun, Hynix, Micron, Cisco, Hitachi, Toshiba, Kingston, EMC, SuperMicro, Crucial, Solidigm, and Kioxia.

“We built Part Surfer AI because our customers needed a smarter way to find what they were looking for. This tool simplifies the chaos of part number matching and helps buyers make confident purchasing decisions, even for end-of-life hardware,” said Nate Meyer, co-founder of Boost Hardware.

Currently in beta, Part Surfer AI will soon expand support to SFPs, power supplies, switches, and other networking equipment. As the model continues to learn, new features and refinements are added weekly.
